Raylogic DIN-RE8-KNX
Raylogic DIN-RE8-KNX
The Raylogic DIN‑RE8‑KNX is a DIN‑rail mounted, 8‑channel relay interface designed for seamless integration into smart building automation systems. Primarily intended for switching lighting circuits (LED/incandescent/fluorescent) up to 16 A per channel, it also supports curtain control (up to 4 pairs). The “‑KNX” variant adds compatibility with the KNX bus—configured via ETS—while retaining Raylogic’s standard RAYNET and IP control options.
Built for flexibility, it includes an internal power supply capable of powering up to two Raylogic keypads and features on‑board control via touch switches, smartphone apps, third‑party systems, or voice assistants.

Key Features
• Universal Load Switching via 8 high-current relay outputs, up to 16 A per channel. Supports both lighting and mechanical loads like curtains.
• Advanced Automation with support for timed switching, curtain-specific control, and configurable groups/areas.
• Intelligent Memory keeping 60 presets (scenes, schedules, timers), plus last-state restoration after power loss.
• Flexible Connectivity combining RAYNET, IP/Ethernet, and optional KNX — along with in-built web server and ETS configuration for KNX setups.
• Multi-modal Interface: Control via smartphone apps, physical keypads, manual switches, and convenient on-unit touch inputs.
• Voice-Activated control through popular ecosystems: Alexa, Google Home, Siri, and IFTTT. Robust Build with industrial-grade enclosure (steel), designed for DIN-rail installation, requiring external protection in installation panel.
Applications
• Residential Smart Lighting: Ideal for multi-room lighting automation—fade patterns, scheduled scenes, and central control via mobile or voice.
• Curtain/Shutter Automation: Manages up to four curtain pairs with timed and manual operations.
• Commercial/Corporate Spaces: Great fit for boardrooms, banquet halls, hotel rooms, and offices—scalable, integrable with existing KNX or IP infrastructure.
• Hybrid Systems: Works seamlessly with Raylogic's hybrid ecosystem, mixing wired/wireless or GO app-based control with KNX.
• Third‑Party/Wiring Integration: RAYNET RS‑485 protocol allows easy integration with third-party control systems or building management systems.
Summary
The Raylogic DIN‑RE8‑KNX is a powerful, scalable, and smart relay module for modern automation systems. With eight robust relay outputs, scene memory, multiple control avenues (apps, KNX, RS‑485, voice), and industrial-grade design, it sits at the center of both simple and complex automation setups—be it modern homes, corporate environments, or hospitality spaces.
