Elsner | BX8 – Extension for Complex Shading

The new Elsner BX8 KNX extension for blind control allows you to expand existing sun shading solutions and control up to eight additional façades—independently of the actuators and weather sensors already in use!
This compact 3-unit DIN rail module integrates seamlessly into the KNX system and offers advanced automation functions for optimal daylight management, energy efficiency, and weather protection:
- Flexible integration – compatible with existing KNX actuators and weather sensors
- Automatic façade control – based on brightness, sun position, and room temperature, with precise adjustments for slats and shadow edges
- Versatile automation options – event-driven (8 events), calendar-based (4 seasons with 2 time periods per day), and weekly timer (24 time periods)*
- Extended protection functions – wind, rain, and frost protection for shading systems*
- 9 digital inputs – ideal for push buttons, scene control, or external values
- Extensive status outputs – with editable text labels

* Weather, time, and location data must be available on the KNX bus system, e.g., via a weather station.
