Summary

The Zennio Z100 stands out as one of the best touchscreens on the market, hence why we call it ‘a giant killer’. This device is not just another touchscreen; it is a single comprehensive control panel that replaces an array of devices, creating convenience to both integrators and end-users. It’s seemingly endless functions and visually appealing display make it a favourite in both the integrator’s and the end user’s eyes. The Z100 integrates camera feeds, intercoms, gate control, screen savers, energy monitoring, and more. Additional licenses can be added to combine the power of voice control and smartphone control to the touch panel.

The feature of the Z100 that impressed me the most is the ability to graphically represent data over time. I can program the device to allow the customer to see when a button gets used, how much power their house is consuming or the temperature of a room etc. This data is saved and can be viewed over days and months. The ability to save and review this data over extended periods offers homeowners a detailed understanding of their consumption patterns, leading to potential energy savings and optimized system use.

For those looking to customize their Z100 experience, the programming flexibility is a significant advantage. My top tip for programming the Z100 is to place a control in a 2×2 square to create a large button. This is very useful for the main function within a page, such as the On/Off button for a heatpump.

My only gripe with this product is due to the smartphone control occasionally taking 5-25 seconds, a delay that might impact the overall perception of the device’s reliability. Despite this, the Zennio Z100 remains a top-tier choice in its category, offering a rich blend of functionality, user-friendliness, and aesthetic appeal. It truly is a ‘giant killer’ in the world of touchscreens, setting a high standard for what users can expect from the KNX touchscreen product range.
