1.3 System requirements
To operate the Gira HomeServer, a functional KNX system is required. Communication with
the KNX devices, as well as monitoring of all events, is done via the KNX.
The Gira HomeServer is programmed using the “HS Expert” software, which is available free
of charge in the download area of the Gira website. This software can be operated on a
standard PC with a Microsoft® Windows operating system.
1.4 Area of application
The Gira HomeServer is set up in buildings, in rooms with ‘normal’ humidity and room tem-
perature. Use in damp cellars, for example, may adversely affect the functionality of the
device. The device is used for monitoring, visualisation and controlling KNX systems. The
software made available in the download area of the Gira website may only be used together
with the Gira HomeServer.
Any other use of the device and software is not permitted. Gira shall assume neither legal
responsibility nor a warranty of any kind for errors and damage resulting from the improper
use of the device or the related software.
