Bring supported KNX functions into your smart-home platform

Use the Super Gateway as the bridge between the KNX installation and a compatible Matter ecosystem. It is designed for projects that need coordinated access to supported lighting, air-conditioning, floor-heating and sensor functions.

Matter 1.6 support is confirmed by JINK for this product. Individual features depend on the supplied firmware, gateway driver and target platform; protocol-version support does not imply every optional Matter 1.6 feature is implemented.

The gateway does not make every KNX function available automatically. Device compatibility, control commands and status feedback depend on the exact equipment, gateway firmware, commissioning and destination platform. Agree on those functions before installation.

Plan the installation

1. Review the project: prepare the KNX device list, existing project information, group addresses and required controls and feedback.
2. Prepare the infrastructure: confirm the 24 V DC supply, KNX bus-power arrangement, Ethernet connection, DIN-rail space and compatible platform controller or home hub.
3. Commission and verify: follow the supplied installation and configuration instructions, then test the agreed functions in the selected smart-home platform.

Electrical installation and KNX commissioning should be carried out by qualified professionals. The JINK support page includes a KNX-to-Apple Home setup guide.

JINK Super Gateway KNX — Frequently Asked Questions

KNX, Matter and Apple Home

What is JINK Super Gateway KNX?

JINK Super Gateway KNX is a DIN-rail KNX-to-Matter bridge. It connects supported KNX device functions to compatible smart-home platforms, with Matter 1.6 support, a wired Ethernet connection and a listed maximum of 249 child devices.

Can I connect KNX devices to Apple Home with this gateway?

Yes, supported KNX functions can be brought into Apple Home through the gateway’s Matter bridge. The available controls depend on the KNX device, gateway configuration and Apple Home support. Provide your device list and required functions before commissioning.

Which smart-home platforms are supported?

The listed platforms are Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Samsung SmartThings. You need a compatible Matter setup for the platform you choose. Supported device types, voice commands, automations and feedback can differ between platforms; do not assume every function is identical.

Is this a Matter bridge or a native HomeKit accessory?

This product is offered as a Matter 1.6 bridge for KNX integration. Apple Home compatibility through Matter should not be confused with a separate native HomeKit certification claim. The gateway is not an Apple-manufactured product.

Will every KNX device and function work automatically?

No universal compatibility is promised. A KNX interface alone does not establish support for every device function, datapoint or manufacturer-specific feature. Ask JINK to review the exact models and the controls and feedback you want to expose before ordering.

What does the maximum of 249 child devices mean?

The published gateway limit is 249 child devices. This is not a guarantee of 249 physical KNX modules, 249 group addresses or 249 devices supported by every destination platform. Confirm how your project’s mapped functions are counted and any additional platform limits.

Commissioning and networking

What information should my KNX installer prepare?

Prepare the device list, KNX project and group-address information, datapoint types, and separate command and status-feedback addresses where the device type requires them. The configuration guide shows manual device entry and Excel-template import. Match each mapping to the actual KNX equipment and test it in the target platform.

Can I import an ETS .knxproj file directly?

The documented bulk-import route is an Excel template containing KNX configuration data, alongside manual entry of group addresses in the web interface. Direct .knxproj import is not documented. Use the template that matches your firmware and obtain the current template from JINK; Excel import should not be confused with native ETS project import.

Can it be added to an existing KNX installation?

It is intended to bridge supported KNX functions into a compatible smart-home ecosystem. For an existing installation, the installer should review the current bus topology, project documentation, power arrangement and required function mapping. A retrofit plan must be checked for that installation rather than assumed to be plug-and-play.

Does it use Ethernet or Wi-Fi?

The published network specification is one 100 Mbps Ethernet connection. Plan a wired LAN connection for the installation. Wi-Fi connectivity is not specified in this listing and should not be assumed from Matter support or the appearance of other JINK gateway models.

Does this gateway require a Thread Border Router?

The listed network connection for this gateway is Ethernet; it is not described as a Matter-over-Thread gateway. Matter support alone does not make a Thread Border Router a requirement for the gateway. Separate Thread accessories in the same home may require their own supported Thread infrastructure.

What do I need for Apple Home setup and remote access?

Provide a compatible Apple home hub and follow Apple’s current Matter setup requirements. A home hub also supports remote control, shared access and automations. The KNX gateway does not replace that Apple home hub. See Apple’s home-hub setup guidance and the JINK KNX-to-Apple Home setup guide.

Power, installation and hardware

What power supply does the gateway require?

The specified gateway power input is 24 V DC / 0.5 A. Have a qualified installer confirm the correct supply, terminal polarity and wiring against the exact hardware documentation. Do not connect mains voltage directly to a terminal specified for DC input.

Does it replace the KNX bus power supply?

Do not infer that from the gateway’s 24 V DC input rating. The listing identifies a KNX bus interface and a separate power interface but does not establish that the unit supplies the KNX bus. Confirm the required bus power supply and wiring arrangement from the installation diagram.

Can I power it over Ethernet using PoE?

PoE support is not specified in the current product information. The listed power connection is 24 V DC / 0.5 A. Do not plan a PoE-only installation unless JINK confirms support for the exact supplied model.

Will it fit a standard DIN-rail cabinet?

The listed dimensions are 90 × 72 × 63 mm, with mounting on a 35 mm DIN rail. Allow additional clearance for connectors, cable bends and servicing. Check the cabinet layout and the supplied installation drawing before allocating rail space.

What processor, memory and storage does it have?

The published hardware specification is a dual-core Cortex-A53 processor at 1.8 GHz, 1 GB DDR3 memory and 8 GB eMMC storage. These specifications describe the gateway hardware; they do not independently establish support for a particular third-party device or automation.

Which interfaces are listed for the KNX version?

The specification lists one 100 Mbps Ethernet connection, one KNX bus interface and one DC 24 V power interface. This page is for the KNX gateway. Confirm the supplied hardware revision and wiring diagram before relying on connector labels shown in individual product photos.

Functions, package and project selection

Can it integrate lighting, heating, air conditioning and sensors?

Yes. Configuration guide V3.6 lists drivers for switching, dimming, tunable-white and RGB lighting, curtains and blinds, HVAC, thermostats, floor heating, ventilation and multiple sensor types. It also lists scenes, programmable buttons and locks. Each function still requires compatible KNX equipment, correct address mapping and support in the destination platform.

Will Apple Home show the actual device status?

The guide lists status feedback for supported switches, lights, dimmers, curtains, HVAC and other drivers. Configure the relevant status group addresses as well as the command addresses. The values shown in Apple Home depend on the KNX device’s feedback, the selected driver and the platform’s supported presentation.

Will every function continue working without internet access?

The current listing does not define a complete offline-behavior matrix. Local control, app sign-in, commissioning, remote access, voice services and firmware updates can have different dependencies. Ask for the offline behavior of your required functions and include an internet-disconnection test in project acceptance.

What is included in the box?

The listed package contains one JINK Super Gateway KNX Matter 1.6 smart-home bridge. A separate power supply, KNX bus supply, Ethernet cable, KNX devices, Apple home hub and commissioning service are not listed as included. Confirm the final package and any required accessories before ordering.

How is the KNX version different from JINK Super Gateway DALI + KNX?

This page lists a KNX bus interface and does not list a DALI interface. If your project needs DALI lighting integration, review the separate JINK Super Gateway DALI + KNX product and confirm its supported lighting functions. Do not assume the two versions have interchangeable interfaces.

What should I send for a compatibility check or project quote?

Send the KNX device models, required commands and feedback, device or function count, project/group-address information, target smart-home platform, cabinet space, quantity and destination. Request written confirmation of compatibility, commissioning steps, included accessories, any applicable licensing terms and delivery timing. Contact JINK support; remove passwords, setup codes and other private credentials from shared screenshots.

Web setup, pairing and maintenance

How do I access the gateway configuration page?

Connect through the installation’s trusted local network, find the gateway’s assigned IP address in the router’s device list, and open that address on port 3000 in a browser. The guide also describes custom IP settings under Port Management. Use your supplied sign-in details, change the default password during commissioning, and do not expose the configuration page directly to the internet.

Why have my configuration changes not taken effect, or why do example devices appear?

After adding or editing ports and devices, use Apply Configuration. The guide states that the KNX port is predefined and does not normally need modification. Factory example entries must be removed from the final project before applying the configuration, otherwise those examples will also appear in the app.

How do I pair the gateway and its child devices with Apple Home?

Complete the device configuration and set up a compatible Apple home hub first. For initial pairing, the guide instructs you to select Re-pair, wait for the pairing QR code to regenerate, then scan it in Apple Home. Allow about one minute, or up to two minutes for a large configuration such as 200 child devices. Keep your pairing code private.

Does Re-pair erase my KNX configuration?

The guide states that Re-pair refreshes the pairing QR code without deleting the stored user configuration. However, using it after successful commissioning requires the gateway to be added in the app again. Do not use Re-pair as a routine refresh or as the first response to a delayed child-device update.

How do I add or remove child devices after setup?

Add or remove individual child devices in the gateway’s web interface and apply the configuration. The guide allows approximately two to three minutes for the changes to synchronize to the Apple Home app. Allow that processing time before considering a new pairing operation.

Can I back up the configuration or move it to a replacement gateway?

Yes. The guide provides Export Configuration for saving the completed setup. It describes loading the exported configuration onto replacement hardware through the Manual Upgrade workflow. Keep the backup private, and confirm hardware and firmware compatibility with JINK before restoring it.

How are firmware updates and system rollback handled?

The guide distinguishes Online Upgrade for system-code updates from Manual Upgrade for supplied packages or configuration migration. It instructs a power cycle after the manual upgrade is complete. V3.6 also documents rollback to a stable state from seven days earlier. Back up first and follow JINK’s instructions for your exact firmware; protocol support does not guarantee every future feature or update.

Is remote debugging available?

The guide includes a remote-debugging assistance function under Port Management. Enable it only for an agreed support session and turn it off when the session ends. Do not publish administrator credentials, private configuration backups or Matter pairing codes when requesting help.
