KNX is stepping up its efforts in the fight against climate change announcing the first KNX Hackathon on the topic of sustainability.
The two-day event will bring together the global KNX community to share experiences, ideas, best practice information and effective solutions for reducing the energy consumption and the carbon footprint of homes and buildings by using KNX technology.
The winners of the competition will be awarded the prestigious "KNX Hackathon 2023" trophy and prize money.
Sustainability has been one of the most important topics for KNX. Thanks to its ever-evolving features, versatile applicability and broad interoperability, the world's leading technical standard for smart homes and buildings has been the foundation for the most innovative and ground-breaking energy management solutions in the residential and commercial building sector.
And while KNX is already widely recognised for improving people's lives and positively impacting the climate, the KNX Hackathon will once again demonstrate how powerful KNX technology can be when it comes to energy savings and reducing the carbon footprint of smart homes and buildings.
The worldwide competition is open to anyone who can demonstrate how to save energy using KNX. KNX will bring all participants together at in-person and virtual events to deploy challenges set by KNX experts.
A submission to the KNX Hackathon - be it a single device, a solution, or a complete project - must prove that it saves energy by using KNX to be valid.
Every valid submission will be promoted via different communication channels, and it will be assessed by a specially appointed jury of industry experts that will choose the finalists and winners of the KNX Hackathon 2023.
The KNX Hackathon itself will take place as part of the KNXperience on the 26-27 September, 2023.
