Technical details


The Helinx 8 KNX Smart Control Panel is a high-performance, industrial-grade HMI designed for advanced KNX installations. With full KNX System B support—including TP (Twisted Pair), RF (Radio Frequency), and IP protocols in a single integrated device—it eliminates the need for external gateways while enabling seamless interoperability across complex, distributed systems.

Engineered to handle large-scale deployments, Helinx 8 supports over 1,000 KNX datapoints, making it ideal for multi-zone residential, commercial, and hospitality environments. Its embedded architecture ensures stable, low-latency communication across all KNX media, providing reliable real-time control of lighting, HVAC, shading, security, and custom automation scenes.

The 8-inch high-resolution capacitive touchscreen delivers a responsive, intuitive user interface, while the IP65-rated front panel and Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability allow for flexible installation in demanding environments with reduced wiring complexity.

  • KNX System B Multi-Protocol Stack
    Native support for KNX TP, RF, and IP in a single device (no external couplers required)
  • High Datapoint Capacity
    Supports 1,000+ KNX group addresses for large-scale, high-density automation projects
  • Industrial-Grade Touch Interface
    8" capacitive touchscreen with high brightness and wide viewing angles for continuous operation
  • Embedded Processing Architecture
    Dedicated onboard processing ensures deterministic performance and low-latency KNX communication
  • Power over Ethernet (PoE)
    IEEE 802.3af compliant for simplified deployment and centralized power management
  • Robust Environmental Protection
    IP65-rated front panel for dust and water resistance, suitable for commercial and semi-outdoor use
  • Real-Time Control & Visualization
    Instant control of lighting, HVAC, blinds, security systems, and scene logic via KNX group communication
  • Flexible Integration
    Compatible with ETS configuration tools and standard KNX system architecture

Helinx 8 is purpose-built for system integrators and KNX professionals delivering high-end smart building solutions. It is particularly suited for luxury residences, commercial offices, and hospitality projects requiring:

  • Multi-protocol KNX integration without added hardware layers
  • Scalable system architecture with high datapoint density
  • Reliable, always-on control interfaces in demanding environments

Compared to alternatives such as Peaknx (Windows-based systems with higher power consumption and maintenance overhead) or Basalte (design-focused panels with limited KNX media support), Helinx 8 provides a more technically versatile, efficient, and deployment-friendly solution.
