The Light + Building Trade Show is one of the key events in the My KNX Store calendar and brings together the last building control solutions on the global stage. It was great to see Zennio, one of our key suppliers, once again have a strong presence at the show and launch a plethora of new products and upgrades to existing popular devices. This part 1 article provides a snapshot of the back-end products featured, now available or coming soon to My KNX Store.
Part 2 coming soon which will showcase the advancement to Zennio’s front-end profile.
Binary Inputs
Zennio already provided an extensive range of inputs devices to maximise the control solutions that can be achieved within their portfolio, along with flexible installation methods. Device inputs can be configured as sensors, switches or potential-free push buttons along with outputs for low current LED control. At the Light + Building trade show we saw upgrades to their existing 2 and 4 gang variants, with reduced sizing for both, along with the showcase of new 6 and 8-gang variants. The latter coming soon to My KNX Store.
Key features:
- Reduced size 39x39x10.5mm
- 2/4/6/8 input/output versions
- Temperature probe input with different terminal
- 1 Thermostat module
- KNX Secure

Comb busbar
Due to variation of device types within a KNX project, and the quantity of those devices, it can result in more complex control panels and the associated time to design / build the enclosures. To assist with this process Zennio has launched a Comb Busbar which can be used on a selected group of din rail actuators.
