KNX switching and blind actuators

Available in standard and deluxe versions

Depending on the parameters set, the Gira KNX switching and blind actuator can be used in the Smart Home to switch lighting and other electronic devices, or to control blinds, shutters, awnings, and windows. The new Gira KNX switching/blind actuators are available in standard and deluxe versions. The standard version is particularly well suited to use in residential buildings in conjunction with the Gira X1, and in commercial systems where a large number of actuators with purely basic functions are required. In the deluxe version, many functions can be used directly in the actuator itself thanks to its comprehensive functionality. This saves time and reduces the burden on the bus.

  • A wide range of scene functions can be implemented (16 scenes for the standard version, 64 for the deluxe version).
  • Simple logics can be implemented even without a server.
  • Simplified DRA wiring concept with connection terminals on both sides of the housing.
  • Suitable for use in both private and commercial environments, thanks to high-quality screw terminals and relays.
  • Spacious terminal compartment with high-quality terminals (up to 4 mm² or 2×2.5 mm²).
  • Available for up to 24 channels.
  • Easy start-up, updates, and troubleshooting using the Gira ETS Service App.
  • Device electronics powered from the bus voltage for energy efficiency.

KNX switching/blind actuator updates

Regular software upgrades add many practical additional functions to make living in a KNX Smart Home even more comfortable. What’s more, the initital start-up is made even easier by additional options. The latest upgrade is available for all new KNX switching/blind actuators, and can also be downloaded to devices that are already installed.
