January 2010 - ComBridge WCI, KNX low-cost visualisation with a new design

For a number of years IPAS has now been offering the ComBridge Web Communication Interface (WCI) - a powerful KNXnet/IP Gateway with integrated web server to observe and control KNX systems with any standard web browser.

The device makes it possible to create simple visualisations of up to 40 KNX functions without using an additional PC. Via an additional tunnelling connection the WCI can also be used to configure a KNX installation with ETS or to change the configuration.

From January 2010 onwards devices will be delivered with the new firmware version 5.0.5. Apart from a number of functional enhancements the new firmware offers a completely up-dated and modern web layout of the visualisation pages.

The design follows the display of the IPAS TouchControl ETS6C (circular blue) to ensure that the user can easily recognise and intuitively control the visualisation. When developing the firmware, a major focus has been on the control and display on current mobile devices.

WCI Webpage Vizualisation with Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

The new firmware is now not only optimised for the standard browsers Internet Exploer and Firefox but also for browser display on the iPhone, Goggle-G1, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. This means that numerous WLAN enabled mobile phones can now be used as control stations for a domestic KNX installation.

Thanks to the WCI's up-date function, existing devices can be up-dated to the new firmware. The update files as well as the description of the software can be found in our Download-Center.

Please read the instructions in the description
Appl 3622-WCI-08-0110-FW505-en.doc before you perform the up-date.

April 2009 - IPAS ComBridge Multimediagateway MMG now operates EPSON video projectors

With the new application 0118-EpsonBeamer-E010 for the popular IPAS Multimediagateway, it is now possible to operate a wide range of market leader EPSON's video projectors via KNX. The application enables the operation of both basic EPSON models (e.g. EMP-S5, EMP-X5) and high-end devices (e.g. EB-G5100, EB-G5350).

Using the MMG the projectors can be switched on and off via KNX; the sources can be selected and the audio volume of the projector can be adjusted. The MMG uses the ASCII interface which is integrated in EPSON devices. The possible integration in KNX scenes offers the opportunity of a wide range of use in presentation and media rooms.

A complete list of currently supported EPSON devices can be found at ComBridge MMG. The application can be downloaded from the IPAS Customer Center.
