The Gira presence detector mini for KNX supports automatic control of functions within the KNX system. It uses passive infrared (PIR) technology and detects changes in heat radiation in the room to determine whether someone is present. Depending on the configuration, different applications are possible: 

Common features of the Standard and Komfort variants 

• Reliably detects presence and movement, and distinguishes whether someone has just entered the room or is staying for longer 

• Automatically controls lighting, always based on whether people are present and the level of ambient light 

• Can be integrated into scenes in the KNX system, making it flexible to use in different living situations

• Includes day/night switching, allowing different settings for different times of day 

• Supports manual operation, with automatic control reactivating automatically after a defined period 

• Includes lock functions to selectively disable automatic processes when needed 

• Gives a warning before dimmable lighting is switched off completely 

• Provides secure communication in the Smart Home thanks to KNX Secure 

Exclusive features of the Komfort variant:  

• Detects presence – and movement in the room – even more precisely thanks to three PIR sensors. It can even register mouse movements on a desk. 

• Includes an integrated orientation light for subtle basic lighting 

• Can also measure humidity in the room and calculate the dew point – as a basis for climate-related automations 

• Includes RGB status LEDs to indicate operating states such as lock functions or active scenes 

• Offers advanced logic and function modules, enabling customised automations with multiple conditions and dependencies 

Automated processes in Smart Homes provide more comfort and energy efficiency because they adapt to actual occupancy. The Gira presence detector mini for KNX is suitable for many areas of the home and enables intuitive use. 

Living rooms and other frequently used spaces 

The lights switch on automatically as soon as the room is entered and adjust to the available brightness. Even during longer stays, for example when reading or watching TV, the lighting remains reliably active. 

Hallways and entryways 
When entering the house or walking through hallways, the lighting is activated automatically and switched off again when everyone has left. This increases everyday comfort and helps save energy.

Bathrooms and guest toilets 
The presence detector responds even to small movements, making it particularly suitable for rooms where you stay for longer periods but move very little. The lights remain on as long as the room is in use. 

Bedrooms 
During the night, the presence detector can activate subtle lighting or an orientation light, for example to guide you to the bathroom, without fully lighting up the room. 

Integration into Smart Home scenes 
The presence detector can be integrated into automated processes as part of Smart Home scenes. Within a scene, multiple functions can be controlled centrally and coordinated with one another. For example, when a TV scene is activated, the presence detector mini can be deactivated while the heating is switched on, the shading is lowered, and indirect lighting is turned on. The scene itself is triggered via a separate control device such as a wall-mounted pushbutton sensor, ensuring coordinated use of different functions in the room. 

Thanks to its compact design, the Gira presence detector mini for KNX blends discreetly into a wide range of living environments. Its understated design allows unobtrusive integration into the ceiling. Planning, configuration and commissioning are carried out by a qualified specialist. It is available in white and black and suits both light and darker interior concepts. 

For installation, up to three mounting options are available: 

• Clamp mounting: Ideal for suspended ceilings. The presence detector is inserted into a small ceiling opening and secured in place. 

• Flush mounting: For a particularly flush finish in the ceiling. The presence detector is installed in a suitable device box and covered neatly. 

• Surface mounting: Suitable for ceilings without an installation cavity. The presence detector is installed in a surface-mounted housing and remains visually discreet.
