Craig Ross
Craig Ross has been working for the past 16 years in the groundbreaking field of KNX technology, an Open Protocol that now allows a wide range of diverse and independent products and technologies to be managed by one protocol.
Initially developed in Europe, this technology is now rapidly expanding into the Australian market. Craig was one of the early adopters as he recognized early on with the growth of the home automation field that proprietary protocols had significant drawbacks to widespread uptake in the domestic market.
Cost and compatibility are a paramount consideration in this market sector. Whilst initial consumer demand was acceptable at the high end of the market, the current trend now is to install more “Smart Home” technology, especially in the areas of security, home automation, entertainment and energy efficiency. The demand for KNX has never been greater.
Craig not only works closely with product suppliers but also provides design, consulting and programming support to many electrical contractors in their own customers’ projects.
Craig now brings that skill, experience and knowledge to this exciting new course.
