Wind direction detection for optimum protection of buildings and technology

The Weather Station Suntracer KNX pro for the KNX building bus system measures temperature, wind speed, wind direction, brightness, air humidity and air pressure. It recognises precipitation and receives the GPS signal for time and location. In addition, using location coordinates and the time, it calculates the exact position of the sun (azimuth and elevation).

All values can be used for the control of limit dependent switching outputs. States can be linked via AND logic gates and OR logic gates. Multi-function modules change input data as required by means of calculations, querying a condition, or converting the data point type.

The integrated shade control system allows intelligent sun protection control of up to 12 facades.
