Demo phase: venfree is still being built.
venfree.de
The world’s first browser-based building automation viewer

Building automation.
Finally without vendor software.

Plan your smart home from scratch. Open existing project files. Export to KNX, Loxone or Home Assistant, free, in your browser, no install.

No registration · No install · No license

Vendor software is the problem.

For homeowners. For integrators. For anyone without Windows or a license.

€200–€1,000 license
Lite at €200 can manage at most 20 devices. Home at €350 is limited to a single project. Professional costs €1,000.
Windows only
No Mac, no Linux, no browser, no tablet. If you don’t run Windows, you simply can’t reach your own bus system.
Homeowners are gatekeeper victims
Every change costs €80–€150/hour of integrator time. The homeowner doesn’t understand what they own, and can’t touch it themselves.
Unique selling point

First in the world.

No other tool opens and visualizes building automation project files directly in the browser, without install, without an active bus gateway, without a license. What the industry had been missing for years is now here.

“Plan freely. Export wherever you want.”

Three apps. One platform.

No matter where you start. Viewer or Planner, you'll always end up in the Builder.

Explore
