New Arcus temperature sensor for ceiling mounting
At the light+building 2010 fair ARCUS presented a new conventional temperature sensor that can be connected to other sensors of their KNX catalogue using their temperature inputs.
What makes this new temperature sensor so special is its design, since it really looks like a small ceiling detector or halogen spotlight. This can be very useful in homes or buildings where decoration and design are important issues.
But this piece of information is meant to be further-reaching: those of you who are not yet familiar with ARCUS should take the opportunity to get to know this high-quality manufacturer.
We recommend you to have a look at their huge temperature / humidity sensor range , since there is a solution for almost any situation (indoor, outdoor, pipes, ground humidity for irrigation systems, surface or inbox mounting, etc.).
The best thing about all these sensors is that they have a really powerful application program which allows from the basic temperature and humidity measurement, to the most advanced regulation including dew point, etc.

New GSM expansion module
Iddero’s HC1-KNX 5,7” Touch Display has been a very popular choice among KNX system integrators ever since it was released in 2008. Actually, it was a very attractive device right from the beginning not only thanks to its design, but also because of:
• Full assortment of basic functions
• Scenes
• Time schedules
• Monitoring of technical alarms
• Logical functions, etc.
• Ethernet connection for downloading configuration and upgrading the firmware
On top of that, it is a robust product, easy to configure.
Then, in September 2009 it was upgraded with an integrated web server and the automatic creation of a web visualization based on the system configuration (with no additional programming or adapting)
And do not forget that, with a list price of 946.00 € (including design frame and power supply) and splendid buying conditions, the HC1-KNX is great value for money!
But as from now you can optimize its functionality thanks to the new GSM expansion module (web code 9592). Basically, it allows remote access to the KNX system from a GSM terminal, providing functionality such as: alarm and event notification, or remote control of devices.
You can download the technical data sheet with much more information here.
Fantastic features and also excellent price: 325.00 € (list price)

CONCLUSIONS TO light+building 2010
Mission concluded! Light+building 2010 is over and, as far as we can tell, all expectations have been met. These are the first conclusions:
* KNX is really going places! Visitors and manufacturers from all over the world filled the Frankfurt fair. And, if someone still had any doubts, the Top Event and the KNX Awards only confirmed what was already obvious to us: KNX has crossed the European borders (mainly to Asia and North America) and has become the international standard we were waiting for.
* Big, traditional manufacturers such as ABB, Jung, Gira, Hager, Siemens, Berker or Schneider displayed their full potential with their splendid booths and well known range of products, but were rather disappointing when referring to new solutions. Nevertheless we will be disclosing some hidden treasures for you soon.
* 2010 was definitely the year of the small/medium KNX manufacturers. Brand new names from several countries exhibited the most varied assortment of KNX devices for all purposes. We were extremely glad to find high-quality, innovative-design and low-price KNX products ready to enter all kind of projects. Keep visiting us because we have a lot to talk about.
We are working on a complete overview of all the new KNX devices of light+building 2010 for your convenience. It will only take a few days and it will be worth having a careful look at.
