Tecla XL by Zennio: the KNX touch panel that combines design, customization, and intelligent sensors

In the world of KNX home automation, Tecla XL by Zennio represents an advanced solution for environmental control, combining refined aesthetics, intelligent sensors, and extensive customization. Designed for residential, commercial, and hospitality applications, Tecla XL stands out for its ability to perfectly adapt to the most sophisticated project requirements.

Minimalist design and complete customization

Tecla XL is a capacitive touch switch available in 4, 6, 8, or 10-button versions. The front panel is made of flame-retardant polycarbonate, with an ultra-slim finish and minimalist design, perfect for blending seamlessly into any environment.

The real innovation lies in the possibility of fully customizing the backlit icons using Zennio’s online Touch-My-Design tool. Logos, text, symbols, or images can be integrated into the panel’s interface, with adjustable backlighting. This approach combines functionality with branding, giving designers and architects maximum creative freedom.

Integrated sensors for intelligent comfort

Tecla XL incorporates advanced sensors that enhance interactivity and energy efficiency:

• Ambient light sensor: automatically adjusts icon backlight intensity according to surrounding light, improving readability and reducing consumption.

• Proximity sensor: detects the presence of the user and activates backlighting when needed, creating an intuitive and dynamic user experience.

• Integrated thermal probe with thermostat function: monitors room temperature and automatically controls connected devices (heating or cooling), enhancing comfort and optimizing energy efficiency.

These sensors, combined with adaptive backlighting, make Tecla XL not just a switch, but a true intelligent control device for KNX automation.

KNX integration and flexible installation

Tecla XL integrates seamlessly into KNX systems without requiring external power, drawing directly from the KNX bus for communication and configuration via ETS.

The device is designed for installation in standard flush-mounted back boxes across multiple regions: Europe, the UK, Italy, Australia, and the United States. It can be mounted in both vertical and horizontal orientations, providing maximum flexibility for any type of project.

Variants and modularity

Tecla XL is available in several configurations: 4, 6, 8, or 10 buttons, allowing selection of the most suitable model based on functional needs. All buttons are backlit and fully customizable, enabling tailor-made panels for any context. This modularity makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from private residences to luxury hotels, as well as offices and commercial spaces.

Practical application examples

Thanks to its versatility and KNX integration, Tecla XL can be used in numerous scenarios:

1. Luxury private residences: integrated control of lighting, shutters, climate, and customized scenarios. Personalized backlighting allows each icon to be assigned to specific functions, making the system intuitive for all family members.

2. Hotels and hospitality: centralized control of rooms and suites, with customized icons for lighting, climate, and “Do not disturb/Room service.” Proximity sensors improve energy efficiency by activating panels only when guests approach.

3. Offices and commercial spaces: intelligent management of lighting, climate, and presentation scenarios. Customizable buttons make it easy to identify meeting rooms, common areas, or individual workstations, improving usability for staff and visitors.

4. Multi-function applications: in both residential and commercial settings, Tecla XL can integrate complex scenarios, such as synchronizing lights, shutters, thermostats, and audio systems—all managed from a single elegant and intuitive touch panel.

These examples show how Tecla XL is not just a switch, but an intelligent command point, capable of optimizing comfort, energy efficiency, and overall usability of the environment.
