The ABB i-bus® KNX sensor PEONIA control element is a high-end, flush-mounted (FM) panel serving as a versatile 2/4/10-fold push-button interface (order as 4-fold, 6-fold, or 10-fold — types U2, U3, U5) and integrated temperature sensor. It enables comprehensive control over KNX functions while discretely monitoring room conditions.This panel is designed for interactive efficiency, featuring a proximity sensor that wakes the device, supporting an energy saving function when not in use. Its rockers are fully programmable for a wide range of functions, including switching, dimming, blind control, value sending, and light scenes.The Peonia Control Element prioritizes aesthetics and user feedback, offering replaceable rockers and extensive visual customization through individual programmable LEDs per rocker and ambient LED strips (top and bottom), available in seven colors.
1. ABB KNX Peonia Control Element 2/4/10-fold: Keypad Versatility and Design
A flexible interface ideal for seamless integration of control and sensing into contemporary design schemes.
Control and Programming:
- Interface: 2/4/10-fold control element line — choose 4-fold, 6-fold, or 10-fold layouts (ABB U2.0.1, U3.0.1, U5.0.1); the 10-fold variant offers up to 10 functions from five rockers.
- Functions: Supports core KNX functions including switching, dimming, blind/shutter control, value sending, step-type switch, and light scene recall.
- Sensing: Integrated temperature sensor for local monitoring and an active proximity sensor for wake-up functionality.
Aesthetics and Feedback:
- Custom Feedback: Individual programmable LED per rocker provides status or feedback indication.
- Ambient Lighting: Features Top and bottom ambient LED strips with a wide palette of colors (red/green/yellow/blue/red-orange/violet/white).
- Design: Uses replaceable rockers without icon for clean, customized labeling.
2. Installation and System Integration
The flush-mounted design and integrated bus coupler simplify installation.
- Installation: Flush Mounted (FM) with integrated bus coupling unit.
- Control Targets: Used to control various outputs, such as a KNX Switch/Dimmer Actuator or to send commands to a KNX Multi-function Sensor for temperature data (Internal Links).
3. Manufacturer order codes (FM)
This product line uses 18 order codes: three rocker layouts (4-fold, 6-fold, 10-fold) × six finishes. The middle digit in the base type identifies the layout (U2 = 4-fold, U3 = 6-fold, U5 = 10-fold); the suffix identifies the finish. All variants are flush-mounted (FM).

Applications and KNX Integration
The Peonia control element suits premium residential, hospitality, and commercial interiors where discrete multi-function keypads replace banks of conventional switches.
- Living and bedroom zones: Combined lighting, dimming, and blind control from one PEONIA plate.
- Hotel corridors and suites: Proximity wake-up and energy-saving behaviour when rooms are unoccupied.
- Office meeting rooms: Scene recall and value sending for HVAC setpoints via integrated temperature sensing.
- ETS configuration: Import the official .knxprod application (see Downloads), assign group addresses, LED feedback, and ambient strip colours per project specification.
