Theben has delivered Smart Home and KNX training cases, the perfect tool for in-depth technical training in building automation.

The included devices of Theben’s training cases are focused on the standard functions of a building (switching & dimming light, shading, heating, sensor technology) and enable a wide range of further applications.

“The precious time wasted in vocational school sorting cables and materials is bypassed here through goal-oriented preparatory work,” YouTuber Torben Ledermann says (in his cooperation video with Theben AG).

The device selection has been well thought out and specifically adapted to KNX and Smart Home training. The two different cases are equipped with a total of twelve devices.

Covering the standard functions of a building and includes four actuators, four classic sensors as well as a modern weather station and three system devices, all the necessary equipment is combined in one case with nothing standing in the way of programming. In addition, all systems are already wired, which avoids cable clutter.

In addition to the devices in the lower-case segment, both cases feature helpful simulations relevant to everyday life in the upper half. A built-in floor plan of a single-family home allows trainees to test out the function of LED light strips (for blinds, switchable and dimmable lighting, heating, central control, plus more) and to learn them on the model. Thus, smart home training can take place from anywhere.

To make it easier to get started with KNX and smart home training, various interface options are available in the case. In addition to a USB port, the KNX training case contains a KNX IPsecure router. This allows several cases to be connected to each other during exercise phases, for example, to simulate different floors.

At the same time, internal Theben devices as well as external KNX devices from other suppliers can be connected to the case via the KNX bus adapter. The Smart Home training case also has an integrated WLAN router which can also be used to train various network topics. Operation is simple via the LUXORplay app, a plus point not only for young trainees. In this way, visualisations can be made more vivid and intuitive.
