1. ETS software: Official tool used to set up and program KNX devices. It lets you create a project, connect devices, and define how your smart home works.

2. Right Device: You need to understand the function you need and corresponding devices. Example : You need dimming rights at night . To create a KNX dimming function, you need a few basic components: a KNX power supply to run the system, a dimming actuator to control the light brightness, a binary input to connect your push button, the push button itself for user control, the KNX bus cable to connect everything, and ETS software to configure the system.

3. SmartHomeAtlas: SmartHomeAtlas explains a KNX device in a structured and visual way. It starts with a clear overview of what the device is and its purpose, followed by key specifications. Then it breaks down the ETS interface into sections like Overview, Parameters, and Group Addresses, where each parameter is explained simply with its meaning, use, and example. Visuals and screenshots support understanding, while practical examples show how the device works in a real KNX setup. The main idea is that understanding and correct configuration of each parameter is what makes the system function properly.
