Dimming actuator - The technical requirements for the use of dimming actuators are very extensive. Why do I need a dimming actuator and which dimming actuator is the right one for me? In this eibabo catalog you will find many dimming actuators from different manufacturers, for example from the top brands ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Eaton, EVN, Gira, Hager, Issendorf, Jung, Lingg & Janke, MDT, Merten, Siemens and Theben various automation systems or conventional applications.How do I plan the lighting correctly?You should not start with the control technology first, because this follows at the very end of the lighting planning. First you should plan the lighting according to necessity, appearance, ambience and your own wishes, followed by the functional requirements and then find the right lights.Save by planning!The more precise, the cheaper the execution of the installations. The more complex the functional requirements are, the more important it is to plan and research a suitable SmartHome system.Only then is the functional implementation carried out, which consists of many other topics.What should I know beforehand?Which lights do I want to install?Do I want to use a conventional installation or a bus system?Should the SmartHome be wired or radio (KNX, DALI, or Zigbee radio protocols such as Hue)?Which lights are switched and/or dimmed together and how?Should it be controlled via app or voice assistant?and much more... ... this results in the following findings, for example:Which cables and lines are required?Which control components (e.g. dimming actuators) have to be considered?To what extent do the operating resources have to be secured?How much space must be provided in the electrical distribution?Do I have to consider special flush-mounted sockets for lights?and much more... What do I have to consider before buying a dimming actuator?Before you buy a KNX dimming actuator, the load types of the equipment and their performance should be checked carefully. There are basically 3 types of KNX dimming actuators. There are dimming actuators with the control type leading edge, trailing edge or universal dimming actuators that recognize the connected load type and automatically activate the correct type of control. TIP:Install a few more lights in the room and use a dimming actuator to create a pleasant lighting ambience. KNX dimming actuators are available for installation in the electrical distribution system, then they have the suffix 'REG' for modular installation devices or as a concealed version 'UP' for installation in a mounting box or junction box or as an installation version 'EB' for integration in ducts or similar. 230V halogen lamps or incandescent lamps, for example, can be operated with both types of control.What is the difference between leading edge dimming and trailing edge dimming?Very simply explained; 12V low-voltage lighting (NV) with a conventional iron-core transformer requires phase control dimming, although these transformers are hardly ever used. 12V low-voltage lighting (NV) with an electronic transformer requires trailing edge dimming.The type of dimming of the dimming actuator can be recognized by the abbreviation 'RL' for trailing edge dimming for incandescent lamps, 230 volt halogen lamps and the abbreviation 'RC' for trailing edge dimming for incandescent lamps, 230V high-voltage halogen lamps, 12V low-voltage halogen lamps, dimmable LEDs and dimmable ones energy-saving lamps. It is also possible that both abbreviations 'RC' and 'RL' can be found printed on the dimming actuator. Often you will also find this imprint: 'R, L, C'. It designates which equipment the dimming actuator can work with (dimmer, transformer, LED). If you find all 3 letters or the abbreviations 'RL' and 'RC', then it is usually a universal dimming actuator.Image: KNX LED universal dimming actuator - Jung 390041SRIn this case, however, the limit values of the power ranges for each type of dimming with connected equipment must be observed. Dimming actuators often have minimum loads, which may not be suitable for the use of LEDs. Trailing edge dimming 'RC' (trailing edge control) is the most common application. Basically, the lamp and the dimmer must be marked as 'dimmable' and fit together. TIP:For LEDs, we always recommend LED dimmers or LED controllers, which have also been developed for exactly this application. If in doubt, you can also contact the manufacturer of the dimming actuator directly if you send a data sheet for the equipment (lamps and, if applicable, ballasts).Can I dim a fluorescent lamp? Are energy-saving lamps dimmable?Yes, fluorescent lamps and energy-saving lamps can also be dimmed, provided the lamp is suitable and marked as 'dimmable' or, in the case of fluorescent lamps, there is a dimmable electronic ballast (EVG) for 1-10V or the DALI standard. You can find KNX dimming actuators for electronic ballasts with a 1-10V interface under Smart Home > Light control unit. Another standard for electronic ballasts is DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface). The advantage over the 1-10V variant is that addressing is possible and there is no wiring according to groups. Further advantages are direct addressing, status messages, scene memory and a wide range of dimming options with the DALI ECG.How do I find out if my lamp / luminaire is dimmable?Basically, the light source used should first be checked to see whether it is dimmable. You can find this marking in the item description or on the packaging. Lamps that have already been planned and fitted with light sources must be checked for dimmability and the type of control with the control gear used.How do I determine the power for my dimming actuator?It must be clear which light groups are to be switched and dimmed together and how high the total output (W/VA) of the group is in order to select the appropriate KNX dimming actuator with regard to the required maximum output, the minimum load and the number of channels as well as the type of control Find. eibabo always recommends a thorough analysis of the application prior to purchase. Lamps and illuminants must be technically analyzed and checked against the technical data of the dimming actuator. In addition, there are countless different parameter properties of KNX dimming actuators between the manufacturers.Why can't I dim my LED light?All dimming actuators meet the standard requirements for dimming. In addition, many manufacturers offer additional interesting parameters. These parameters may be functionally important for your project. The marking KNX universal dimming actuator does not automatically mean that these dimming actuators are also suitable for dimming the LEDs you use.

Network switch - You want to connect several computers or other digital devices in a local network? The devices should be able to exchange data with each other? A network switch takes over this task. Find out here which functions a network switch takes on and what you should pay attention to when buying one.What are network switches?In our everyday life we are surrounded by more and more computers, laptops, mobile tablets and other digital devices. We use them not only at home, but also in offices, in administration and in numerous industrial processes. The more devices are to participate in a network, the more difficult their network integration becomes. After all, transferring information via CD, DVD or USB stick is now considered to be very time-consuming and cumbersome. This problem used to be solved by using so-called hubs, but these have now almost all been replaced by intelligent network switches. Coupling elements within computer networks that connect the network segments to one another are therefore referred to as switches or network switches. The devices represent the main node of a network. This is very useful in many situations, for example:in an industrial network in which sensors monitor automated processes and transmit measurement data to a control centerin a company or office complex with a large number of computers, network printers and other digital devicesin a local home network, which consists of computers, laptops, tablets and smart TVs, for examplein a video surveillance system with computer and many cameras Of course, there are numerous other use cases. These devices are often also referred to as network switches or distributors. When it comes to network switches, we basically differentiate between layer 2 switches and layer 3 switches or even higher switches.What is the difference between Layer 2 switches and Layer 3 switches?The Layer 2 switches are usually simpler models and have basic functions. These Layer 2 devices are usually available without management functions, but can have functions such as port blocking or statistics calculation. TIP:To increase bandwidth, you can combine two or more physical ports into one logical port. This is called bundling or Etherchannel. How does a layer 2 switch work?The switch receives data from devices that access it. A switching table is thus gradually filled with subscriber addresses. On subsequent accesses, the switch reads the address of the sending device. By evaluating the routing table, it is determined to which device the data should be sent. The other devices in the network are not affected by this transaction. If the switch does not find a recipient address in its table, the data is transmitted to all connected devices with the exception of the sender. As soon as the correct recipient replies to the data transmission, this also receives a new entry in the routing table. In the case of future data transfers with the same node address, the switch can carry out the transfer in a targeted manner. Sending is no longer done in bulk, which relieves the network.What else does a layer 3 switch offer?The professional Layer 3 switches or even higher switches usually have management functions such as additional control options and monitoring tasks. These include, among other things:QoS ? Quality of Service is the use of mechanisms or technologies to control traffic and ensure the performance of critical applications with limited network capacity.VLAN ? Virtual Local Area Network combines individual groups of network participants and isolates the data traffic for each group. They subdivide a physical switch into multiple logical (virtual) switches.Port Mirroring - This refers to the forwarding of network traffic from a switch port directly to another port.Limitation of data transmission rates for individual ports The term portNetwork devices connect to a switch through the port. The port is the connection interface for the data cable and can be configured taking into account the network architecture, speed and functionality.Layer 3 switches are used in complex and branched networks.How can I use the management functions of my layer 3 switch?If you want to configure or control your network switch with management functions, this is possible depending on the manufacturer of the device as follows:via a command line (Telnet or SSH)via a web interfacevia special control software Modern network switches are designed in such a way that there are no data collisions when two or more network participants are sending at the same time. The speed and duplex mode can be negotiated independently at each port of a switch.What is the difference between switches and hubs?Not so long ago, hubs were widespread. These devices work according to a simple distribution principle and forward the received network traffic to all connected devices without exception. The addressing described above is not implemented in a hub. As the volume of data increased, this caused major problems with the speed of the networks and data transmission. As new computers were added to the network, the risk of transmission errors increased. The use of network switches eliminated these problems.Are switches and routers the same thing?While a switch is more functional than a hub, a router offers even more functionality. Routers are not only responsible for distributing data traffic to network participants. These also take over the communication between different networks with different architectures. The data and information are forwarded according to the parameters set by the administrator when configuring the router. By dividing forwarding addresses and filtering data packets, you can use a router to reduce the network load. It is possible to organize Internet access by combining Ethernet network and WAN connections. In this case, a router also takes on the role of a firewall and offers a certain level of data security. In this respect, any computer could take on the task of a router. A prerequisite for this would be an installed and specially configured routing software.What are the special features of industrial Ethernet switches?You will find industrial Ethernet switches at eibabo®. The network switches must be prepared for these special, specific requirements in industry and production. These industrial switches are designed for the specific different network connections in the industry:distribution of energyMonitoring and control of security functionsmany other uses What should I consider when buying a network switch?Here in the shop you can get numerous models, which differ in functionality as well as in price. When choosing the right device, you should consider the following key features.transfer rateYou will typically find this information in the product descriptions of the switches. Multiple speeds are often specified. Concentrate on the highest value. This represents the maximum for this device. If data arrives at the switch at a lower rate than this maximum, it automatically adjusts to it. Current models operate at speeds of 10/20/100/200/1000/2000 Mbps (megabits per second). Consider the characteristics of your network and the devices it contains. Not all devices are able to send the highest transmission rates. NoticeAs a rule, other speeds (up to the specified maximum) can be set on each port of the switch. Just use your devices as a guide. number of portsWe currently offer network switches with up to 48 ports. When purchasing, please consider not only the number and performance of the current devices. Consider a future expansion of the network. Experience has shown that network switches with up to 16 ports are sufficient for use at home. In the commercial environment it can make sense to select the maximum available number of ports.installationYou get desk switches. These are compact, perfect for small networks and quick to install. Wall mount models are similar. These have mounting devices for vertical surfaces. Models are also available for installation in a standard 19-inch rack and for the DIN rail.management functionWe have already reported on the differences in the possibility of managing additional functions. Choose a model according to your ideas. Unmanaged switches are usually compact, inexpensive and sufficient for home networks. Managed switches are suitable for branched networks. However, their configuration requires special knowledge and experience.Image: Hager TN530 PoE switchPoE supportPoE (Power over Ethernet) is a convenient function and enables power to be supplied via the network cable. Additional power cables are not necessary. This does not affect the quality of the data transmission. Choose such a switch if you need to power devices directly through the network cable.SFP portsYou need a switch with these ports if you need to connect the device to other switches or parent devices. It is a standardized transceiver module that enables network connections with Gbit/s speeds.NoticeAn SFP is just a hot-swappable, small metal component. You must first install a transceiver module in it, which in turn will allow non-standard connections (for example, via fiber optics).energy saving functionIntelligent switches monitor the connected devices and detect inactive ports. These are temporarily put into sleep mode to save power.VLAN supportChoose a model with VLAN support if you want to group traffic and need a logical distinction between sections of the local network. The segmentation can be done according to your needs.stacking supportA stack is a network solution consisting of several stackable switches. These behave like a single device. The function is required if you need to provide more than 48 ports.Protection against attacksMany types of cyber attacks are aimed at overloading online services, servers or entire networks. Models with appropriate protection recognize overload attacks and switch off in good time so that the network remains stable.

Cable shears - It can be tricky to cut a strong or rigid cable with classic scissors, pliers or a utility knife. Save yourself the trouble and grab a high-quality and inexpensive cable cutter from the eibabo® shop. In the following article we describe the different models and support you in your purchase decision.With a good pair of cable cutters, you can cut your wires and cables to the right size. Depending on the requirements and thickness of the cable, different cable cutters are used. While in the do-it-yourself sector scissors are often sufficient for cables with a diameter of up to 16 mm, professionals in the industrial sector need tools with a higher cutting capacity. Here cables can have a diameter of 50 mm and more. Especially if you have a lot to do with electrical installations professionally, the use of good cable cutters is essential. This ensures a precise cut without squeezing the veins. Hydraulic cordless cable cutters are also available in the eibabo® shop for particularly demanding tasks. The high-quality tools are mainly designed for copper and aluminum cables. Please note that not every pair of scissors is suitable for cutting steel and steel wire.What do I use cable cutters for?Cable shears (also wire cutters) are used when electrical wires and cables need to be cut cleanly. Depending on the task, the insulation or the wire should not be damaged. Cable cutters are suitable for use in new installations as well as for maintenance work and repairs to electrical installations.Image: Klauke K 106/2 cable shearsWhat are the advantages of a cable cutter?Cable cutters are designed to properly cut wire or cable. It is important to avoid or minimize damage to the insulation or the inner conductor of a wire. A clean cut makes further work easier and increases the subsequent quality of an electrical connection. If unsuitable tools are used, there is a risk of damage, cracks and cuts in the insulation as well as unclean cut edges. This can affect the reliability of an insulation. If the inner conductor is damaged, its conductivity may be disrupted or the strength of a connection cannot be guaranteed. Cable shears therefore have specially shaped cutting jaws, which are optimized for the respective task. This largely prevents slipping or accidental damage during the cut.In addition, manufacturers are beginning to expand the functionality of the cable shears for other electrical installation applications. The tools are not only used for cutting, but also for stripping or crimping ferrules. A multi-tool increases productivity and saves weight in the tool belt.With which core cross-sections or cable strengths do cable cutters work?Each cable cutter is designed for use within a specific material thickness range. Some are designed in such a way that they can be used particularly well for fine-wire cables. Others are optimized for solid conductors. In the eibabo® shop you can get cable cutters that can process cable diameters of over 100 mm or cable cross-sections of over 3,000 mm². TIP:Pay attention to the type of conductor material that cable snips or wire cutters are designed for. A wire is not always made of copper or aluminum. There are suitable tools for cutting special conductor materials. Please refer to the product description or the data sheet for the tool.How do the cable cutters differ from each other?Cable shears and wire cutters in our range are divided into:hand toolsHand tools with ratchet functionbattery powered hydraulic tools Each of these types differs significantly from the others and offers individual advantages. The simplest models are the classic hand tools. Hand-operated cable shears cut cables, lines and wires by squeezing the cutting jaws once. Ratcheting models cut through thicker cables. If it is difficult or impossible to separate with one hand, you may have to start several times. Ratchet tools are ideal for this. The cutting blade remains in position after the first 'stroke' and holds the uncut cable. The handle opens again and you can start the second (or third...) 'stroke' until the material is severed. The battery-powered hydraulic tools are used for particularly demanding tasks. These devices generate enormous force and can also cut through cables with steel wire sheathing, for example. Their area of application is in the professional, industrial environment. Hydraulic support is usually not required for domestic use.What are the advantages of ratchet shears?Whether a cable cutter with a ratchet is advantageous for you depends on your individual requirements. Are you a hobbyist who occasionally cuts through standard cables in your free time? Then you probably don't need ratcheting shears. However, if you have to work regularly with a lot of strong cables for work or other reasons, using a cable cutter with a ratchet can offer some advantages. The biggest advantage lies in the fact that it makes work easier when there are many cuts through solid cables or wires. Less effort is required and you don't get tired as quickly. A cable cutter with a ratchet also ensures a clean cut, as it can cut through massive cross-sections and diameters without readjustment. Attempting to cut very thick cables with a pair of simple cable cutters would likely require multiple attempts. This would result in damage to the insulation and the inner conductors.Notice:Ratchet shears are not designed for very thin cables and wires. Due to the more complex cutting technology, the weight is slightly higher and handling is more cumbersome than with simple hand tools.In these cases, we recommend using a simple hand tool. Experience has shown that this works faster and more precisely.How do I choose the right cable shears?The selection of the optimal cable shears is mainly influenced by two things - the type of material to be cut and its thickness. There are cable cutters that process smaller diameters. Others are better suited for larger diameters. Once you have decided on a material thickness, choose a simple model, a corresponding tool with a ratchet function or a multi-function tool. TIP:Daily use of a cable cutter inevitably leads to wear and tear. In order not to have to buy a completely new tool, there are replacement cutting heads for some models. With this information, you should be able to choose a tool that suits your needs.Who makes the best cable cutters?The market leaders in the field of cable cutting technology include, for example, Cimco, Klauke and Knipex. But ABB, Erico, Intercable, Phoenix, WAGO, Weidmüller and Wiha also produce high-quality tools. You can find cable cutters from these manufacturers in this catalog from the eibabo® shop at top conditions.

Network router - Network Routers for use in data and telecommunication can be bought from eibabo in high-quality designs for residential and industrial applications. You will also find Ethernet hybrid adapters, and wireless LAN routers, among other things, also industrial routers and mobile industry routers, routers with SD card slot, and network routers with GSM / CSD / GPRS / EDGE module. Network routers are network devices with which you can forward data packets in networks between several computer networks. The data packets are between 64 and 1518 bytes long. The first six bytes encode the destination address, while the last four bytes contain a CRC checksum. The routed data packets then arrive either directly in the target network or at another router, which is also responsible for forwarding data packets. Network routers can, for example, be used for Internet connection, for safe coupling of several locations or for direct coupling of several local network segments. Routers can usually be configured for use in different network technologies (Ethernet, DSL, PPPoE, ISDN, ATM, etc.). When forwarding data packets, network routers make the routing decision based on information from network layer 3. Many routers are able to translate IP addresses (Network Address Translation, Port Address Translation, NAT / PAT) or to fulfill firewall functions.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Data and telecommunication > Network router you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Active network componentADSL routerATM routerBridgeDial up connectionDSL routerEthernet bridgeEthernet remoteEthernet routersFast Ethernet routersFirewallInternet gatewayISDN routerLeast cost routingModular routerMultiprotocol routerNetwork routerNetwork routersRemote access serversRemote bridgeRemote bridge routersRigid connectionRoutersSDSL routerSwitched lineVDSL routerWAN moduleXDSL routerfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Network router:AVM ComputersystemeDLinkHelmholzHirschmannInsysLANCOM SystemsPhoenixSiemensStrongTelestarTelevesWachendorffWeidmüllerWieland

Tactile sensor - Smart, individual, simple, extravagant, futuristic - touch sensors, also known as KNX buttons, like to attract admiring glances and their modern design alone suggests to every user that this is more than a conventional light switch. Rockers, glowing LEDs, small symbols or even LCD displays give an idea of the numerous functions hidden behind many an installation. In addition, there is often a very noble selection of materials such as high-quality metal, acrylic or glass, which always exudes a touch of extravagance. But why are multifunctional touch sensors needed and how do you use their potential optimally? We give you a brief insight here.The basics in a nutshellTouch sensors are multifunctional control elements for the smart home.The design and function selection is huge, from a single button to a control center with 12 or more buttons, everything is possible.You can use it to control, for example, the light, its dimming, blinds, heating, entertainment center, door opener and all other devices in your home network.The button functions can be assigned individually and can be easily reprogrammed if necessary.Integrated LEDs or other displays often show the respective operating status or provide information about errors. What is a touch sensor or a KNX button?You can operate the end devices integrated in your smart home network with a touch sensor or a KNX button. This can be blinds that you can raise and lower - light that you dim - the heating that you regulate or completely individual, user-defined scenarios. Depending on the model, operation is optically individual. In general, it is operated using a different number of buttons or rocker switches and/or even displays.The different types of KNX buttonsUsing a KNX universal button interface, you can basically turn any conventional button into a KNX button. These interfaces are installed in a deep device box behind the standard button and thus take on the task of the binary input, which converts the classic switching processes into KNX signals.Which doses are suitable?To do this, use a branch switch box with 4 screw domes or a deep switch box or an electronics box. Use our eibabo® search to quickly find the right item.This solution is particularly suitable for the standard application 'basic lighting' per room (see: 'What are standard applications?') or for the modernization of existing installations as well as for inexpensive and functionally manageable system extensions.'Real' KNX tactile sensors are much more complex and range up to control elements with elegant touch displays. Temperature sensors, LED displays and background lighting are often already combined in one device. In contrast to the simple interface variant, there is often the option of providing each key with additional functions, which are then triggered, for example, by a long press, double-click or even triple-click. TIP:We recommend planning well in advance so that you can later fit all the functions you need into your keypad. While some KNX push-button sensors require a separate bus coupler to which they are plugged, the bus coupler is already integrated in others. The eibabo® technology store also has both complete KNX pushbuttons and pushbutton sensor modules. The latter is 'only' about the technology and you can choose a matching design cover yourself. The possibilities are diverse - you can choose exactly what suits your project.The advantages and disadvantages of tactile sensorsThe central control of a large number of actions on different end devices is certainly the greatest advantage. The plus in comfort is combined with the flexible options for changing and expanding a well-planned setup. The disadvantage is certainly the slightly higher acquisition costs of a smart home solution compared to a conventional electrical installation. In the case of units with many keys and each assignment with different control variables (print, double-click), the overview of all the functions and their control can easily be lost.Unusual application examples in everyday lifeWe have already mentioned a few classic use cases. In the course of our more than 25 years of work, we have also been able to implement 'very special' projects. It starts with the smart opening and locking of the cat flap in the basement, continues with the choreographed lighting of exterior facades and doesn't end with the automatic pool cover, the fully automated aquarium or the heated driveway in winter. You want to know more? We answer frequently asked questions.Nobody knows everything and sometimes there are small ambiguities that prevent us from correctly grasping connections or from deciding on one or the other product. You may also find an answer to your question in the following topics.How are the KNX devices programmed?Many interested parties are quickly startled by the term 'programming', but it's not that difficult at all, because it's not actually programmed with the 'ETS', but assignments and parameterizations are carried out.What does ETS mean for KNX?The term ETS (Engineering Tool Software) means that it is programming software for commissioning the KNX devices. The tool is more of a software for parameterization and basically also suitable for laypersons with an interest in the logic of the KNX.No programming knowledge or programming language is required. If you are interested in the rather simple logical connections of the KNX bus, you are in a position to create a project. Of course, more complex projects require a certain amount of experience. We always recommend having the basic project created by an experienced system integrator. This allows you to easily change important parameters yourself later on, since many things change in the life cycle.Which touch sensor or KNX button should I buy?Well, we can't give a general answer to this question, but we can perhaps provide some impetus for decision-making. KNX push button sensors are available in a variety of designs. The manufacturers offer solutions for every taste. However, you should not only be guided by the optics. In addition to the optics, eibabo® also recommends checking the applications (parameters and functions) provided by the manufacturer for the ETS (Engineering Tool Software). Significant deficits can open up here in the course of a project if the beautiful button were not able to control the necessary actions correctly. Plan exactly which requirements you place on the respective push button sensor and then select a suitable model accordingly. NOTE:ETS is standardized software for commissioning the KNX devices and can be obtained from www.knx.org. With regard to the design, you should also rely on optics that have a positive effect in the long term and not follow every short-term trend, only to realize a few years later that the brightly colored displays and the LEDs for various status messages on the buttons in the wall were a bit too much of a good thing. It makes sense to ensure that displays can be dimmed or configured in different brightness levels and status LEDs can be configured and switched off. A timeless surface design, for example, has simple elegance, looks classy, is durable and has no playful rockers that could quickly gather dust.How do I recognize whether a touch sensor already has a bus connection?Some touch sensors already have a bus connection. If you're not sure, a look at the back will clarify.Image: KNX push button sensor - Jung 4047TSMA touch sensor is equipped with a bus coupling if it has a black and red (or gray and red) terminal for the bus on its back. This 4-wire terminal with plug-in terminal connection serves as a distributor for up to four KNX lines.How do I keep track of the individual functions of complex touch sensors?We would like to encourage you to think: Imagine you come into a room and have to press the small second rocker from the top left on an 8-way pushbutton sensor every day to switch on the basic lighting. It can quickly happen that you accidentally set the pressure point on the adjacent rocker and unfortunately operate the blinds at 11:00 p.m. Not to mention how a guest or child is supposed to cope with it.So it can indeed be a bit difficult to always steer correctly. But: The advantages of the KNX lie in the intelligence of the system, which is implemented by the system integrator based on their experience and your functional requirements. For this reason, you should arrange functions logically or thematically and, if necessary, group them on easy-to-use buttons. If necessary, it is advisable to divide standard applications and detailed circuits into different buttons at different mounting heights.What are default applications? What is the best way to implement this into the system?The first switch box is usually placed on the 1.05m upper edge of the finished floor. At this point you should mount a conventional double button and connect it twice to the bus via a very inexpensive KNX button interface. Of course, you can also mount 2 or 3 double buttons and integrate a 4-way or 6-way KNX button interface. A deep switch box or electronics box is installed as a flush-mounted box in order to be able to place the small button interface behind the double button.Here you save!Combine a KNX button interface with a conventional double button.With the conventional double button, you have more choice in the design of the switch range and, in the event of defects or design changes, you can obtain a lifetime replacement without having to reprogram. You can assign the most important and most frequently used basic lighting to this button or parameterize the button or the button interface with light scene recall. A beautiful flat switch is also very easy to use for guests and children.What is meant by detailed switching on the KNX button?You should mount detailed circuits of the certainly many functions in a room on the 1.60m upper edge of the finished floor and call them up from a room controller or multiple push-button sensor with an optionally integrated room temperature controller (see also our multiple control unit catalogue). A room temperature controller already requires this mounting height for optimal control. At this user-friendly height, you can then carry out all additional controls for additional lighting, blinds, roller shutters, entertainment, etc.Touch sensors wear out very quickly! Is that correct?Like all other technical components that are used more or less every day, tactile sensors and control points in general are subject to a certain amount of wear and tear. However, this is no different than with conventional buttons or switches. It is possible that individual parts that have been in use for a decade are then worn out.Does it make sense to control the heating using touch sensors?Definitely, as a rule, individual room heating controls are also required for KNX installations. In terms of value for money, the combined buttons with room temperature controllers are the best choice, also in terms of user-friendliness.Which manufacturer offers the most beautiful and best KNX buttons?Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we won't take a position on that. In terms of quality, however, all brands perform very well. There is no such thing as the 'best' touch sensor. Each manufacturer has its individual strengths in terms of applications (parameters and functions). eibabo® offers switches from all brand manufacturers (from ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Gira, Hager, Jung, MDT, Merten to Siemens).
