Gira G1

Gira G1 is the intelligent control centre for all Gira One building technology. All functions can be conveniently operated via the bright multi-touch display with a tap of the finger or a gesture. It can be installed on a single device box just like a normal switch, and is suitable for modernisations, retrofits and new buildings in equal measure. Thanks to encryption, communication between the Gira G1 and the Gira One server is safe from manipulation.

Gira G1 can be used as a Gira One server client and, in combination with the DCS IP gateway, as a home station for door communication.

With its slender appearance, Gira G1 almost appears to hover on the wall. Available in white or black, Gira G1 can be integrated into different living environments in an aesthetically harmonious way.

Selected materials underscore the high-quality design of Gira G1. The single-piece front panel is made of scratch-resistant, 1-mm thick special glass. Thanks to its precision bonding, it forms a single unit with the housing. The high-quality metal frame gives Gira G1 its attractive appearance, even from the side. The fibreglass-reinforced holding frame ensures long-term stability on the wall.

The brightness sensor automatically adjusts the display to the respective light conditions. The proximity sensor detectswhen a person approaches the Gira G1 and automatically switches on the display. If Gira G1 is not in use, the display is switched off. That saves power and is an energy-efficient solution.

From adjusting lighting and blinds to setting the room temperature, an online weather forecast or even door communication, Gira G1 allows intuitive control of all functions of the Gira One system. With the tap of a finger or a gesture such as placing a hand on the screen or swiping it, the desired function is called up and is ready for operation. Many Gira One system settings for Gira G1 and the building technology it controls are straightforward for users to enter themselves on the display.

The intuitive Gira interface, which has been redesigned from scratch, makes operating building technology and door communication easier than ever before. The user-friendly design with a large font and the easy-to-understand icons from Gira’s new system of symbols ensure clarity.

Tapping the screen takes the user from the functional overview to the detailed view, where all the features of the respective function are available on the entire display. Swiping a finger allows the user to jump from one function to the next – as if there were a series of switches lined up on the wall. Door communication and the weather forecast can also be accessed from the functional overview.

Gira G1 can be used as a central operating unit for a Gira One system and connected by LAN or WLAN.

Gira G1 is connected to the building technology using a LAN cable, or wirelessly by WLAN and with the Gira One server and the Gira DSC IP gateway – depending on the situation in the building. Connecting using LAN is recommended in new builds or in buildings with cabling already installed.

Gira G1 can be connected to an IP network using a LAN cable or by WLAN. IP functions such as an online weather forecast and, in combination with the Gira DCS IP gateway, the Gira door communication system can be accessed in this way.

Three different flush-mounted connection modules are available for use in the various systems: Power over Ethernet (PoE), 230 V WLAN ¹ and 24 V WLAN ¹

Installation is extremely simple: In new builds, a network line and a PoE-enabled switch are all that is needed to connect the device to the communication network. This is also possible for retrofits, with a 230 V model with WLAN or a 24 V model, also with WLAN, available.

Gira G1 can be installed in a standard device box (deep box) in three steps:

First, the flush-mounted connection module (Power over Ethernet, 24 V WLAN, 230 V WLAN) is installed in the device box.

A holding frame is affixed to the flush-mounted connection module and secured to another box or screwed to the wall using two screws.

Once the installation work is complete, the display module is clipped into the holding frame. A disassembly safeguard prevents the device from being easily disassembled.
