KNX & enOcean

xxter can be used with KNX as well as with enOcean, which are widely used standards within the home automation. KNX is used as a wired system and enOcean wirelessly. The combination of these two standards allows xxter to be used not only in new buildings and renovation projects, but also in existing installations by simply replacing some components.

In addition, xxter can be used as a bridge between both protocols. Use a wireless enOcean sensor on places that can not be reached easily and combine these with a KNX installation. xxter is bi-directional and can learn an unlimited amount of enOcean components.

Security

xxter supports extensive security options to protect your security and privacy. All communication between the app and the home installation is encrypted and always requires username and password. The end user can also protect pages with a pin code or Touch ID. Additionally end users can set up local users with access rights to shield certain parts of the home installation or allow them access only to specific parts.

Installers have the option to create separate employee logins to allow them to manage specific projects only. This way you have complete control with xxter who has access to what and under which circumstances.

Updates and more

Apart from the features described in this product sheet, there are many more possibilities. Because the software in the xxter device and the apps can be updated with an easy push on a button, the xxter development team can easily add new features to the product. Enhancements and new possibilities are therefore made available on a regular basis.

We strive to make xxter as easy to use as possible for the end user as well as the installer. To achieve this we also deliver several unique possibilities, like our free dynamic DNS service or the extensive security measures built in, without the user ever noticing it.

Professional support

xxter installers can always count on experienced, fluent English speaking support. Apart from the support over the phone you can always visit us on the Internet through our website for extensive English manuals, information and personal advice. On the website you will also find our forum where users, installers and our employees exchange their experiences and tips to make sure you get the most out of your xxter. Thanks to our own development team you can always be sure of get the latest improvements and new features.

Scripts and actions

With xxter scripts you can make your smart home even smarter. Create your own small programs and logic modules within xxter, which are very flexible to use. Create sequences for your RGB/Color lights, display texts in the visualization based on parameters from the home installation or perform actions based on specific restrictions. Using calculations, conversions and equations on values allows you to achieve complex functionality in an easy way, which would not be possible without xxter. With the extensive logbook function you can verify exactly what happens in an action or script to verify it is functioning properly.

• Flexible and usable from scenarios, schedulers, triggers or other scripts
• Create all possible logical functions
• Also usable for sequences and fades
• Extensive logbook function available
• Endless possibilities, separate manual available with explanation of the commands

DMX support

ArtNet is used to directly control DMX leds and other lighting. Artnet is a worldwide used protocol for controlling DMX equipment. With the use of ArtNet in xxter you can control DMX lights easily and use professional color lights in homes and businesses in an affordable and easy way. xxter can also serve as bridge between the different protocols. You can start a light show from DMX and automatically let KNX dim the room or include several DMX elements into a scenario together with KNX lighting.

• DMX control directly from xxter, through ArtNet
• The user can easily choose a color for their RGB leds
• No complex 0-10V actuators in combination with external LED-drivers required
• Also allows ArtNet input, for controlling xxter from a light control panel (used in cafes, clubs and studios)

Easy to install

The installation and configuration of xxter is simple. The configuration is done through a web browser and is easy to use. For specific situations we have several short manuals available. For the end user, the app is currently available in seven different languages. The installer can import the group addresses of the KNX project directly from ETS in xxter. The entire project and the profiles are automatically stored on our secure servers to make sure they are always available where and whenever you might need them. Easy, fast and simple.

The xxter device itself is suited for DIN rail use and is 4 modules wide. The xxter device can be directly connected to the KNX bus and powered by either an extra power supply from the KNX bus, the supplied power plug adaptor or any other 5-36 VDC power supply.

If the Internet service provider does not supply a static external IP address, most systems can not be reached over the Internet. xxter has a simple and effective solution for this problem by supplying a free dynamic DNS service, which links the user’s internet connection to a hostname of your choice. The app automatically selects the correct connection for internal or external access. No need to select a different setting in the app when using the app from your office, in the car or from your home. This applies system wide, so also for cameras and intercom systems.

Satisfied customers

Because of the perfect harmony of hard- and software components, xxter delivers a great amount of additional functionalities and ease of use to an automated home. Because end users can adapt and customize parts of their installation themselves, they will get more involved with their automated home and use it to it's full potential. This will create satisfied customer, with an interest or more.
