What KNX panel series are available and how do I choose?

Push-button: ED (aluminium, flagship), EZ (optional built-in 4-fold 10 A actuator), ER (3-in-1 thermostat, six colours), EX (frameless, 11 mm slim). Touch: EMT (glass capacitive) and ET (metal, 7-colour indicator). Also available: TS touch screens (86-type / 10-inch) and TH thermostats for FCU fan coil control.

What back box is required for installation?

Main series use the standard 86-type back box and fit conventional flush boxes; large models such as the 10-inch touch screen require the corresponding cut-out. Refer to the panel brochure in the document download section.

Can panel functions be customised?

Yes. Key count, key engraving, colours and finishes can be tailored per project, and several series offer multiple colour options. Contact the Hotekey project team for custom requirements.

Which panel is suitable for temperature control?

The ER series is a 3-in-1 thermostat panel, and the TH series is designed for FCU fan coil control — both handle room temperature and fan speed.

Panels, keycard and commissioning questions

The three things specifiers ask us most often about KNX panels

Do you supply keycard switches for KNX hotel rooms?

Keycard power control in a HOTEKEY room is a function of the room controller rather than a separate bus device: the card holder signals occupancy, and the RCU or KNX actuator enables lighting, HVAC and the socket circuit. Card holders that read the Mifare chip ID and reject unauthorised cards are available where a project needs that. If your specification names a specific KNX keycard switch model, raise it at design stage and we will confirm how it fits the room architecture.

What touch panel sizes are available?

86-type panels and 10-inch touch screens, in push-button, glass touch, metal touch and knob formats. All share the 86 mm standard back box, so one room type can mix a simple switch panel and a touch screen without changing the wall opening.

Can the panels be commissioned in ETS6?

ETS6 is the KNX commissioning tool, and it loads devices from the KNX product database by certification. Our KNX-compatible devices are configured through the project's own ETS file. Where a specification requires ETS6-certified devices specifically, we confirm the current certification status of the exact model in writing before the order. We do not claim certification we cannot document.
