Busch-ComfortPanel - new 2.1 software version
During the last edition of the light+building in 2008 Busch-Jaeger presented its Busch-ComfortPanel, a 9” touch display that raised the admiration of both integrators (due to its technical features) and end users (thanks to its design and multimedia elements).
Beside the usual functions to control the home automation elements of a KNX system, this display also operates as a multimedia server, it implements IP cams, it allows recording text and voice messages, RSSs access, etc.
Now it is news again because it has taken a step forward and the new 2.1 software version includes:
• VoIP telephone with its own number and videoconference possibilities thanks to the integrated camera
• Streaming for online radio
• Communication with Miele home appliances
• Remote control via cell phone
• Babyphone
On the whole, this display distances itself from others of its kind and we will definitely have to visit Busch-Jaeger’s booth at the light+building in April.

The 4th Generation of the ETS
There is a lot going on at the KNX Association (and the KNX world) at present and we reckon there is more to come in the next months! One of the matters concerning KNX professionals most are changes relating the ETS and it seems that these are very close by.
Actually, the 4th generation for the manufacturer’s version has recently been released and can be purchased now. The ETS3 manufacturer workspaces and also the ETS2 manufacturer tool have officially been replaced by the KNX Manufacturer Tool 4.0.
The main features of the new software are:
• It allows registration/ certification documentation in electronic form.
• It allows creation of product databases for ETS3 and also for the upcoming ETS4.
And this leads us to what’s important for system integrators: there also is a release date for the new ETS4: 13th April 2010 (light & building, Frankfurt) is the big day. The presentation will be made at the Forum at the Frankfurt Fair grounds.
Once we have more information about the new software, we will let you know on this very spot.
