User interface
1.1
Structure of the user interface
Note
Differences in the views
The figures in the tile or detail views may differ from the views in your project,
as the texts, functions and symbols can all be individually configured as desired.
Accordingly, this document makes reference only to the basic functions.
The user interface is divided into four areas:
[1] Status bar [see 1.2]
[2] Navigation bar [see 1.3]
[3] Action area [see 1.4]
[4] Orientation guide
At the lower edge of the screen you will see a circle for every available func-
tion or page. The circle marked shows the current position. By swiping hori-
zontally, you can change the function or page. This also causes the marked
circle to shift.

Status bar
The symbols in the status bar have the following meanings:
[1] The warning symbol in the status bar shows that the Gira X1 can no longer
be reached.
If you tap the warning symbol, the relevant error message is displayed.
[2] Date and time display (obtained from Gira X1).
1.3
Navigation bar
The buttons in the navigation bar have the following functions:
[1] [Back] opens the previously opened page.
[2] [Home] opens the home page of the action area.
[3] [System] opens the [Settings] view.
[4] [Change view] switches between tile and detail view.
1.4
Action area
The action area is the central working area through which you can operate and
adjust the settings of the Gira X1. You can use all of the applications, the func-
tion folder and the KNX functions here.
The action area has two view options:
- Tile view
- Detail view
The first page of the action area is the [Home] page.

1.4.1
Tile view
Tile view is one of the two view options of the action area, along with detail view.
The two function folders [Building] and [Subsystems] are always shown. If you
tap the [Building] tile, you can navigate to the desired function through the struc-
ture of your building.
If you tap the [Subsystems] tile, all functions will be displayed by subsystem, e.g.
[Light], [Temperature], [Shading] etc.
Functions marked as favourites will be displayed directly in tile view.
In tile view you can display up to six small tiles per page.
Operation in tile viewCentral functions such as switching on and off, adjusting the temperature or
dimming in fixed steps can be operated directly in tile view. To do this, tap Plus/
Minus or the arrow buttons to dim the light, adjust the temperature or move
blinds/shutters.
When you tap a tile, the detail view of the function opens. There (depending on
the configuration) you can carry out additional operations in the function.

1.4.2
Detail view
Detail view is one of the two view options of the action area, along with tile view.
Detail view is opened by tapping on a tile in tile view. All operating features of
the relevant function are then available on the entire display. Operation for most
functions is by tapping, with some functions, such as the blind control, distin-
guishing between a short and long press of the button. The following sections
deal with some special features of operation.
Horizontal swipingYou can switch from one function to the next with a horizontal swiping move-
ment of the finger.
Adjustable scaleThe adjustable scale can be used in the [Dimmer] and [Heating] functions. In or-
der to adjust the brightness or setpoint temperature, tap directly on the desired
value in the scale or move the adjustable scale to the desired position.

Blinds or shutters can be controlled using the slide control in the detail view. To
move blinds or shutters up or down or adjust the slats, slide the controller to the
desired position.
Stop buttonWhen you tap the [STOP] button, you can directly stop active movement of the
hanging or a slat adjustment. The hanging then stops immediately at its current
position.

Function timer
The timer is easy to operate and can be used to control many functions. It allows
certain functions to be triggered at a specified time every day or only on certain
days. For example, the blinds are automatically raised every morning and low-
ered again in the evening, or the heating automatically switches to night mode.
A timer can be set up in the following functions:
- Switch (rocker function) with 10 switching times,
- Dimmer with 10 switching times,
- Blind Step/Move with 10 switching times
- Blind positioning with 10 switching times,
- Shutter positioning with 10 switching times,
