I. Core Parameter Analysis
1. Core Functional Parameters
| Parameter Category |
Detailed Description |
| 2-Key Targeted Customizable Control |
Each key supports independent programming via KNX engineering software, focusing on core control needs of small functional areas, avoiding function redundancy:
1. Single-device dedicated control: Assign keys to high-frequency use equipment (e.g., Key 1 = entryway ambient light on/off, Key 2 = shoe cabinet dehumidifier switch; Key 1 = walk-in closet fill light dimming, Key 2 = wardrobe induction light switch);
2. Ultra-simple scene linkage: One key triggers 2-device collaborative operations (e.g., Key 1 = "Going Out Mode" — turn off entryway light + turn on shoe cabinet dehumidifier; Key 2 = "Homecoming Mode" — turn on entryway light + turn off dehumidifier);
3. Stepless adjustment function: Long press the key to realize stepless control of adjustable devices (e.g., long press Key 1 to adjust closet light brightness from 10% to 100%, meeting different lighting needs for dressing). |
| KNX System Basic Linkage & Status Feedback |
Complies with KNX TP1 standard protocol, realizing seamless integration with KNX actuators, human presence sensors and small central controllers:
1. Sensor linkage: Link with human presence sensors to automatically turn on entryway/closet lights when someone enters, and turn off lights after 15 minutes of vacancy to save energy; link with photosensitive sensors to adjust light brightness according to ambient light intensity;
2. Two-way status feedback: Receive real-time running status of controlled devices, displayed via key backlight (steady light = device running, off = closed, flashing = abnormal operation);
3. Cross-panel expansion: Support linkage with multi-key panels of the same series (e.g., control this 2-key panel via the living room 5-key panel to realize unified management of the whole house). |
| Configurable Key Backlight Indication |
Equipped with soft cold white backlight that matches the high-gloss white panel, supporting two working modes:
1. Status synchronization mode: Backlight status is consistent with controlled devices, visible in dark environments without being dazzling, and the cold white light matches the clean style of the panel;
2. Energy-saving auto-off mode: Backlight turns off automatically after 8s of inactivity, reducing power consumption while avoiding light pollution in bedrooms or closets. |
2. General Technical Parameters
| Parameter Category |

II. Main Application Scenarios
This product is positioned as a small functional area dedicated control terminal with a clean appearance, suitable for scenarios that require simple and efficient control and pursue a tidy space visual effect, especially small spaces and local control areas.
1. Civil Residence Scenarios
- Entryways & Walk-in Closets:The most typical application scenario—install at the entrance or inside the closet, program Key 1 to control the entryway ambient light and Key 2 to control the shoe cabinet dehumidifier, or Key 1 to control the closet fill light and Key 2 to control the wardrobe induction light. The high-gloss white panel matches the white wall or closet door, achieving a hidden decorative effect, and the 2-key simple control meets daily use needs.
- Bedroom Bedsides & Dressing Tables:Install beside the bed or at the dressing table, program Key 1 to control the bedside reading light and Key 2 to control the dressing table fill light. The bright high-gloss white panel brightens the small space beside the bed, and the auto-off backlight will not affect sleep at night. The stepless dimming function can adjust the light brightness to the most suitable level for reading or dressing.

Install one panel in each small functional area (entryway, closet, bedside) to realize local intelligent control, reducing the cost of whole-house smart transformation.
2. Commercial Building Scenarios
- Economical Hotel Guest Rooms:Integrate with the hotel management system, program Key 1 to control the bedside reading light and Key 2 to control the room night light. When guests insert the room card, the panel automatically activates; when guests go to bed, they can turn off the main light and turn on the night light with one key, improving the guest experience. The high-gloss white appearance gives the guest room a clean and tidy visual effect, in line with the positioning of economical hotels.
- Convenience Store Cashier Counters & Small Retail Stores:Install at the cashier counter or inside the store's small storage room, program Key 1 to control the cashier desk lamp and Key 2 to control the storage room light.
