How to choose a KNX touch panel

A KNX home combines push-buttons and displays. Choosing the right display for each room avoids huge panels where a thermostat would do and poor controls where the whole home needs to be visible.

In short

A KNX touch panel is chosen by what it must control: in bedrooms a 3.5 to 4.3-inch one acting as thermostat and scene control is enough; at the entrance or living room a 7 to 10-inch panel with IP is better, showing the whole home and acting as door intercom monitor. Iddero and JUNG have models for both.

What to check before buying

  • IP connection if you want door intercom, cameras or remote access.
  • Door intercom compatibility: the display must support the chosen door station.
  • Built-in thermostat if it will control the room’s climate.
  • Flush box type and depth required; in refurbishments this is a key detail.
  • That the frame design matches the switch range.

Frequently asked questions

Does a display replace push-buttons?

It is not advisable. Push-buttons remain the quickest control for everyday use; the display adds information, scenes and whole-home control.

Do I need a display to use the phone app?

Not necessarily. Phone control can come from an IP display or a visualisation server. Our KNX remote control guide explains it.
