Easily control your lights (including light scenes), blinds and heating system (HVAC) with your device and access your on-site weather data. All you need is the free iKNiX 2 App and our KNiX Port, an Ethernet to KNX/EIB gateway available at www.iknix.com. Easy and fast set-up is a key feature of our iKNiX 2 App. That’s why the entire configuration is done online at www.iknix.com where you can register for free and create a new project. Rooms (we call them ‘zones’) that you want to control can be added to the project. Then you create one or many profiles which can be downloaded via email-notification to the iKNiX 2 App. You can generate as many profiles as you like, for example ‘Owner’, ‘Kids’, ‘Guest’ or even for different houses! You can easily change settings and never have to fiddle with the iPad to enter any data – just use your created project and profiles! The new “proServ” Controller is the worldwide first device that allows the configuration of the user interface only with ETS. No Editor or additional configuration file is necessary. The configuration data are stored locally on the proServ Controller and are read directly by the App. New features: - sort zones and activities by drag and drop - add global and/or local favorites - support of iBeacons for zone and/or light scene selection - skin selection by RGB-Color-Picker - control in Portrait-Mode - improved connectivity for “proServ”, V2 and V3 - multi “proServ” support Our “proServ” now supports timers, data logging and email notifications when used with our free of charge Synology extension. This software runs on all Synology NAS drives. With the help of ISE RemoteAccess, it is possible to control your home while travelling. Different users can now be authorised or blocked again. The generated access key is stored in “proServ” via the ETS. As soon as the iKNiX 2 App is updated, the installation can be controlled and queried remotely with the authorised rights.
