Gira presence detector Mini for KNX

Compact design. Powerful functions.

The Gira presence detector Mini for KNX offers reliable and powerful presence, motion and environment detection in a particularly compact design. It is ideal for unobtrusive installations in residential and commercial buildings and enables energy-efficient, automated control of light, scenes and convenience features in the KNX system. Standard and Komfort variants are available.

  • Compact design for discreet ceiling installation 
  • Presence, motion and brightness detection for automated control functions
  • Two-stage motion evaluation to reduce false triggering
  • Needs-based lighting control without manual operation for secondary or functional rooms such as guest toilets.
  • Day/night-dependent configuration of numerous functions
  • Integrated temperature sensor as additional measuring point in the room
  • Heartbeat function for function monitoring
  • Flexible configuration possible in the KNX system
  • Compatible with KNX Secure

Gira presence detector Mini for KNX Standard – Functional. Compact. Attractively priced.

The Standard variant of the Gira presence detector Mini is an attractively priced solution that reliably performs classic automatic control tasks in the Smart Home. It detects motion, presence and ambient brightness and is ideal for automatic light and scene control in residential, office or commercial buildings, without the need for additional sensor technology.

  • A PIR sensor for accurate presence and motion detection
  • Brightness measurement with a limit value for automatic lighting control
  • Temperature sensor as an additional measuring point for better assessment of the room temperature situation
  • Temperature values can be visualised and further processed, for example, in the Gira Smart Home app or on the Gira G1
  • Two-stage motion evaluation to reduce false triggering
  • Day/night-dependent configuration
  • Heartbeat function for function monitoring

Gira presence detector Mini for KNX Komfort – Extended. Smart. Convenient.

The Komfort version offers all the functions of the Standard version along with additional sensors and operating values for extended function options. Three PIR sensors enable differentiated detection and higher detection accuracy. In addition, an integrated orientation light offers comfort at dusk, while a humidity sensor provides additional ambient data. An RGB status LED provides visual feedback on detection and system states.

  • Three PIR sensors for improved detection quality and presence differentiation
  • Integrated orientation light for safe movement around the room
  • Integrated humidity sensor to determine the room humidity (visualisation option in the Gira Smart Home app)
  • Dew point determination for early detection of condensation risks
  • Temperature sensor as an additional measuring point for more accurate assessment of the room temperature situation
  • RGB status LED for visualisation of states and events
    (red flashing for doorbell or alarm, pink display for blocked presence detector, e.g. during a cinema scene etc.)
  • Three brightness limits for finer automation logic
  • Two-stage motion assessment
  • Extensive day/night configuration
  • Heartbeat function for monitoring via server or building management

Integrated temperature sensor

Via the integrated temperature sensor and in combination with a KNX heating actuator with integrated controller, the Gira presence detector Mini for KNX can additionally control the room temperature. With several temperature sensors in the room, the additional measuring point on the ceiling also enables temperatures to be measured even more accurately.

Two-stage motion assessment

Both variants of the Gira presence detector Mini for KNX distinguish between an initial detection phase and a presence phase. During the initial detection phase, the sensor operates with reduced sensitivity to prevent false triggering. If sufficient movement is detected, the presence detector automatically switches to the presence phase with very high sensitivity, so that even the smallest movements are reliably detected. This two-stage process significantly increases detection quality and reduces unwanted switching operations.

Day/night switchover

A wide range of parameters can be set separately for day and night – in both the Standard and Komfort variants. For example, the Gira presence detector Mini can activate lighting at 100% brightness throughout the day and at only 20% at night. This increases comfort, reduces glare and saves energy.

Daylight-dependent lighting control

An integrated brightness sensor enables daylight-dependent control. Light functions can thus be triggered automatically depending on the current ambient light. In the Komfort variant, multiple brightness limits are available for differentiated logic functions.

Heartbeat function

Both variants regularly send a sign of life (known as a heartbeat) in the KNX system. If this signal is not present, a server or a building management system can trigger an alarm, for example to inform the facility manager that the presence detector should be checked. This function is of particular relevance for commercial and public buildings.

Assembly & installation

The Gira presence detector Mini for KNX can be installed flexibly. As standard, products are shipped in the ‘ceiling-mounted’ mounting type for indoor use. To install the devices, the installer cuts a hole in the ceiling. The devices are then inserted into the ceiling and locked in place with spring clamps. In combination with the different mounting kits for flush-mounted box installation and surface-mounted installation, it is possible to install the devices in existing flush-mounted boxes or to mount them on surfaces unsuitable for flush-mounted boxes. Its IP 44 protection means that it can even be installed outdoors or in moistureprone areas. The design rings can be painted over. Suitable mounting kits are available and allow for easy adaptation to different structural conditions.

Start-up

ETS software carries out start-up. The KNX product database is based on the software used by the Gira KNX presence detectors, meaning that no re-familiarisation period will be necessary.
