Gira is continuously expanding and upgrading its product range. Here we will describe a large number of innovations and new features – from smart software updates for Gira Smart Home solutions to new components and design variants, as well as functional upgrades to existing products.
Gira pushbutton sensor 4 – the smart version of the light switch
The new Gira pushbutton sensor 4 will impress you with its high-quality, modern design, genuine materials and pleasant feel. A large number of KNX applications can be controlled centrally at the mere touch of a button: lights and light scenes, blinds, room temperature, entertainment and much more. The new pushbutton sensor 4 is available in a range of versions, materials and colours.
Gira Cube motion detector – the new device for outdoor use
Gira is offering a new, reliable motion detector with a modern square design for outdoor use. The Gira Cube motion detector is able to automatically control the switching of a lighting system in accordance with thermal movement and ambient brightness. The detection range can be customised using a cut-to-size covering panel, which is mounted in such a way that it cannot be seen. The Gira Cube motion detector is available in a range of designs and both conventional and KNX versions are available.
The Gira G1 central operation unit is the all-rounder for modern building technology. Not only does it offer central control of the Smart Home, as one of the first KNX operating devices, it also ensures increased data security. The KNX Secure software update enables encrypted and tamper-proof communication between the Gira G1 and other KNX Secure-capable devices, such as the Gira KNX switching and blind actuators.
Following the software update, the Gira X1 can be extended by 125/250 functions and 500/1000 data points for a fee. This means it is now also suitable for use in larger buildings. The software packages are available via the Gira AppShop. The Gira X1 also includes a number of new operating features. The end user can therefore extend the functional clocks with the astro or random function, sort and rename functions or rooms in the Gira Smart Home App or change the icons in the app. Furthermore, it can be seamlessly integrated into the Sonos Smart Home System and is certified with the “Works with Sonos Label”. The software update also extends the Gira IoT services to include voice control via Google Assistant and the IFTTT cloud-based web service.
The central control unit for the upscale Smart Home is being given a comprehensive software update. For example, start-up of the Gira HomeServer will be easier and more efficient and its operation more intuitive for the user. The data transmission is encrypted thanks to KNX Secure. In the QuadClient, a floor plan can be displayed to enable intuitive and fast operation. In addition, a new editor enables the simple creation of floor plans. The straightforward integration of the Gira Alarm Connect security system via a logic node on the Gira HomeServer is another example of the many new features. In order to ensure improved readability during the day, there is now a white version of the user interface in addition to the black one. It is possible to switch between day and night modes either manually or automatically.
The Gira Esprit design line is being extended with a high-quality frame variant – Gira Esprit Bronze (PVD). The sophisticated appearance of Gira Esprit Bronze (PVD) is timeless and elegant and it can be effectively combined with similarly coloured accessories such as door handles or fittings. More than 300 functions from the Gira System 55 are available. The frame is available in 1 to 4-gang versions.
The Gira E2 design line in grey matt is a logical extension of the existing colour range. The Gira E2 design line in grey matt is available in 1 to 5-gang versions and with normal and flat installation. This colour variant is also being added to the Gira System 55, which means that a multitude of functional inserts is now available in matt grey – from the socket outlet to the blind controller.
The modular Gira System 106 door intercom system, which can be flexibly combined with other elements, will be available in two new colours from Q4 2021. The on-trend bronze (PVD) and black matt tones on a stainless steel base complement the existing range. If you so desire, the existing designer front panels of the audio and info modules can be easily replaced without any need to replace the technology behind them.
Gira DCS mobile App – with new features for more convenience
Thanks to a software update for the DCS-IP gateway, the user can now access new functions that offer even greater convenience and security. Should you wish to check your door spontaneously, the camera can now also be switched on without a door call. The image memory offers sufficient space for 200 images so you can use your smartphone to see who rang your doorbell at a later time. The user can also activate or deactivate door call forwarding via the app. The user can also use the app to determine whether a PIN is required in order to open the door.
Thanks to the free update of the Gira eNet server, the Gira eNet SMART HOME can now be controlled with voice commands via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. The processes required for start-up are extremely straightforward. The functions can be configured in connection with the voice services in such a way that scene control in the Gira eNet SMART HOME can also take place via voice command.
The versatile Gira System 3000 has now been extended: Existing Gira System 3000 top units can now be easily exchanged for a new Gira eNet wireless operating top unit. When combined with the eNet wireless wall transmitter, an additional switching point can be added to the room. For even greater convenience, the eNet wireless operating top unit can also be used with the eNet server to enable control via smartphone, tablet or voice control.
Gira System 3000 with integrated room temperature controller
Gira is adding room temperature control to the existing Gira System 3000. This means that heating control is now also possible within the integrated Gira System 3000. The time-controlled setting of the temperature in individual rooms saves energy and ensures individual comfort at home. The room temperature control can be operated both locally via the operating element and via Bluetooth (Komfort version only). Whether you choose to operate the room temperature control directly via the device or via the Gira System 3000 App, all room temperature settings can be made easily and intuitively.
Gira KNX presence detector Mini Komfort with temperature sensor
The Gira KNX presence detector Mini Komfort, which is highly responsive yet extremely discreet, offers numerous functions. To offer even more application possibilities, Gira has extended it to include an integrated temperature sensor. As a result, not only can it regulate the light depending on the persons present in the room, it can also independently measure the current room temperature and activate switching commands. The compact design and a flexible mounting concept ensure simple flush and surface mounting. Thanks to its IP44 protection type, it is also suitable for mounting in outdoor and moisture-prone areas.
New Gira KNX switch and blind actuator
Gira is now offering a Standard and a Komfort version of the KNX actuators for the first time. 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 Komfort 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. Both variants feature a new DRA wiring concept: The connection terminals are now located on both sides of the housing instead of on top of one another, as was the case previously.
Gira KNX button – traditional control of smart technology
The new Gira KNX button is especially well-suited to residential and real estate properties where a KNX system is to be installed and traditional operating elements used. There is also a large selection when it comes to design: the Gira KNX button can be combined with the Gira System 55 design lines and the Gira F100.
Gira E2 design line with new surface-mounted solution
A surface-mounted housing in pure white glossy is now also available for the high-quality Gira E2 design line. This enables new design solutions to be implemented during retrofitting, anywhere where no lines or flush-mounted boxes have previously been installed. The new surface-mounted solution can be combined with over 300 functional inserts from the Gira System 55.
Gira Standard 55 design line with new surface-mounted solution
A new surface-mounted housing is available for the Gira Standard 55 design line in pure white glossy and cream white glossy. It is particularly well-suited to retrofitting, i.e. anywhere where no lines or flush-mounted boxes have previously been installed. The housing can be equipped with more than 300 functional inserts from the Gira System 55 and is available in 1-gang, 2-gang and 3-gang variants.
Gira G1 as an SIP Client
The smart Gira G1 operating unit can now also be used as a SIP client. This means that it can now be used to implement full network-based door communication in large buildings. In this case, the Gira G1 is used as a home station and is combined with a door station (from manufacturers such as Comelit, Schüco or TCS). The SIP functionality can be used with Gira KNX operating devices.
For smart collaboration – IFTTT connection for Gira server
To ensure that IoT devices can easily be integrated into a Gira KNX Smart Home, the Gira X1 and Gira HomeServer have been equipped with an IFTTT connection. This enables third-party IoT devices to be networked with the Gira KNX Smart Home. When combined with the Gira S1, data is transmitted securely. Thanks to the connection to IFTTT, the end user is able to independently create simple if-then rules – “if this, then that”. For example, if the “central off” switch is pressed when leaving the house, the robot vacuum cleaner can be activated at the same time.
Easy and efficient charging: Thanks to its USB-A and USB-C plug connectors the new USB power supply A & C allows two mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, cameras or other USB end devices, to be charged safely at the same time. Alongside the usual USB-A connection, the USB-C connection is primarily used for current and future mobile devices.
