Are you thinking of installing a home automation systemZ ZOr do you already have one? Surely, two of the most popular options are KNX ZandZ BTicino MyHome.
Identification of a home automation system KNX
KNX home automation technology is widespread and used throughout the world. But if you're trying to figure out if you already live in a KNX facility, there are a few things you can look for. First, all KNX-branded IoT devices are labeled with the logo of the ZKNX protocol. Additionally, you should be able to see the letters "KNX" printed on the device or packaging.
Another way to identify a KNX system is to look at the wires. If your home automation system has green and white cables in twisted pairs, it is likely that it is a KNX brand system. This is because all KNX devices use a standardized communication protocol that allows them to communicate with each other through these cables.
Identification of a home automation system BTicino MyHome
BTicino MyHome is another type of home automation system which is very widespread especially in Europe Zand mainly in Italy. To identify a BTicino MyHome system, as with the KNX, you can look for the BTicino logo or the words "BTicino MyHome" printed on the devices.
BTicino MyHome devices use a different communication protocol from that of the KNX devices, so you will not see the wires green and white twisted pair. In fact, the BTicino MyHome devices communicate with each other using a wired BUS system. For this reason, if there are two-wire cables in your home automation system, it is very likely that it is a BTicino MyHome.

While the BTicino MyHome system is a proprietary system produced by a single manufacturer.
