Weather sensor with weather control unit for KNX
Description
Features
(from September 2026 for Gira One server V4.0 and GPA V6.2)
- The components of the weather station consisting of a weather sensor and a weather control unit cannot be used individually.
- The weather sensor has the following sensors:- Brightness from three directions (spaced 90° apart, compass directions: east, south, west)- Temperature- Wind speed- Precipitation sensor, with integrated heating
- Automatic visualisation of sensor information in the Gira Smart Home App.
- The weather sensor transmits the sensor values to the weather control unit, which evaluates the sensor information and sends it to the bus.
Function channels
- 2x wind alarms so that the connected blinds are raised and automatically locked when the alarm is active. The status of the wind alarm is monitored on a cyclical basis.
- 1x precipitation alarm so that the skylights or roof domes close immediately and are automatically locked when the alarm is active. The status of the alarm is monitored on a cyclical basis.
- 1x frost alarm so that active movements of shutters are stopped and locked when the alarm is active to protect the shutter motor. The status of the alarm is monitored on a cyclical basis.
- 4x sun protection for 4 façades with automatic sun protection function incl. evaluation delay, for reliable sun protection function. Separate activation/deactivation function in the Gira Smart Home App.
- 1x day/night function for switching between day/night mode incl. separate activation/deactivation function in the Gira Smart Home App.
- Automatic information in the event of communication faults between the weather sensor and the weather control unit.
Function in the Gira KNX system
- The components of the weather station consisting of a weather sensor and a weather control unit cannot be used individually.
- The weather sensor has the following sensors: - Brightness from three directions (at 90° intervals to each other, compass directions: east, south, west) - Temperature - Wind speed - Precipitation sensor, with integrated heating
- The weather sensor sends the sensor values to the weather control unit, which evaluates the sensor information and sends it to the KNX bus.
- The weather sensor can communicate with up to 20 weather control units (5147 00).
- 10 sensor channels for wind, precipitation, temperature and brightness. Logical AND/OR links can be created within the sensor channels to evaluate multiple sensor values together.
- Evaluation delay for all sensors to ensure reliable functionality.
- 8 sun protection channels for 8 facades with automatic sun protection function incl. evaluation delay to ensure a reliable sun protection function.
- 2 objects for external brightness sensors.
- Pre-defined day/night object for switchover between day/night mode incl. separate activation/deactivation function via the communication object.
- Communication object that provides information about any communication problems between the weather control unit and the weather sensor.
