The new Busch-tacteo KNX sensor is the latest addition to the ABB AbilityTM smart building offering. Busch-tacteo is an individually configurable control element for the intelligent building management of modern public buildings, sophisticated housing and luxury hotels. Its innovative glass surface also meets the highest design standards.
The new Busch-Jaeger control panel is yet another example of the company's commitment to developing intelligent products that are universally applicable. The capacitive KNX glass sensors react non-contact and offer almost unlimited possibilities for intelligent networking and building control. Functions such as heating, blinds, air conditioning or lighting can be controlled to create comfortable living and working environments.
Mike Mustapha, Group Executive Vice President of the Electrification Products Division and responsible for Marketing, Sales and Commercial Operations said: "The advent of the Internet of Things - which connects physical assets such as devices or vehicles to cloud-based control systems - has become a major technological innovation in building control Making progress possible."

"The growing number of home and office IP devices and sensors, coupled with advances in technology, makes it possible to transform collected data into useful information. Networked on a global platform, the comprehensive portfolio of ABB Ability TM solutions provides a comfortable, secure and efficient technology for intelligent buildings. "
Flexibility is an essential feature of Busch Jaeger and ABB products when it comes to customizing building functions. All settings can be easily set by software, which means that the building automation can be adapted to changing requirements at any time.
The devices are manufactured to international environmental standards and can be easily connected to wired or wireless sensors, drives or sensor drive units and DIN rail mounted devices. With systems such as Busch-Installationbus KNX, Busch-free at home and in the future Busch-tacto Devices can be configured and operated via software, app or cloud connection. They are absolutely future-proof and easy to install and configure.
"The stock of smart residential buildings will continue to grow in the coming years," emphasizes Mike Mustapha. "This growth is also accompanied by rising expectations from end users, who are increasingly demanding solutions that allow them to meet their individual needs rather than providing common standards."
"Our solutions help ensure that building systems evolve and respond to the changing needs of each resident to adjust."
