What can Basalte Lisa do as a mini touchscreen?
At your request – a survey in the community – we showed you the Basalte Lisa even before it was available on the market (around the end of January 2022). We subjected one of the first final examples of the Belgian manufacturer’s mini touchscreen to a short test. As the woman very often makes the final purchase decision when furnishing a home as to which KNX push-button is used and which is not, Basalte may have chosen the name “Lisa” on purpose.
To get straight to the point: The use of the Basalte Lisa as a mini touchscreen requires the presence of Basalte Home in conjunction with a KNX system. This means that a Basalte server in the form of the Basalte Core Plus or the Core Mini Server should be purchased or already be available.
And what Basalte Lisa does not need to set up: No changes need to be made to the KNX ETS5/6 data set. The touchscreen is simply integrated via POE network cable and installed in a standard EU socket (60 mm or 68 mm cavity wall socket). That’s it! All setup is carried out using Basalte Studio software, which is not freely available.
What functions does Basalte Lisa offer?
- Room control for switching all trades/devices in a room
- Music and Multiroom audio control, access to music tracks and streaming services (Deezer, Spotify, Vidal), client capability and parental controls
- Calling up various outdoor cameras for security and surveillance
- Door communication (video and sound) – compatible with the well-known systems such as Doorbird, 2N, Gira, Siedle etc.
- Internal communication for example “Call for dinner” or “Guests are here” between several Basalte Lisa or Basalte Ellie in the house
- Door opening via touchscreen and operation of motorized locks
- Fades in on request only when approached, integrated proximity sensor
How is Basalte Lisa installed on the wall?
The Basalte Lisa can be installed in both concrete and drywall walls. The installation height we recommend is 1.40 m to 1.55 m. It is installed in a conventional concrete installation box (Kaiser, diameter 60 mm) or cavity wall box (diameter 68 mm). The Basalte Lisa is now used in a whole series of detached houses and impresses with its very good KNX visualization.
How much does Basalte Lisa - the 12 different versions cost?
Basalte Lisa will be available from February 2022 in the usual 12 metal/material combinations and colors/surfaces. Prices start at just under 1400 euros and in the finest versions (Fer Forge Gunmetal) it costs almost 1800 euros. The Lisa has so far been spared the regular “price updates” carried out by Basalte.
What all Basalte Lisa have in common is their absolutely perfect finish with very low fitting tolerances and real metal fittings. For a “normal” house, two or three Basalte Lisa units should be absolutely sufficient. Door communication, music player and chic visualization included.
Extensions through Basalte Home updates
In the coming weeks and months, the small touchscreen will receive a further range of functions through software updates from Basalte Home alone (as of April 2023). This article will be updated regularly.
