EiPlan-outside - easily create KNX projects
The well-known ETS app EiPlan is now also available in a separate version.
"EiPlan-outside" can be used independently of the ETS for planning KNX projects. It is simply installed under Windows 10 and is 100% compatible with the ETS app version EiPlan5.
EiPlan-outside can take over projects and devices from the ETS app EiPlan5 and edit them or create new projects.

EiPlan-outside is therefore particularly suitable for planning offices to expand the planning workstations without additional ETS licenses.
EiPlan-outside is also suitable for private individuals who want to plan the KNX system for their home without having to buy an ETS. You then hand the generated file to your electrician, who imports it into the ETS and realizes the project.
