The KNX-Sentio Gateway allows one or more multi-room audio devices from the SENTIO range to be integrated with KNX technology, acting as an interface to other KNX devices.
The KNX-Sentio Gateway automatically detects the zones of the audio system in the network, and allows for each of them, a set of KNX group addresses to receive status information on the bus and send the following commands:
- Volume adjustment (both via percentage and increase/decrease commands)
- Highs and lows (both via percentage and increase/decrease commands)
- Play/Pause
- Mute
- Previous/next track advancement
- Setting Repeat and/or Random Play
- Preset / source selection (either by direct selection or by previous / next scrolling)
Information about the artist and the track being played is also sent on the KNX bus.
The KNX-Sentio Gateway is particularly suitable for operating the Sentio system from Signum control panels, via their audio control page.
