If you’re considering retrofitting, modernizing


or upgrading a house, you’re probably
tempted by the benefits of a smart home.
But the cost and time of hard-wiring systems
may make you think twice.

Fortunately, there's a simple solution.


With coviva, you can transform existing
electrical installations into a smart home
without any construction work or cable
routing.

When it comes to home retrofitting, less is more.
Less cabling through the walls and less rebuilding work means
more convenience for you. And it’s all possible thanks to
coviva micromodules.

Micromodules are the first step towards a smart home.


Once installed behind existing switches or connection boxes, they communicate wirelessly to

The easy configuration server is at the heart of the system. It is connected to the KNX system and acts as
an intelligent partner during configuration. The easy configuration server forms the programming interface between
the KNX installation and you while you are performing the configuration work on a tablet. Central management.

The new easy actuators are equipped with all the functions that residential buildings need – whether
these involve switching lights on and off or dimming them, moving blinds, creating light scenes, or
adapting to wind and weather conditions. easy systems come complete with all the security and
comfort functions customers expect.

Visually speaking, the only way in which the easy


actuators differ is their light-grey operation buttons
– and inside the system, the easy functionality is
virtually the sole difference.
Whether customers want to switch lights on and
off and move blinds using combination actuators,
or dim state-of-the-art lighting using dim
actuators, easy actuators are capable of all this
and more.

The new flush-mounted switching outputs are


available as 1gang and 2gang switching outputs
(in two versions). The 1gang output can be used
for all types of lighting control – meaning not just
switching lights on and off, but time, override,
logic and scene functions too. With the 2gang
output, there is the option of controlling two
lighting circuits, a roller shutter/blind motor or a
fan (2-stage activation).

A new feature comes in the form of the actuators


that have been specifically developed for project
business, which accommodate a high number of
channels at an attractive price. In the 16gang and
20gang versions for lighting and blinds, as well
as the 12gang versions for blinds at 230 V, they

A place in the sun
The new easy actuators feature not only multifunctional binary outputs, but also specialist KNX blind
outputs. Together with the new GPS weather station, this makes it possible to create a variety of
comfort scenarios – including gradual roller shutter motions or blind slats that rotate in line with the sun.
This both creates a more comfortable atmosphere for users and reduces lighting and heating costs.

KNX weather station with GPS


The new weather station, featuring a GPS antenna, measures
precipitation, temperature, wind speed and the sun's position
with accuracy. Based on this information, convenient shade
and heat protection functions – such as position tracking
and sun tracking – can be configured for up to four building
facades.
This allows blinds to be used for cooling in summer and
sunlight to be used for heating in winter. It is also possible to
program a rain, frost and wind alarm, with 3 stages in each
case. The date, time and exact location coordinates are
received via the GPS signal, and the station switches from
summer to winter time automatically. The easy visualisation
concept allows advanced functions to be added, such as
set-point settings, process logic and timers. The weather
station is mounted horizontally on the outer wall, enabling the
sensors to detect sun, wind and rain without obstructions.

KNX blind outputs


Five easy actuators with an option of 4, 8 or – a new addition
– 12 outputs are available for activating roller shutter and
blind motors. The 12gang output can normally be used to
control any kind of shutters found in a small bungalow.
The 12gang output is supplied with 230 V. Depending on the
rated voltage of the roller shutter and blind motors, the 4gang
and 8gang outputs are available for either 230 V or a 24 V
extra-low voltage.

FRQŷJXUDWLRQ
KNX easy provides an intuitive means of configuring KNX systems. Just connect to the new easy
service tool wirelessly using a tablet – and from that point, everything practically runs itself.
Brilliantly simple.

Step 1:
Reading in
Once you have created a
new project, activate the
’Start discovery’ function. All
the KNX products installed in
the system, plus their inputs
and outputs, will now be read
in and listed according to their
number. The software distinguishes
between wired and radio products.
This allows you to check whether
all the installed devices have been
detected.

6.15
Step 2: Labelling
easy speaks in plain language – meaning no abbreviated
forms and no codes! You start by creating a simple name for
the building, then giving names to each individual room and
assigning the rooms to each floor. The next step is to label all
the KNX products with all the inputs and outputs. Once the
individual functions and their parameters have been defined,
the inputs and outputs are assigned to the rooms that have
been created.

Step 3: Linking
You now select the inputs and outputs you require using the
touchscreen function. You can simultaneously select multiple
inputs and outputs that you wish to link. A filter function
makes it possible to create quick and simple links for group
switching, for instance.
Once you have selected the channels to be linked, press the
’Link’ symbol.

Step 4: Function
The final step involves choosing the appropriate function.
You may want the button to switch the lighting on or off, for
example – but whatever the case, a whole range of KNX
functions is available for selection. Once you have selected
the function, operation can start immediately.

Configuration
ETS is the software used for the configuration of every KNX
solution. To configure the products, the computer has to be
plugged to the installation via a gateway.

The software includes many features, such as:


- easy and quick integration of wireless KNX products in the
installation
- user-friendly interface
- simple database
- possibility to track changes related to the project...

Benefits
- Efficient installation: ETS 5 configuration software has become
so simple and intuitive to use for a quick configuration
- A wide range of products to answer all type of projects
- Comfort as its best: possibility to set unlimited number of various
scenarios
- Safer installations: would any problem occur, it is possible to

KNX inputs,
outputs and system
components
With KNX, a building provides a significant contribution
to looking after itself: motion detectors activate lighting
as necessary. Windows and doors left open by accident
are signalled using magnetic contacts and can be closed
automatically. In addition, when the windows are open, the
heating/cooling system reduces output. Using the KNX
bus system, your house can learn to adapt to changed
environmental conditions.
