  • The Smart Touch S10, S7, and S3 panels provide centralized control of lighting, HVAC, blinds, scenes, security, and video intercom from a single touchscreen. 
  • GVS offers a hybrid KNX + Zigbee 3.0 architecture that combines the reliability of wired KNX installations with the flexibility of wireless Zigbee devices for retrofit and expansion projects. 
  • GVS solutions are widely deployed in smart homes, hotels, offices, airports, rail systems, hospitals, and commercial buildings. 
  • Always verify firmware compatibility, ETS databases, physical addresses, group addresses, and KNX Secure settings before commissioning or replacing KNX devices.
