Ekinex EK-BS1-TP Technical Sheet

KNX-Sentio Gateway
Code: EK-BS1-TP
Device with gateway function between a KNX network
(TP, Twisted Pair) and one or more SENTIO multi-room
audio streamers.
Description
The product is designed for installation on DIN profile rail
and occupies 2 modules. The 12-24 Vdc power supply is
external (power supply not included in the supply). The
product with hardware based on embedded operating sy-
stem, has a KNX TP node (twisted pair) and can therefore
be connected directly to the bus network of KNX devices.
The external connectivity is realized through the Ethernet
port that connects the device directly to the home router.
The KNX-Sentio Gateway automatically detects the SEN-
TIO streamer on the network, and allows for each of them
to set a series of KNX group addresses to receive status
information on the bus and send the following commands:
• Volume adjustment (both via percentage command and
increase/decrease commands)
• Highs and lows (both via percentage command and via
increment/decrement commands)
• Play/Pause
• Mute
• Advance previous/next track
• Repeat and/or random play setting
• Preset / source selection (either by direct selection or
by scrolling previous / next)
Information related to the artist and the track being played
is also sent on the KNX bus.
The KNX-Sentio gateway is particularly suitable for ma-
naging the Sentio system from Signum, through the page
dedicated to audio control.
