Hi,
This is my first post on this forum. First of all I would like to apologize for writing this post in English. I’m not a German speaker/writer. However, feel free to answer in German. Google Translate helps a lot. :-)
At home, I have a Gira Doorcommunication system. I have two doorstations (for two separate doors), and a Gira TKS-IP-Gateway. Using the “DCS-Communicator” software installed on my laptop, I am able to answer calls from my door (and open them using the electric lock).
There is one big disadvantage to this solution: when my laptop is off (or the sound is muted), I will not be aware of someone at my front door. :-)
I know I can buy the “Wohnungsstation” or the Gira Videoterminal. But I am looking for a different solution. I want to install a module/component on a discrete location in my hallway (in a corner, close to the ceiling). Obviously, I don’t need to operate this module. However, it just needs to make a clear audible sound when someone is dialing the doorstation. Regarding cabling: I only have the KNX bus available there, so it needs to be a KNX module (no direct connection to Gira DCS).
I have seen that, with the latest firmware of the Gira TKS-IP-Gateway, it is possible to trigger actions in the Gira Homeserver when someone is calling the doorstation (it is used for “JPEG-Abruf”, see http://t.co/rlMaCkTD).
So the question is: is there a (discrete) KNX component/module that is able to produce a sound triggered by a KNX command?
Secondary question: would it be possible to produce different melodies based on the parameters in the KNX command? This way, I could use the same module when the alarm should go of.
Thanks a lot!
