Manage user scenarios including lighting, thermoregulation and curtain automation

The Client, a leading Italian manufacturer, wanted to build new executive offices and showrooms, equipped with technologically advanced systems that are easily scalable in the future , without neglecting maintenance over time.  Room automation is achieved using KNX ekinex devices, with particular attention being paid to climatic, visual and acoustic comfort guaranteeing a significant share of natural light.

 

 

Ekinex products have been chosen for the environment automation:

• Lighting control and dimming, through the FF EK-ED2-TP series keypads with Form frame and implemented via 16-channel EK-FF1-TP actuators and Dali lamp interface with DALI-KNX EK-BP1-TP gateway.
• Automatic lighting control (baths / anti-bathrooms) and air extractors (bathrooms) depending on the presence of the EK-SM2-TP sensors.
• Individual thermoregulation for each room or area with fan coil and radiant floor terminals with the help of a thermostat equipped with EK-EQ2-TP temperature and relative humidity sensors and EK-HC1-TP fan coil actuator modules.
• Individual control and groups of blinds (curtains) using EK-FE1-TP actuators.
• Interfacing with variable refrigerant flow (VRV-VRF) through Modubus / KNX EK-BH1-TP gateways.

The Ekinex DELEGO supervision system was also integrated to control the system using the smartphone app , with which it is possible to adjust the temperature control through weekly time slots .

The supervisor is also used to manage the user scenarios including lighting, thermoregulation and curtain automation .
