Product Details
The Ourican MES-DICE-6DIO-I2C is a versatile KNX gateway developed to integrate third-party keypads and conventional switches into intelligent home and building automation systems.
It provides an interface between compatible I2C-based keypads and the KNX ecosystem, allowing automation professionals to use different keypad technologies without being restricted to a specific switch manufacturer.
The device supports push-button keypads, capacitive touch interfaces, potential-free switches and contacts through I2C communication or binary inputs.
Each keypad key can be individually programmed to perform multiple automation functions, including lighting ON/OFF switching, RGB and Tunable White dimming, motorized shutter operation, fan speed adjustment and scene activation. Keys can also be configured individually or in pairs to provide flexible control options.
The gateway also supports advanced LED indicator configuration. LED behaviour can be programmed for status-based scaling, flashing, always ON or always OFF operation through ETS software.
With flexible installation options inside back boxes or false ceilings, the MES-DICE-6DIO-I2C is an ideal solution for luxury residences, smart villas, hotels, offices and commercial automation projects that require integration of third-party keypad designs into KNX systems.
