KNX Smart Panel 8

KNX Smart Panel 8: Update 4.11 turns the touch display into a SIP-capable indoor station As a central operating device for controlling the KNX system, the JUNG KNX Smart Panel 8 impresses not only with its intuitive operation but also with regular software updates. The latest update turns the KNX touch display into a flexible SIP client as an intercom station and thus expands the possibilities for intelligent door communication. Maximum flexibility thanks to a central control unit in the Smart Home In a family home with an SIP-capable IP outdoor station, the KNX Smart Panel 8 takes over the function of the indoor station. When the doorbell is pressed, the KNX visualisation on the display automatically fades away and the door station establishes a direct audio/video transmission to the panel via a peer-to-peer connection. The residents see the live image on the display, communicate with the visitor and conveniently trigger the door release with a tap. At the same time, the user interface can be used to activate KNX scenes in the house or switch on the outdoor lighting via KNX telegrams. After the call, the KNX visualisation automatically returns and clearly displays all the statuses in the home. Scalable as an intercom solution in smart buildings Thanks to the new SIP capability, a wide range of applications for intelligent KNX visualisation are also possible in commercial environments. In combination with the Smart Control 8, the system can be expanded into a powerful intercom solution in the building, for example in multi-storey medical buildings or office complexes. Internal calls between reception and employees in offices can be answered at any time or routed to panels in meeting rooms. At the same time, the room temperature can be increased at the respective touch display in preparation for the next meeting. The lighting can also be dimmed in combination with the JUNG KNX DALI-2 actuator, for example to create suitable lighting conditions for presentations. Structured presentation and reliable operation As an SIP intercom station, the JUNG KNX Smart Panel 8 impresses with clear comprehensibility and high functionality thanks to well-designed navigation and user guidance. Large tiles arranged in a defined grid ensure that all KNX functions are clearly displayed and easy to operate on the screen. This makes the KNX Smart Panel 8 ideal for use in sports facilities, care homes or hospitals - wherever building technology must be operated accurately with KNX. Conclusion With SIP in the KNX Smart Panel 8, JUNG is expanding its range of intelligent solutions for the networked building. The integration of SIP-capable intercom systems and KNX on a common touch screen creates real added value for building operators and users. The KNX Smart Panel 8 is cost-efficient and space-saving, as no additional screen is required on the wall. This makes adding an intercom system to a KNX installation an easy retrofit advantage for building owners and system integrators.
