Gira KNX extensions

Imagine your living room lights dim, the blinds lower, the heating brings the room to a cosy temperature, and relaxing music begins to play from your Sonos speakers – all without you lifting a finger. All that’s left for you to do is lean back and enjoy. The perfect setup for a relaxing evening. All you need: the Gira X1 server. 

This server links multiple devices in a KNX system, allowing their functions to be conveniently combined. For instance, you can create complete scenes directly from your smartphone or integrate third-party components into your Gira system.

Smart music control with Sonos and sonoro


You can also integrate your audio equipment into the KNX system. Use Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay or Chromecast to stream music wirelessly in top quality. The Hi-Res Audio internet receiver Maestro Quantum from sonoro even includes a turntable input for vinyl lovers. 
The Gira Smart Home app doesn’t just control volume such as that of your Sonos speakers but also lets you skip tracks, manage personal playlists and access a wide range of streaming services including Spotify, Amazon Music and Tidal. 

Wireless heating control with tado° 


A logic module within the Gira X1 server allows for easy integration of smart thermostats for heating control. This extends the KNX system’s capabilities with intelligent, geofencing-enabled heating – no need for new wiring or radiator replacements. Quick, future-proof and energy efficient. Also ideal for retrofitting.
