The company Busch-Jaeger Elektro from Lüdenscheid has also fallen victim to product piracy. The design and function of its 'KNX' presence detector have been clumsily copied 1:1, although the counterfeit from Hefei Ecolite Software in China is less powerful and has a smaller detection range. Busch-Jaeger has had the design protected in the EU and also in China.
