Iddero: Scenes editable by final user
Iddero keeps on optimizing its touch panels and now we are once more amazed by their newest and very attractive update , which will be available as from today.
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 :
- HC1 Product page
- HC2 Product page
- HC2L Product page

Update of Intesis Overview
Manufacturer Intesis increases even more the integration possibilities for HVAC systems with their new Panasonic Gateway. The so named PA-AC-KNX-1 allows the supervision and control, in a totally bidirectional way, of all parameters of the interior units of the Panasonic A/C solutions.
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.

KOMTECH IR-Modules
Komtech, the well-known manufacturer for Audio/Video solutions that you can integrate in KNX, released in April 2010 its EIB/IR Module. This has proven to be a very useful product for the integration of most A/V equipments in KNX.
Now, the KOMTECH IR module family is available in four different versions, all of which share the following functionalities:
• Interfaces: 2x RS232; 4x IR; 4x Digital Out
• Integrated IR learing system
• 96 IR commands
• 48 RS232 commands
• 32 macros
• External power supply
• Incl. 2 IR transmitter diodes
Technical differences among them:
EIB/IR Module
LAN/IR Module
WLAN/IR Module
COM/IR Module
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).
