INKNXUNI001I200 – Universal IR gateway to KNX TP with temperature and humidity sensor, 2 binary inputs, bus powered

INKNXUNI001I200 – universal IR gateway to KNX TP for air conditioners, with temperature and humidity sensor, 2 binary inputs, bus powered from KNX, ETS configuration.

The INKNXUNI001I200 by Intesis is a universal KNX TP gateway designed to integrate any air conditioner equipped with an infrared (IR) remote control into KNX building automation systems. It provides bidirectional communication between the AC indoor unit and the KNX network, enabling full control and monitoring of HVAC functions such as On/Off, operating mode, fan speed, temperature setpoint, and louver position.

The gateway is compatible with virtually any IR-controlled air conditioner thanks to its Autolearn function, which automatically recognizes IR codes from the AC remote controller. Configuration is performed via ETS (Engineering Tool Software) using the DCA – Device Configuration App, ensuring quick commissioning and reliable operation. The built-in temperature and humidity sensor allows real-time measurement and transmission of ambient values to KNX, enabling precise climate control and automation scenarios.

The INKNXUNI001I200 includes two binary inputs for connecting external sensors such as motion detectors, window contacts, or pulse outputs (S0). With KNX Data Secure support, all communication is encrypted and fully protected from unauthorized access. The device is bus-powered from KNX (29 VDC), requiring no additional power supply. A USB Type-C port allows fast configuration and firmware updates directly from a PC.

The gateway supports the Parrot Mode, helping installers optimize its placement relative to the air-conditioning unit for best IR signal coverage. Up to 10 KNX scenes can be stored and activated (e.g., comfort, night, or energy-saving modes). Its compact and modern design makes it ideal for residential, hospitality, and office applications. The interface is fully KNX certified and developed for HVAC integrators requiring a flexible and manufacturer-independent solution.
