JUNG offers Intelligent expansion of KNX installations with its HOME Gateway

By combining the Smart Visu Server with the JUNG HOME Gateway, JUNG unlocks new potential for existing KNX installations.

Electrical professionals can retrofit smart functions easily and efficiently.

Existing KNX systems can be seamlessly expanded using the JUNG HOME Gateway, with no need for additional wiring. When connected to the Smart Visu Server, JUNG HOME sockets, push-buttons, and sensors can be visualised, automated, and integrated into scenes. The combination of both systems offers a flexible retrofit solution that can be operated via the Smart Visu Server app – adding more functions to existing installations.

JUNG HOME sockets and push-buttons in the KNX system

From version 1.3.1 onwards, the JUNG HOME Gateway allows for the integration of switchable JUNG HOME sockets, JUNG HOME SCHUKO® sockets Energy for load-dependent functions (e.g. energy consumption measurement of connected devices), and battery-powered push-buttons. Communication with the JUNG HOME components is handled via the secure Bluetooth® Mesh wireless protocol. Devices are paired and configured in the JUNG HOME Gateway and then transferred to the Smart Visu Server via the IP network. On the KNX side, no reprogramming is required – integration takes place via the SV-Control interface.

Easy retrofitting without structural modifications

One of the major advantages of this system combination is the ability to realise new functions using the existing 230 V infrastructure. Existing sockets can simply be replaced with the appropriate JUNG HOME sockets – available in matching JUNG designs. Additional control points, such as battery-powered push-buttons at new locations, can also be easily added. This makes it possible to equip attics, garden houses, garages or additional rooms without laying new bus lines – for example, when changing the use of a space or during renovations. All retrofit components are fully integrated into the system and operated without the need for an additional app or interface conversion.

Visualisation, scenes and automation

Once integrated, the JUNG HOME devices appear in the Smart Visu Server app just like the existing KNX devices. They can be assigned to scenes, switched based on time schedules, or automated. Control is carried out via a mobile device, web browser or JUNG touch display – with optional remote access and voice control via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

Key advantages at a glance:

• The JUNG HOME Gateway integrates up to 60 JUNG HOME devices via Bluetooth® Mesh
• IP communication between JUNG HOME Gateway and Smart Visu Server via LAN
• Devices are integrated into the familiar visualisation
• Control via app, scenes, time schedules, voice control
• Energy monitoring when using the JUNG HOME SCHUKO® socket Energy
• Easy retrofitting of existing sockets and push-buttons
• Visually appealing components in matching JUNG design

Conclusion: flexibility, added comfort and new business opportunities

The combined system of Smart Visu Server and JUNG HOME Gateway is particularly attractive for electrical professionals looking to expand or retrofit existing installations. With just a few steps, a classic KNX installation can be upgraded – without changing the existing KNX programming. This gives contractors a compelling opportunity to offer customers smart comfort functions without major structural work or additional wiring. Existing KNX systems can be expanded economically and to a high standard – with proven JUNG quality, consistent visualisation and excellent user experience.
