The AUTERAS® planning software generates cross-trade equipment concepts and uses AI to find suitable product combinations that can be automatically configured and integrated to a network. This saves the customer up to 90 % of the design and configuration effort, right down to the ETS!
AUTERAS® captures customer requirements in a natural form and uses them to generate standard-compliant room automation schemes in accordance with VDI 3813, EN 17609 and ISO 16484. The AI then derives implementation proposals using devices from the KNX catalog.

The ETS App from AUTERAS® represents the interface to the online service. For example, it can be used to load the automatically created device combinations from the KNX Online Catalog, configure them fully automatically and link them using group addresses.

This app provides a series of useful functions for device configuration (parameters and Group Addresses) in an ETS project.
The functions are:
Update: Changes the application program to a later or earlier version while retaining current configurations.
Convert: Transfers/adopts a configuration from an identical or compatible source device.
Channel Copy: Copies a channel configuration to other channels on a multichannel device.
Channel Exchange: Exchanges configurations between two channels on a multichannel device.
Import/Export: Saves and reads device configurations as external files.

"Check and Improve" helps you ensure and improve the formal quality of your ETS projects. This includes the verification and semi-automatic correction of spelling, configurable naming conventions, and the assignment of Datapoint types.
Without much effort, the project gets more clearly arranged, better maintainable and will be the perfect base for further use, e.g. for a visualization.

Some details:

The Spell checker can make use of many freely available dictionaries in lots of languages e.g. from the OpenOffice and Mozilla projects, plus user dictionaries for additional words.

The naming conventions can be defined by combining building blocks like "alternative", "concatenation", "list of allowed names", "list of names from project", "pattern" etc. to a rule.

The Datapoint type assignment has access to an online database with information currently about approx. 1000 application programs (continuously growing).

The current app version works only from ETS 5.7.2! The app is available for ETS6.

ETSpilot – AI Assistant for the ETS

ETSpilot is an AI-powered assistant for the ETS, consisting of an ETS AddIn and an associated web portal.

The AddIn integrates directly into the ETS and provides an intelligent assistant that supports the planner in designing KNX installations. It analyzes the open project, answers questions in chat and agent mode, and can automate recurring work steps – such as creating and parameterizing devices, structuring projects, and generating group addresses.

The Portal (account.etspilot.de) is used for account and subscription management, for storing your own AI provider and API key, for maintaining prompt templates, and for accessing multilingual help articles. Users retain full control over the AI services they use and their data.

ETSpilot speeds up commissioning, reduces routine effort, and lowers the barrier to entry for working with the ETS – with full transparency over all AI interactions.

Note: This version is currently a public beta. Features may still change and occasional issues may occur. We welcome your feedback.

The ETS App Extended Copy is used to quickly create similar structures in a project. During the copy process, a dedicated dialog will allow devices, bus lines, even complete building parts together with their destination address assignments, configuration, Group Addresses, links, text descriptions and other information to be adjusted. Thereafter, the configuration is inserted seamlessly.

Application area:

With the GPLA app, projects from the Gira Planning Assistant can be conveniently transferred to ETS. The transfer can be carried out using a transfer code or a file from the Gira Planning Assistant.

In addition, project files for the Gira X1 can be automatically generated for import into the Gira Project Assistant (GPA).

This app allows you to connect Hager KNX radio products to a KNX installation using the TR131N radio frequency-TP gateway.

Easy2ETS tool can be used to read out an installation made of Easy Hager and Berker devices configured with TXA100 and to take over the configuration with ETS.
Note:
- RF Devices cannot be read out.
- Bus access and ETS products data are required (product database).

KNX-MCP – ETS MCP Server for ETS5 and ETS6

Your AI assistant works directly inside the open ETS project.

KNX-MCP is an ETS App with an integrated MCP server (Model Context Protocol). It connects your open ETS project to MCP-compatible AI assistants, either directly or through an MCP gateway or compatible bridge.

The assistant accesses devices, group addresses, parameters, topology and building structures through the official ETS interfaces. It works with the current project data without requiring a project export or a separate copy.

What can you do with KNX-MCP?

KNX-MCP helps you explore and analyse existing KNX installations, check and extend ETS projects, commission installations and troubleshoot KNX systems.

Typical questions and tasks:

• "Which projects are currently open in ETS? Please also list information about each of these projects."
• "Which presence detectors on the 2nd floor are not linked to a lighting group yet?"
• "Which group addresses of the hall lighting have more than one sender?"
• "Create switch, dimming value and status addresses for meeting rooms 2.01 to 2.06."
• "Show me all devices and communication objects in the meeting room."
• "What is the current temperature in the server room?"
• "Which devices on line 1.1 are currently responding on the KNX bus?"

Full control over project changes and bus operations

You decide which functions your AI assistant may execute. Each tool can be configured with one of three permission levels: Allowed, Confirmation required or Blocked.

An additional read-only mode prevents project modifications and telegram transmission.

Every project modification is performed as a separate, named step in the ETS undo history. Sending telegrams requires individual confirmation. Device programming is blocked by default.

Multiple ETS projects and AI assistants

KNX-MCP supports both ETS5 and ETS6. Multiple open ETS projects can be accessed through a single MCP endpoint, and several AI assistants can connect simultaneously.

The integration is independent of any particular AI provider. You can use a compatible MCP client directly or connect through an MCP gateway or bridge.

Intelligent tool descriptions and skills

KNX-MCP provides structured tool descriptions and additional guidance to help the AI assistant understand and use the available ETS functions. Many tasks can already be performed without dedicated skills.

Reusable skills and additional practical examples will be made available through the KNX-MCP Community. They are intended to simplify complex and recurring workflows.

Local operation and data privacy

KNX-MCP runs directly inside ETS on your computer. By default, the MCP endpoint is accessible only from the local computer.

There is no central KNX-MCP cloud service through which your ETS project data is routed. You choose which AI assistant to connect and which provider, if any, processes your data.

KNX-MCP is currently available free of charge in the KNX Online Shop.
