When combined with the Gira DCS IP gateway, the Gira G1 can also be used as a home station. The camera image automatically appears on the display when the doorbell rings. At the touch of a finger, communication can be initiated, the door opened, or the light switched on – all on the bright 9×16 cm multi-touch display, which provides particular convenience and clarity. The Gira G1 also enables many other functions to be controlled via the KNX system, for example lighting, blinds, and room temperature. The Gira G1 is the smart central operating unit, the all-rounder for all of the building technology.
