KNX and DALI
Q: I have seen a number of Dali jobs fail after commissioning. Will KNX stop this happening?
A: KNX and DALI work very well together. DALI on its own can suffer problems when more than one DALI world of 64 devices is used. KNX solves many problems and is very robust when it comes to DALI lighting control. There are many good working examples of DALI KNX.
