A good weather station should do more than tell a building what the weather is doing. It should help the building respond to it.

The Theben UK Meteodata 150 KNX, available from Ivory Egg, brings multiple environmental sensors and intelligent control functions together in one device. It can measure wind, rain, brightness, temperature, humidity, air pressure and solar radiation, then use that data to automate shading, ventilation, heating and cooling.

For integrators, the benefits are practical:
- fewer separate components to specify and install
- up to 14 independent solar shading channels
- built-in logic, time and astronomical functions
- detailed ETS diagnostics for easier commissioning and fault-finding
- KNX Data Secure and firmware update capability
- a straightforward upgrade path from the Meteodata 140 KNX

The result is more intelligent building control, less unnecessary complexity and greater flexibility when designing projects around comfort, energy efficiency and protection.

A milestone worth celebrating. 🎓

It was great to have Craig Chapman, CEO of Ivory Egg, over from Australia as we marked the completion of the first KNX training course at our new UK training centre.

What better way to understand the technology than to see where it starts - and where it can take you?

Jasper spent the day with Wandsworth Electrical - getting hands-on with the manufacturing process before experiencing Gira technology and KNX in action across very different environments.

The Experience Room brought residential and commercial automation to life - while the Digital Patient Journey Experience Centre showed how KNX can support healthcare spaces too.

A big thank you to the Gira and Wandsworth teams.

Faradite's Cresnet-connected keypads and motion sensors give Crestron integrators more choice when it comes to creating elegant, responsive projects.

From the TAP-5 ORE keypad to discreet motion sensing options, the range brings together premium finishes, practical functionality and seamless Crestron integration.

And where a project needs Crestron to work alongside other building systems, including KNX, there is even more scope to create joined-up control without compromising the user experience.

Speak to the Ivory Egg team to find out more about Faradite for Crestron and how KNX can fit into the wider project.

Ivory Egg will be heading to Barcelona for Integrated Systems Europe 2027 next February.

As one of the key international events for AV, systems integration and smart building technology, ISE is an important opportunity for our team to stay close to the manufacturers and technologies shaping the market, explore new developments and have useful conversations about where the industry is heading.

Adrian will be joining the Faradite team on Stand 2E500 - so you can catch him there throughout the show.

For us, the value of ISE goes beyond seeing new products. It is a chance to strengthen manufacturer relationships, understand emerging approaches to integration and building control, and bring that knowledge back into the advice and support we give our customers.

Are you attending ISE 2027?

Some of the Ivory Egg UK team will be heading to the Smart Buildings Show at ExCeL London.

Taking place on 14-15 October, the show brings together the building controls and smart buildings industry, with everything from building automation and energy management to HVAC, lighting and controls on the agenda.

It will be a good opportunity to catch up with familiar faces, make new connections and see what is developing across the wider smart buildings market.

If you’re attending too and would like to catch up, get in touch.

Energy efficiency is not always about adding more technology. Sometimes, it is about getting the systems already in a building to work together.

When lighting, heating, cooling and shading operate independently, energy can easily be used when and where it is not needed.

KNX brings these functions together, allowing the building to respond intelligently to occupancy, daylight, temperature and schedules.

The result is not simply lower energy use, but better control, greater comfort and stronger long-term building performance.

For BMS managers, where do you see the biggest opportunities to reduce unnecessary energy use through better system integration?

Our first KNX Basic Certification Course has proved so popular that, due to demand, we’ve added a second set of October dates.
📅 Monday 19 to Wednesday 21 October 2026
📍 Ivory Egg’s brand new dedicated training workshop, Nottingham
💷 Introductory price: £600

This practical three-day course is designed for those starting out with KNX or looking to formalise their knowledge, covering KNX fundamentals, ETS programming, device setup, wiring, commissioning and basic troubleshooting.

The course will be led by our Technical Support Engineer and KNX Tutor, Amir Abyenah, who brings extensive experience in KNX design, programming and commissioning across residential and commercial projects.

Our £600 introductory price is available for our 2026 courses, before increasing to £800 in 2027, so October is a great opportunity to secure your place at the launch rate.

And if bringing your team to Nottingham isn’t practical, we can also travel to deliver training on-site for your team.
