New Iddero HC2-KNX 7" touch display
It has been named HC2-KNX and has a (15:9) panoramic display of 7". It presents as its main novelty the direct compatibility with IP video-door communications, without the need of any additional software or hardware. An extension module that allows to integrate conventional video-door communications based on the 4+N system and on the ADS digital system from Fermax will be soon available. Both the stereo speakers and the microphone come integrated in the display.
A free firmware update is expected for the beginning of next year, this will allow the visualization of IP cameras in the display.
It is also worth to mention that this display is mounted on the same 5,7" wall box as the HC1-KNX, this enables the possibility of mounting the wall box during the installation and then decide which version of the display will finally be fitted.
As the HC1-KNX, this touch display has an integrated KNX BCU, Thermostat function (requires the use of an external sensor to measure the temperature), integrated web server (compatible with mobile phone browsers), logic functions, timers, scenes, technical alarm management, time programming, presence simulation, etc.
And of course, following the same line of the previous products presented by Iddero, the price of the display is more than attractive: 1150.00€ with methacrylate frame (Web Code 10043), 1175.00€ with aluminium frame (Web Code 10044), and 1195.00€ with white crystal frame (Web Code 10045). Frames are removable and exchangeable.
Finally, to partner the launching of this new display, Iddero has significantly reduced the price of both the HC1-KNX display and the GSM expansion module.
All these prices are valid starting from today.

SMART METERING: the great Unknown
First step: choosing the right counter.
Due to the often complex information available and different terminology used by the manufacturers for the same concept, this step can be a tough one. And some KNX professionals let go of some good opportunities because of the lack of proper information.
This is why we have organized all relevant data and homogenized the most common terms regarding KNX meters of different brands in one comparative table for your convenience.
We highly recommend you to download and have a look at it.

Complete LED control via KNX
LEDs have existed for a long time, but have recently been enormously optimized for the lighting of home and building. Once the problems caused by heat generation were solved, there are only advantages:
- Very long-lasting
- Extremely low power consumption
- Small size
- Exceptional brightness
- Total color scheme with endless ambient possibilities
- Less maintenance
Since they have become a more and more important issue in home and building automation projects, there are already various ways to integrate LEDs in a KNX System.
We are glad to introduce BILTON, the one manufacturer who is 100% specialized in this technology and KNX. This Austrian company only develops LED lighting and its control systems.
After presenting their two LED actuators at the light+building fair in Frankfurt, now they are already available. Each one is optimized for one the two different LED technologies:
- KNX DIM-SEQUENCE-ACTOR 12-24 V DC for CONSTANT VOLTAGE CONTROL (interior use - ambient light)
- - 3-channel
- - 2.2 A per channel
- - Very complete KNX application program
- • KNX DIM-SEQUENCE-ACTOR CURRENT for CONSTANT CURRENT CONTROL (façade lighting)
- - Current adjustable: 350 / 500 / 700 mA
- - 24 V DC, nominal voltage
- - Output voltage 22 V
- - From 1 to 6 LED per channel
- - Very complete KNX application program
Do not hesitate to contact us or visit our web site for more detailed information. And also keep in mind that BILTON does not only manufacture the KNX controller but also a wide range of LED strips and spotlights (also available in Futurasmus KNX Group)
