Mini Comfort - KNX Presence Detector
The Gira KNX Mini Comfort presence detector has been extended to include an integrated temperature sensor. This means that it can not only regulate the light depending on the persons present in the room, but can also measure the current room temperature itself and activate switching commands. This means less energy wasted.
With a subtle design, it is unobtrusive. Available in flush-mounted and surface-mounted installations, it can be retrofitted anywhere.
Features of the Mini Comfort Presence Detector include:
- Integrated temperature sensor
- Intelligent assembly concept for installation, flush-mounted boxes and surface-mounted boxes
- Maximum detection quality, even with the smallest movement
- Large detection range (diameter approx. 12 m with 3 m installation height
- Low installation height (1.25 mm to the ceiling on the design ring)
- Also suitable for outdoor use via IP44
- Available from May 2020
Gira Cube Motion Sensor
The modern design of the new Gira Cube Motion Sensor means it will work with both new and old architectural designs. It is suitable to be used inside or outside making it a versatile and visually striking option for motion sensing.
The sensor monitors your property and automatically switches on the light depending on thermal motion and ambient brightness, not just on movement. A gust of wind won’t switch it on, providing energy saving benefits.
Features include:
- Automatically switches lighting on/off, depending on thermal motion and ambient brightness
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor ceiling mounting and wall installation
- Available as a KNX version
- Easy assembly steps with flexible connection and assembly without tools
- Detection ranges selectable up to 120 or 240 degrees
- Maximum range 16 m. Non-visible covering panel for limiting the detection range.
- Available now
KNX Switching and Blind Actuator
The new KNX actuators are available in a Standard and a Comfort version for the first time.
The Standard version is particularly suitable for residential buildings when used with the Gira X1, and for commercial installations that require a large number of actuators with only basic functions. The focus here is on quick start-up and an economic channel price.
The Comfort version, on the other hand, is characterised by a maximum of functionality and flexibility with a range of new logic and functions to suit even the most complicated project.
Features of the new actuators include:
- 6, 16, 24 gang options
- Firmware upgradable and KNX Secure
- Configure as individual relays and pairs for blinds
- No Labels, all markings laser inscribed.
- Terminals top and bottom of product to reduce width
- Available August 2020

The Gira System 106 door intercom systems can be individually configured, adjusted to many different outer façades, or used as a design highlight.
Available from September 2020 in two new sleek, modern colours: scratch-resistant, bronze stainless steel and matte black.
