The Gira 218000 DALI Gateway Plus KNX REG is a professional interface module designed to connect a KNX building automation system with a digital DALI lighting installation. It is ideal for smart homes, commercial buildings, offices, hotels, retail spaces and professional automation projects where DALI lighting needs to be controlled, dimmed and monitored through KNX.

This gateway allows DALI luminaires and control gear to be integrated into a KNX installation, enabling switching, dimming, grouping, scene control and centralised lighting management. It is designed for DIN rail installation inside an electrical distribution board, making it suitable for clean and professional panel-mounted installations.

The Gira 218000 supports control of up to 64 DALI operating devices on one DALI line. These devices can be controlled individually, organised into up to 32 groups or controlled centrally using broadcast commands. This makes it suitable for projects with multiple lighting circuits and flexible lighting zones.

The device also supports manual operation independently of the KNX bus, which can be useful during commissioning, testing or construction-site operation. It offers advanced lighting functions such as light scenes, effect sequences, feedback messages and fault reporting, depending on the configuration and project setup.

As part of a KNX installation, the Gira DALI Gateway Plus can be configured using ETS software. It is intended for installation and commissioning by qualified electricians or KNX professionals.
