SIEGENIA speaks KNX

New room comfort benefits for building automation

SIEGENIA is opening up new business opportunities for fabricators with the continued development of its fully motorised GENIUS multi-point lock, the semi-automatic A-opener for automatic multi-point locking systems and the DRIVE CL motorised window drive: all three of these drives can be fully integrated into KNX building automation systems using digital technology. By taking this first step towards KNX-enabled solutions for façades, SIEGENIA is providing fabricators with the ability to process orders for high-end residential and commercial buildings which require smart solutions to be digitally integrated into the building management system. End users will benefit from this in the form of various room comfort advantages. These range from simple and intuitive operation, energy efficiency, burglar resistance and accessibility to complete automation of the home.

Small gateway – wide range of applications

SIEGENIA has developed an extremely compact, certified KNX gateway for this purpose, which can be used to integrate SIEGENIA products with SI-BUS compatibility into KNX building automation systems. This also includes encrypted communication via KNX secure. The gateway also supports control and monitoring of the connected drives via KNX and is suitable for both flush-mounting and top-hat rail mounting. 

This opens up a wide range of options and application scenarios for end users. For example, they can configure the front door to lock automatically at nightfall or set up Coming Home and Leaving Home scenarios. On the other hand, scenarios that automatically open and close the windows are ideal for saving energy at night during the hot summer months.
