New Intesis gateway enhances DALI-2 and KNX integration for smart buildings

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Intesis DALI-2 to KNX TP PRO Gateway. This innovative multi-master application controller brings unparalleled interoperability between DALI-2 lighting systems and KNX automation, allowing for comprehensive control, monitoring, and customization.

Designed to streamline building automation, the new Intesis gateway integrates DALI-2 ballasts and KNX systems, offering features like switching, dimming, color control, and emergency lighting management. It supports up to 64 Electronic Control Gears (ECGs) along with 8 DALI-2 motion detectors or light sensors, enabling group and individual control across 16 configurable groups.

Enhanced security features, including KNX Data Secure, ensure encrypted communication, while IoT compatibility prepares any building for the future of smart automation. Additionally, the Intesis gateway’s advanced Human-Centric Lighting (HCL) supports color control options such as RGBW and tunable white, creating a lighting environment optimized for occupant wellness and comfort.

With a built-in DALI power supply, flexible input support for various devices, and configuration options via ETS+DCA, web interface, or directly on the device, the installation is simpler than ever. As a fully certified DALI-2 and KNX solution, the Intesis DALI-2 to KNX TP PRO Gateway empowers building managers and users to elevate their automation systems with versatile lighting control and seamless integration.
