One building. All protocols.
venfree has its own open format, and additionally reads all common building automation formats: Loxone, KNX, Shelly, BACnet and more. Everything in one unified, portable data model.

The open, vendor-neutral venfree data model. Export projects from the planner, share them with colleagues or import them again, fully portable, with no dependency on a single vendor.
Import of Loxone Config project files (.loxone). Rooms, categories, function blocks and all data points are mapped into the venfree data model, fully local in the browser.
Import ETS project files with complete topology, group addresses and device configuration. Password-protected projects are decrypted with a one-time entry.
In development & roadmap
Automatic detection of all Shelly devices on the local network. Configuration, scenes and schedules are read out, the first full overview of the installation.
Import BACnet configurations from various engineering tools. Objects, networks and addresses are mapped into the shared data model.
Import DALI configurations from various manufacturers. Luminaire groups, scenes and emergency lighting parameters are mapped uniformly.
Import Modbus register lists and device configurations. Finally a graphical project view for register-based systems.
Automatic detection of Tasmota and ESPHome devices on the local network. YAML configurations are read and visualised.
Import via local CCU or Homematic Cloud API. Devices, programs and system variables are mapped into the venfree data model.
Detection of Matter devices on the local network. Thread topology and device capabilities are read and visualised, once the standard has matured.
