Iddero: Scenes editable by final user
The main feature of their latest release is the new scenes module. Up to now, their touch panels offered a classic KNX scene module where the scenes were kind of a “picture” of the status of actuators. From now on, we can still use this pattern, but we will also be able to select a new element in which scenes might be edited by the end user, who will be able to add delays between different actions .
On top of that, this new release includes bugfixes, standard improvements and the following updates:
- The modification of the “Shutter” element, which now supports abolute positioning.
- It supports the Catalanish language in the firmware.
- Enhancements in the web interface, especially for Android smartphones.
In order to see the complete list of improvements, you can download this document.
Both the firmware and the new editor versión are aready available on our web site :

- HC2 Product page

Update of Intesis Overview
On the other hand, Intesis enlarges its offer with new Samsung (SM-AC-KNX-4/ 8) and LG (LG-AC-KNX-4/8) gateways for the control of up to 4 or 8 interior units each. Those of you who have used these components in the past might know that the existing gateways were meant for a maximum of 16, 64 or 128 interior units. Now, with these entries we can control a smaller number of interior units at a lower price.
In Futurasmus KNX Group we have updated the overview table with all the new components to offer a general, complete and updated summary. You can download it here.

Why are these new modules interesting for a KNX professional? Because some of the new KNX visualization programs can send IP and/or RS232 telegrams and can therefore integrate A/V equipment without the need to buy the KNX module (EIB/IR Module).

IP camera visualization from Iddero touch panels
Now you can monitor IP cameras directly from Iddero's HC2-KNX and HC2L-KNX touch panels!
The new Iddero touch panels' firmware allows you to preview and monitor IP cameras in real time, directly from the touch panel. Most IP camera models from Axis, Mobotix, and Grandstream are supported (see complete list here). Additional manufacturers and models will be added in future releases.
This functionality can be enabled in existing touch panels by way of a firmware and software update (version 1.5). The update is free of charge.
