I. Core Parameter Analysis
1. Core Functional Parameters
| Parameter Category |
Detailed Description |
| 8-Key Customizable Control (Core Differentiated Advantage) |
Each key supports independent programming via KNX engineering software, with the strongest expansion capability in the series, and supports single-device control, partition group control, complex scene linkage and combination-key advanced functions:
1. Full-device coverage control: Assign keys to different systems and partitions (e.g., Key 1–3 for multi-floor lighting, Key 4 for curtain groups, Key 5 for central air conditioning, Key 6 for fresh air system, Key 7 for security linkage, Key 8 for custom scene);
2. Super complex scene linkage: Single key triggers collaborative operation of dozens of devices (e.g., Key 8 = "Holiday Mode" — turn off all indoor lights + close curtains + set air conditioner to energy-saving temperature + turn on courtyard security lights + activate video surveillance);
3. Combination-key tiered control: Press multiple keys together to implement tiered functions (e.g., Key 1+Key 2 = cross-floor lighting loop control, Key 5+Key 6 = HVAC temperature fine-tuning, Key 7+Key 8 = emergency evacuation mode);
Short press for on/off, long press for stepless adjustment (brightness, curtain opening degree, temperature). |
| KNX System Compatibility & Two-Way Intelligent Feedback |
Complies with KNX TP1 standard protocol, seamlessly integrating with all KNX standard devices (switch actuators, dimming actuators, curtain controllers, HVAC controllers, security sensors, energy meters). Supports two-way data interaction with three-level status feedback:
1. Device running status: Backlight on = running, off = closed;
2. Device fault status: Backlight flashing = abnormal operation (e.g., lighting circuit short circuit, curtain jamming);
3. Energy consumption status: Connect with KNX energy meters to display real-time energy consumption of the controlled area via backlight brightness (dimmer backlight = lower energy consumption). |
| Intelligent Backlight & Humanized Indication |
Equipped with adjustable color temperature backlight (3000K warm yellow/5000K cool white optional), supporting four working modes:
1. Status indication mode: Synchronize with device status;
2. Night low-glare mode: Automatically reduce brightness by 70% after 22:00 and turn off after 00:00;
3. Touch activation mode: Backlight turns on only when the panel is touched, and turns off automatically after 15s;
4. Energy-saving reminder mode: Backlight flashes when the energy consumption of the controlled area exceeds the preset threshold. |
| Multi-Terminal Remote Control Expansion |
Support linkage with KNX IP gateways, central controllers and cloud platforms to realize full-scenario remote management:
1. Mobile APP control: Replicate all key functions on smartphones, supporting remote scene triggering and parameter modification;
2. Voice control: Compatible with mainstream voice assistants (via KNX-voice gateway), supporting natural language commands (e.g., "turn on the whole house reception mode");
3. Centralized management platform: Connect to building management systems (BMS) to realize unified monitoring, function adjustment and data statistics of multiple panels in the building. |
2. General Technical Parameters
