Overview

The Mesh Extender is essential to build out the Thread Mesh network without adding additional functionality. The Mesh Extender can easily be added to the Thread network to overcome dead spots in the network and thus cover a larger area than before. The Mesh Extender reduces dependency on the KNX IoT Hub (Thread border router), it routes messages on the Thread network, even if the device is an end-device.

Features

  • KNX IoT Device, exposing the logical functions.
  • Wireless Thread Router device, using Chili2S with Industry leading receive sensitivity.
  • Can act as a Thread Leader on the network.
  • Power supply 5 V from USB connector (Micro B).
  • Smal Size: aprox.: 45.5mm x 45.5mm x 13mm (W,L,H).

Logic Functions

  • OR
  • AND
  • XOR
The logical functions can have 2 to 5 inputs. The output datapoint will convey the result of the logical function. The logical functions are implemented as module, 4 modules are available.
