In order for the home automation to be able to react appropriately to any situation in the rooms, the KNX system needs to gather information. For example, temperature sensors, air sensors, motion detectors or brightness sensors are used indoors. Even the push buttons and controllers that you can use to make individual settings, for example for light, heating or the shutters, essentially provide information to the KNX system. Information from window or door contacts is supplied via KNX Binary Inputs, and for outdoor areas, the weather station is the central source of information.

The innovative KNX products from MDT always offer true added value for you: Most of our push buttons are optionally available with a temperature sensor, meaning that you can record the room temperature directly with the push button. This saves you having to have an additional KNX component. The possibility to assign several functions to the push buttons, which can then be triggered by pressing once, twice or three times, reduces the number of components and gives you more options for controlling your smart home individually. In the case of push buttons with displays, you can adjust the colours and icons on your display so it fits right into your home. If you ever reconfigure something, the text is simply quickly altered in the ETS.

Controller and Sensors

In addition to actuators and sensors, each KNX system includes devices that carry out certain functions for the system as a whole. These are known as system components, and we have a whole series of them in our product range. They include the timer switch, which allows for time-dependent control of a wide range of devices such as your shutters. It has an integrated automatic holiday calculation to ensure that on public holidays your shutters are not raised at the time you usually get up.

Hacker attacks on smart buildings are increasing, and our range therefore includes products that protect your KNX system. The MDT Line Coupler and the MDT Safety Module protect your KNX system against unauthorised access. For example, the Line Coupler can connect the line for the outdoor area with the line for indoors, but can block control commands from outdoors. The MDT Safety Module prevents all connection-related access from the ETS, such as the programming and the unloading of the bus devices, in the KNX line. It is possible to deactivate the safety technology using the control buttons on the LED display and/or with the safety password via telegram.

System Devices

As a manufacturer, our range includes various products that you can use to control your smart home. In addition to control via push buttons or the central operation unit, you can also control the components in your smart home via a visualisation. In this case all data and control options are clearly displayed on an interface. The output medium can either be the MDT VisuControl Glass Touch Panel recessed into the wall, or an iOS device, if the MDT VisuControl Easy Object Server is used.

In addition to basic functions such as switching, dimming and shutters/roller shutters, you also have a wide range of scenes and diagram functions available.

Touchpanel

Our customers can incorporate individual graphics and images in order to design the individual screen pages. Comprehensive day/week/month/year switching functions and astro switching functions can be achieved with the integrated timer switch.

Measurements such as temperature, wind strength or any switching statuses can be recorded in the internal memory or directly on a USB/SD card (data logger). You can then export these recorded datasets and process them using an external application (e.g. Excel).
