INKNXHIS001R000 – Hisense VRF to KNX Interface + I/Os

INKNXHIS001R000 – Hisense VRF to KNX Interface + I/Os. 

The INKNXHIS001R000 interface enables seamless and fully bidirectional communication between Hisense VRF air conditioning systems and KNX-based home and building automation systems. It offers not only standard integration features but also enhanced energy efficiency through four additional potential-free binary inputs that can be connected to devices such as window contacts or motion detectors. These inputs trigger internal logics to manage AC behavior intelligently, contributing to cost savings and smart control.

Designed for direct connection to an indoor AC unit, this interface offers precise control over key HVAC functions, including operating mode, fan speed, temperature setpoint, and allows access to internal parameters such as error codes, alarms, or runtime counters. The KNX module also supports the simultaneous use of the original remote controller alongside KNX commands, ensuring flexibility in both residential and commercial environments.

Configuration is performed using the ETS standard KNX tool, making the commissioning process fast and transparent for integrators familiar with KNX environments. Despite its small size, the module delivers extensive control functionality, including advanced energy efficiency features like “timeout”, “open window detection”, and “occupancy-based control”. These logics help reduce HVAC operational costs by preventing unnecessary cooling or heating.

Key Features:

• Full integration of Hisense VRF indoor units with KNX systems
• 4 digital inputs for window contact, presence sensor, or switch integration
• ETS-compatible for easy setup via standard KNX commissioning software
• Compact size allows installation directly inside the AC indoor unit
• DPT compatibility for integration with any KNX thermostat on the market
• Energy-saving logics: timeout, open window detection, occupancy
• Simultaneous KNX and IR remote control of the unit
• Monitoring of internal AC variables: errors, alarms, runtime counters
• Up to 5 custom scenes can be stored and triggered via KNX
• Reliable and stable communication between both systems

By using the room temperature sensor of the KNX thermostat, the interface supports direct climate management through the building automation system without relying on additional controllers. This improves thermal comfort and responsiveness while maintaining a clean integration footprint.

Thanks to its industrial-grade build quality and 36-month warranty, INKNXHIS001R000 is a future-proof solution for any building project requiring professional integration of Hisense systems into KNX infrastructures – from hotels and office buildings to smart homes and public facilities.

Warranty: 36 months
