Houseinhand is an application for KNX installation control via iOS terminals (iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch). With a friendly and intuitive interface, it allows to control installation components in a very simple way:

· Lighting/Dimming
· Blind/Shutter
· RGB
· HVAC
· Generic controllers of 1 bit and 1 byte
· Weather stations
· Scenes
· IP cameras (Mobotix and Axis)
· Technical alarms
· Audiovisual control (requires IRTrans or Global Cache)
· Etc.

If we add a very competitive price to its great functionality and excellent aesthetics we get, without no doubt, one of the most interesting Apps for KNX control via iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch.

Starting today, you can acquire your Houseinhand license in Futurasmus KNX Group. Each iOS device needs an individual license. You can find out more about the different license types in our website.

For KNX Bus communication, it requires a KNXnet/IP Gateway. Depending on the number of simultaneous connections required, we recommend one of the following gateways:

· Weinzierl IP 730: 1 connection
· Weinzierl IP BAOS 771: 5 connections

Internet is a great information tool, but it might not replace personal contact. In 2012 we want to get to know you (our web users) and that is why we have arranged a series of KNX presentations and trainings.

The first to go are our web users from Istanbul and Nicosia. For them we have prepared a presentation of our most recommended KNX products (in English) and we hope to see you all there.

Forget the usual commercial presentations. This is more a technical crash-course with information and solutions you can apply in your everyday installations.

We will present the best products of KNX manufacturers such as: ARCUS, BILTON, ELSNER, IDDERO, IPAS, MDT, LINGG & JANKE, INTESIS, etc.

If you’re interested, you can download the final programs here:

-    TURKEY (The Byzantium Hotel, Instanbul, 2ND March)
-    CYPRUS (Allegra Hotel, Nicosia, 7th March)

The Manufacturer Elsner launches a new version of its successful range of sensors with display. This variant includes measurement of:

- Temperature
- Absolute and relative humidity
- CO2

It also allows PI regulation of temperature (cooling, heating, additional heating and cooling ) PI regulation of CO2 (2 levels), dew point calculation, 4 temperature thresholds, 2 humidity thresholds, 4 CO2 thresholds, register of máximum and mínimum value, 8 AND logic functions with 4 inputs each, 8 OR logic functions with 4 inputs each, temperature / humidity and CO2 sensor failure detection and more interesting functionalities.

The display can show up to three lines, in each of which you can visualize the values measured by the sensor, as well as external values of 1 byte or 2 bytes, date, hour or chains of 14 bytes.

The two buttons integrated in the right and left lower corner allow to modify the desired temperature value of the integrated PI regulator, or to be used as KNX pushbuttons for switching, blind control, dimmer control, sending of 1 byte and 2 byte values or to call KNX scenes.

The BCU is integrated in the device as in all the products from this range.

The price is also very surprising, considering the great power and nice aesthetics of this component.

For more information, you can contact us via telephone or email, or take a look at the product’s information found in our website.

Manufacturer IPAS has redesigned the internal hardware of their push-button range, thus replacing their old BCU with an updated version that allows a much more advanced functionality.

Of course, they have kept their modern look, their robustness and the possibility of customization.

We would like to highlight the following updates:

•    Complete shutter control with just one key: up, down, stop and slat control.
•    Complete dimmer control with just one key: on, off, brightness up and down
•    Send 1-byte-values (0…255=0..100%).
•    Send two 1-byte-values with just one key, alternate between them (0…255=0..100%).
•    Saving and executing scenes
•    Increasing or decreasing a 1-byte-value on a step basis (10%,20%,25%,33%,50%)

Currently, the new application program is not available for push-buttons without temperature control, even though it will be ready soon.

The old versions will be discontinued and the new ones keep the same reference number, with ‘-0B’ at the end.

Please, visit the IPAS product pages on our web site and find more information about these and other IPAS products.
