KNX voice control interface
Code: EK-BW1-TP
Description
The product is designed for installation on DIN prole rail
and occupies 2 modules. The 12-24 Vdc power supply is
external (power supply not included in the supply). The
product with hardware based on embedded operating sy-
stem, has a KNX TP node (twisted pair) and can therefore
be connected directly to the bus network of KNX devices.
The external connectivity is realized through the Ethernet
port that connects the device directly to the home router.
The integrated web server provides access to the congu-
ration environment and provides the following functions:
• Interface network settings
• Registration and subscription to ekinex cloud services
• Automatic import of the ETS project and merging with
previous imports
• Conguration of voice control accessories (max 150
accessories): lighting (on/o󰀨, dimmed and RGB), mo-
torizations (open/close stop and position) and climate
• Conguration of action sequences on the KNX bus,
which can be called up as scenarios by voice assistants
• Conguration of the IFTTT (If This Than That) cloud
platform for the creation of association rules between
events on the KNX bus and compatible services (e.g.
sending e-mail)
On the Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant apps, the
Ekinex skill and action are available respectively for the
complete conguration of the service.
Main features
• 12-24 Vdc power supply (absorption 240 mA at 12 Vdc)
by means of a special plug-in terminal supplied. Power
supply not included
• KNX TP bus (twisted pair) via red-black terminal pro-
vided
• 1 Ethernet port via cat. 5 or higher cable and standard
RJ45 connector

Before removing the device, be sure the inputs have been
disconnected and the bus terminal has been extracted
from its slot. Use a screwdriver to slide down the locking
device and remove the device from the rail.
i
Warning! The electrical connection of the device may only be
carried out by qualied personnel.
Connection to the KNX bus network
The connection to the bus network is made via the KNX
terminal included in the scope of delivery and inserted
into the housing on the front of the device at the bottom.
KNX clamp characteristics
• Spring clamping of the conductors
• 4 conductor seats for each polarity
• Suitable for KNX bus cable with single conductors
between 0.6 and 0.8 mm diameter
• Recommended conductor stripping approx. 5 mm
• Colour coding: red = bus conductor + (positive), black =
bus conductor - (negative)
Conguration and commissioning
The conguration and commissioning of the voice con-
trol interface must be carried out by accessing the web
server integrated in the product. These activities must be
carried out in accordance with the design of the building
automation system carried out by a qualied professio-
nal.

Note. The RESET button is not directly accessible on the front
panel of the product. To access the button, open the front panel
of the delégo server using a small slotted screwdriver and exer-
ting a slight leverage eect in one of the side slots. Locate the
RESET button on the back of the vertical board at the bottom of
the device towards the KNX terminals.
Mounting
The device has degree of protection IP20, and is there-
fore suitable for use in dry interior rooms. The housing is
made for rail mounting according to EN 60715 in boards
or cabinets for electrical distribution. The installation is in
horizontal position, the correct position is when the KNX
bus terminal is located at the bottom and the terminals for
the outputs are located at the top.
For the installation of the device on the rail proceed as
follows:
• with the aid of a tool bring the locking device in the fully
lowered position (1);
• place the upper edge of the rear inner prole on the
upper edge of the rail (2);
• rotate the device towards the rail (3);
• push the locking device upward until it stops (4).
Note. It is recommended that the installation of the device
always ensure the full accessibility of the front side to allow the
led visualization.
Power 12-24 Vdc
The connection to the power supply is made via the
screw terminals (1)+ and (2)- located on the removable
2-pin connector.
Clamp characteristics
• Screw tightening of conductors
• Max. conductor cross-section 2.5 mm2
• Recommended conductor stripping approx. 6 mm
• Max. torque 0.5 Nm
Warning! Only use KNX bus power supplies (e.g. ekinex EK-
AB1-TP or EK-AG1-TP) to supply the KNX bus lines. The use
of other power supply devices can impair communication and
damage the devices connected to the bus.

Restore factory conguration
If the conguration made makes it impossible to access
the server delégo or its correct use, it is possible to re-
store the factory conditions, resetting the IP address and
emptying the supervision project using the “RESET” but-
ton available. In this case, compared to what was pre-
viously seen to restore the IP address, the procedure to
follow is the following:
• open the front panel of the device using a small slotted
screwdriver, and exerting a slight leverage e󰀨ect in one
of the side slots
• locate the RESET button on the back of the vertical
card
• Press the RESET button for at least 10 seconds un-
til the SERVICE LED on the front of the device starts
ashing, then release the button.
• within the next 5 seconds, press and hold the button for
at least 10 seconds
• When the LED is solidly lit, release the button and wait
for it to go out.
• when the LED goes o󰀨, remove and restore the power
supply
• Wait about one minute and log in to the server with the
factory IP address (192.168.0.110).
Network connection
The conguration and use of the voice control interface
requires a connection to the home or company network.
The default IP address of the interface is: 192.168.0.110.
For the initial conguration of the interface, as well as in
case of absence of a network during the installation pha-
se, it is necessary to proceed as follows:
1. connect the interface to your PC via a “cross over” (or
“crossover”) network cable
2. access your PC’s network settings, as illustrated in
your operating system documentation
3. Change the TCP/IP communication protocol settings
(version 4) for the LAN port of your PC, and set the
following parameters manually:
• IP address: 192.16 8.0.100
• Network mask: 255.255.255.0
• Default gateway: 192.168.0.110
• Save and wait for the new settings to take e󰀨ect. If
prompted, reboot the system.
After these operations, open an Internet browser and
type in the address bar:
http://192.168.0.110
Note! For an optimal browsing experience, we recommend using
one of the following browsers:
• Google Chrome
• Apple Safari
First access
When you open the browser at the default address, the
login screen is displayed:
the voice control interface has the following preset user
at the factory:
Warning! To avoid losing all the congurations made for the au-
tomation project during a factory reset operation, it is recommen-
ded to make periodic backups of the supervision project.

tion environment.
Restore factory IP address
If necessary, you can restore the factory IP address of the
voice interface using the RESET button available. Follow
the procedure below:
• open the front panel of the device using a small slotted
screwdriver, and exerting a slight leverage e󰀨ect in one
of the side slots
• locate the RESET button on the back of the vertical
card
• Press the button for at least 10 seconds until the SER-
VICE LED on the front of the device starts ashing,
then release the button.
• within the next 5 seconds, press and release the button
for 1 second; within a couple of seconds the front LED
will light up solidly for a couple of seconds
• When the LED goes out, the device can be reached at
the factory IP address (192.168.0.110).
If the LED goes out after long press (10 seconds) before
short press, repeat the whole procedure. This procedure
resets the IP address and retains all data relating to the
conguration previously carried out on the automation sy-
stem.
The conguration and commissioning activities of the KNX voice
control interface require specialized skills on the KNX network
and knowledge of the specic automation project carried out with
ETS. To acquire these skills, it is essential to participate in the
courses organized at KNX certied training centers. For further
