New interface EK-BW1-TP for connecting home speakers to a KNX system

Ekinex has developed a gateway with an interfacial function between a KNX net (TP, twisted pair) and the main echo dot on the market,

Thanks to the new interface EK-BW1-TP, that can be easily installed in a DIN-rail cabinet, it is possible to supplement a pre-existing KNX home automation system with Google voice control (Google Assistant) and Amazon (Alexa). In this way, owners of electrical installation based on the KNX standard will be able to use their own home speaker in order to control all the functions of their home: lighting (on/off, dimmed and RGB), motors (open/close stop and position) and climate control.

The addition of the gateway for Ekinex’s voice control to a KNX electric system is quick and user-friendly: the installer through the web interface can directly import the .knxproj project and proceed with the association of KNX group addresses with compatible object categories. Via Google home app or Alexa controls on Amazon Echo and compatible products, it is possible to create scenes and automations, skills or routines to simplify your daily routines.
