Mix & Match: the full range of Gira switches explained

Surface- or flush-mounted? Single or two-circuit switch? Pushbutton sensor or dimmer? Gira switches are designed to meet your individual requirements. Thanks to the modular structure of Gira System 55, you can combine different frames and inserts just how you see fit.

It’s all about finding a solution that matches your style – not the other way round.

What are Gira switch inserts?

Central inserts form the functional core of Gira’s switch system, which is based on a consistent square measurement of 55 x 55 millimetres. This way, you can choose a frame design and then integrate the specific functions you need.

The entire product range comprises more than 300 options, from classic lighting control to smart door communication. We’ll take a closer look at some of the most popular inserts from the Gira design lines.

With intuitive operating units for lighting, heating, and blinds, Gira System 3000 makes it easy to enter the world of Smart Home technology. All functions can be controlled via Bluetooth app, switches, motion sensors, or timers. There are several top units that perform different tasks in different ways. The system also helps to minimise your energy expenditure (and thereby save costs) in the long run.

Gira System 3000 touch top unit: control your lights and blinds via tap or swipe, just like you do with your smartphone. Apart from “on” and “off”, the Gira System 3000 touch top unit allows for precise adjustments: a single swipe up or down is enough to dim the lights or reposition the blinds.

Gira blind timer display: a solution designed specifically for comfortable blind control.

Using a smart sensor display, you can set individual time schedules for blinds, shutters, or awnings to accommodate your daily routines.

Gira memory top unit with arrow symbols: easy blind and lighting control, manual or automated. Thanks to the memory function, your settings will adjust themselves at exactly the right time.

The stored sequences are repeated every 24 hours. These Gira switches will also simulate your presence to prevent burglaries whenever you’re not home.

Gira System 3000 operating top unit Bluetooth: another clever way to control your Smart Home. Instead of a twofold rocker switch, you can lower or raise your blinds with a simple pushbutton.

One tap, two functions. The Gira System 3000 operating top unit Bluetooth renders adjustments even more precise. Plus, it’s also possible to connect the top unit to your smartphone and monitor your system via app.

Gira System 3000 room temperature controller: one small device to regulate your indoor climate at all times. You can configure automated schedules, using the top unit or the app.

The Gira System 3000 room temperature controller ensures that heating stops as soon as the desired temperatures are reached, so you won’t waste any energy.

For those who want to explore the full range of possibilities, we recommend installing a KNX system. Apart from blinds, lights, and heating, you can integrate numerous other components: door stations, smoke detectors, or kitchen appliances, for example. These networks can be expanded anytime to meet your personal needs. Gira System 55 offers a variety of switch inserts for KNX Smart Homes. Here are some examples:

Gira KNX pushbutton sensor 3: one smart switch that includes up to eight different functions for different devices. Apart from adjusting lights, blinds, and room temperatures separately, you may also create entire scenes that activate several processes at once. The Gira KNX pushbutton sensor 3 has an integrated sensor which monitors your indoor climate. It can regulate the heating in accordance with your preferred settings.

Gira KNX button: it may seem like a regular switch at first glance. But the Gira KNX button allows for much more than turning lights on and off.

Beyond that, you can change the brightness, light colour, or even colour temperature. As part of System 55, the Gira KNX button is suitable for all installations that include classic switch elements.

From practical night lights to USB socket outlets – making your home “smart“ doesn’t always require a fully-fledged system. Gira offers many clever solutions that can be retrofitted without much effort.

Plug & Light featured by Gira: Is it a lamp? Is it a socket outlet? In fact, it’s both.

Plug & Light featured by Gira consists of three parts: a socket, a switch frame, and a top unit. The latter is attached through an integrated magnet, which allows you to rotate the light source by 360 degrees. Depending on your interior style, you can choose between two colour variants: black matt or pure white glossy.

Gira SCHUKO socket outlet with LED orientation lights: this outlet was designed to guide you along through the dark, without blinding your eyes.

It softly illuminates the floor without blinding your eyes whenever you wake up at night. Thanks to an integrated sensor, the Gira SCHUKO socket outlet with LED orientation lights switches off automatically at dawn.

Gira Sensotec: you can even control your lighting without any physical touch. Contactless switches such as the Gira Sensotec are equipped with high-frequency sensors. They react to ambient movement and brightness, turning lights on or off accordingly.

As soon as somebody approaches, dimmed lights will be switched on. At close range, you can increase the brightness by simply moving your hand. The Gira Sensotec furthermore includes a glare-free LED lamp for better orientation in dark hallways.

Gira Radio: home entertainment directly from your wall, without cable clutter or stuffed counters. The Gira Radio is available with one or two loudspeakers (mono or stereo sound).

You can connect it to your lighting so that both are turned on at the same time – when you enter the bathroom in the morning, for example.

Gira USB power supply A & C: searching for the right adapter when your phone dies can become a real nuisance. With a Gira USB power supply, that’s no longer an issue.

This outlet combines two USB ports (A and C) for older and new mobile devices. Hence, you can easily charge your smartphone or tablet without any other equipment.

Gira switch inserts for door communication and keyless access

Even at the entrance, switch inserts enhance your living comfort with stylish designs and smart functions.

Gira video home station 7: a tried and tested solution to welcome your guests and keep unwanted strangers away.

Thanks to an integrated camera, you will immediately see who’s standing at your door. The Gira surface-mounted home station 7 also enables you to turn on the lights at the entrance, open the door remotely, or talk to visitors.

Gira video home station Plus: make your door communication easier with additional smart features. The Gira surface-mounted video home station Plus monitors your outdoor area from all angles.

Furthermore, it allows you to record and save video footage – even at night, as the camera is equipped with infrared LEDs. An automatic heating function prevents fogging during humid weather.

Gira Keyless In: for those who worry about losing their keys all the time, Gira has designed a secure solution. Instead of a conventional lock, you can use a smart top unit that offers two options.

Gira Keyless In opens your door either via personal code or via fingerprint. This will save you from fumbling for keys in the dark – and protect your house against break-ins.

Gira Mix & Match: when design meets function.

Switches, socket outlets, and any other part of your home technology should not only facilitate your daily routines. At the same time, they should also complement your personal style.

That’s why the switch inserts of Gira System 55 are compatible with more than 90 frame variants from the Gira design lines. Following the principle "Mix and Match", you can freely choose the combinations that work best with your interior.
