KNX switching and blind actuators

Available in standard and deluxe versions

Depending on the parameters set, the Gira KNX switching and blind actuator can be used in the Smart Home to switch lighting and other electronic devices, or to control blinds, shutters, awnings, and windows. The new Gira KNX switching/blind actuators are available in standard and deluxe versions. The standard version is particularly well suited to use in residential buildings in conjunction with the Gira X1, and in commercial systems where a large number of actuators with purely basic functions are required. In the deluxe version, many functions can be used directly in the actuator itself thanks to its comprehensive functionality. This saves time and reduces the burden on the bus.
