Build a clearer KNX product shortlist, supplier comparison and purchasing plan before requesting quotations or samples.
This practical checklist helps distributors, system integrators, developers and hotel solution providers define project scope, calculate device quantities and verify technical documentation. For a room-level example, see our KNX hotel RCU mock-up room case and its sample BOM.
Use it to review KNX smart switches and control panels, KNX sensors, actuators, power supplies, gateways, thermostats and HVAC controls, certifications, ETS product files, sample status and supplier readiness.

Practical KNX Project BOM Planning Table
Use this table before requesting a quotation. The more complete the project inputs are, the easier it is for a supplier to prepare an accurate KNX product shortlist, BOM and sample plan.

|---|---|---|---|
| Project scope | Building type, room/area count, construction stage and target completion date | __________ | Scope summary and proposed system architecture |
| Lighting circuits | Quantity of switched circuits, load type and rated power per circuit | __________ | Actuator channel schedule and load compatibility |
| Dimming / DALI | Dimming protocol, driver type, number of luminaires and required groups/scenes | __________ | Dimmer or KNX-DALI gateway selection |
| Curtains / blinds | Motor quantity, voltage, direction control and interlock requirements | __________ | Curtain actuator model and channel allocation |
| HVAC and climate | FCU type, valve/fan control, floor heating, fresh air and thermostat requirements | __________ | Thermostat, actuator and interface schedule |
| Sensors | Presence, motion, temperature, humidity, CO₂, illuminance and door/window detection | __________ | Sensor type, detection coverage and installation notes |
| User interfaces | Push-button switches, touch panels, thermostats, room functions and finish | __________ | Panel schedule, function mapping and finish options |
| System devices | KNX power supplies, line couplers, IP routers/interfaces and topology | __________ | Topology drawing and capacity calculation |
| Gateways / integration | BACnet, Modbus, DALI, hotel PMS, access control, voice or third-party systems | __________ | Gateway list and integration responsibility matrix |
| Visualization | Local visualization, mobile access, server, remote maintenance and user permissions | __________ | Software/server proposal and licensing details |
| Documentation and spares | ETS database, drawings, labels, manuals, spare ratio and handover documents | __________ | Document list, spare recommendation and delivery format |
Pre-Submission Checklist
- Attach floor plans, electrical drawings or room schedules where available.
- Separate required functions from optional functions.
- State the target market, required certifications and preferred design positioning.
- Confirm whether the supplier should quote devices only or also provide ETS support and system design.
- Request model numbers, quantities, unit prices, lead time, warranty and ETS product databases in the quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information is needed for a KNX BOM review?
Please provide the building type, room or area count, required functions, lighting and HVAC details, target market, preferred design level, budget position and any available drawings or existing equipment schedule.
Can this checklist be used for both villas and hotels?
Yes. The table can be adapted to villas, apartments, hotels and other buildings. Hotel projects normally require additional room-repeatability, DND/MUR, occupancy, access-control and PMS integration checks.
Does WinSmartHome supply every product in the KNX BOM?
Not necessarily from one factory. WinSmartHome works with selected Chinese manufacturers and coordinates suitable switches, panels, sensors, actuators, gateways and system devices according to the project requirements.
Can you review an existing KNX quotation or BOM?
Yes. Send the existing BOM, quotation or room schedule through the enquiry form. We can check missing categories, duplicated functions, compatibility risks and the information required before requesting final prices or samples.
Need an Independent KNX BOM Review?
Send us your project inputs. WinSmartHome can help shortlist suitable devices, check the BOM structure and coordinate samples from selected manufacturers in China. For project-oriented product selection and manufacturer coordination, explore our KNX solutions for villas, hotels and buildings.
