Faradite has unveiled the highly anticipated Motion Sensor 360 – KNX, a new PIR motion sensor which has the same tiny dimensions as the Motion Sensor 360 – Volt Free, flush mounted with a 49mm front, but with the addition of KNX to bring a host of new functions and features.
The Motion Sensor 360 – KNX is capable of performing four independent functions, each with independent parameters. It has six different function types to choose from, including switching, dimming value transmitter, scenes, HVAC, constant lighting control and advanced value sending with 10 different value types, giving the sensor lots of potential in KNX installations.
Other exciting features of the KNX sensor includes day/night mode which allows different functions to take place depending on the time of day. It also features a brightness sensor allowing it to behave differently depending on the current level of light in the room.

The sensor also has master/slave capabilities, meaning multiple sensors can be connected to cover larger spaces and will work seamlessly together. It also features push button input technology which allows the sensor to be connected to a KNX switch which can be set to override the sensor’s normal functions, providing maximum flexibility and a great user experience.
Another useful feature on the KNX device is the Constant Light Control (daylight harvesting) function, which dynamically adjusts the programmed dimming channel to maintain a brightness setpoint in the room. For example, in a room with lots of natural light, the lights may dim to a lower level when it’s bright enough, but if the natural environment becomes darker, the lighting channel will gently increase the lighting to ensure the brightness setpoint is consistent.

Faradite’s Motion Sensor 360 – KNX is produced in the UK as part of the company’s Made in Britain membership. This particular sensor is unique as one of very few KNX products made in the UK.
The sensor is available now in both white and black.
