ABB TB/U1.2.1-CG tacteo KNX Control Element 1/2-way

Description

Introduction

The ABB TB/U1.2.1-CG (Product ID: 2CKA006300A1578) is an individually configurable glass control element designed for KNX smart building systems. As part of the premium ABB-tacteo® product line, this capacitive touch sensor supports 1-fold or 2-fold key assignment, allowing intuitive operation of switching, dimming, shutter/blind position, value sending, and scene handling in modern commercial or residential interiors. This device is part of our professional KNX panel range.

Equipped with an internal KNX bus coupler for direct connection to KNX Twisted Pair (TP) lines, the flush-mounted unit features integrated proximity and ambient light sensors. The device detects an approaching hand to automatically illuminate control icons and dynamically adjusts backlight intensity based on ambient room conditions, while an integrated anti-theft mechanism protects against unauthorized removal.
