Product Description:
The Steinel HPD3 KNX Presence Detector is an innovative, surface-mounted sensor designed for professional indoor environments such as conference rooms, open-plan offices, lecture halls, and production facilities. Using high-precision optical sensor technology, the HPD3 detects, counts, and locates individuals in real-time, monitoring up to 5 independently configurable zones. The detector’s environmental sensors measure key factors like temperature, humidity, CO2, and VOC levels, ensuring optimal control over air quality and comfort.
The HPD3 integrates seamlessly with KNX systems, offering intelligent automation for lighting, HVAC, and environmental systems. In addition to KNX, it supports IoT connectivity via REST API, MQTT, and BacNet, enabling integration with smart building platforms. The surface-mounted design makes it ideal for both retrofitting and new installations, and its robust communication features ensure encrypted data transmission.

IP has superior network layer hardware, software and data throughput (whether wired or wireless) with decades of tech industry development. All the benefits of a multi-vendor ecosystem persist. Protocols like MQTT and end to end encryption enable the IoT promise, zero-trust security, analytics and data-lakes.
IP device availability is growing strongly, albeit off a low base. The ability to mix topologies and bridge between traditional bus architecture like KNX and IP-based POE devices enables a risk mitigated future-proof solution. Being able to take advantage of the traditional richness of the ecosystem of products (BACNet, DALI, KNX), with a future architecture in place, means the speed of the transition is neutralised.
IP should not be viewed as either/or, rather as both/and.
A final consideration is that there are many more IT engineers than building services engineers which means skills will be more readily available in future.
