Overview
The Vimar Idea KNX thermostat is a flush-mounted 2-module room controller for KNX systems, with ON/OFF ambient temperature control for two independent zones. It has one NO relay output rated at 4 A 24 V~, one programmable digital input, and one input for a temperature sensor compatible with Vimar 20432, 19432, or 14432.
For onboard projects, this thermostat makes sense in enclosed interior spaces where a KNX installation is already handling cabin climate and related automation. It includes local operation, a display, manual set point setting, and an IP40 thermoplastic housing, so it is better suited to protected wall panels and cabin bulkheads than exposed helm or deck locations.
Key features
- ON/OFF ambient temperature control for two independent zones
- KNX bus connection for integration into an existing automation system
- One NO relay output rated at 4 A 24 V~
- One input for a compatible temperature sensor: 20432, 19432, or 14432
- One programmable digital input for control logic or external commands
- Flush-mounted 2-module format for Vimar Idea installations
- Local operation with display and manual set point adjustment
- Thermoplastic matt-finish front with IP40 protection for interior mounting
Variants
This thermostat is offered in two front-color configurations within the same Idea KNX format.
Across both versions, the control function, KNX bus connection, 2-module footprint, relay rating, sensor input, programmable digital input, local controls, display, and IP40 protection stay the same. The visible change between the variants is the front color.
- VM16915.B, Color Ivory. This version uses a lighter visible finish that works well with pale switch surrounds and lighter interior panels.
- VM16915, Color Gray. This version uses a darker visible finish that blends more easily with gray surrounds and darker interior trim.
Installation and setup
This is a flush-mounted thermostat in the Vimar Idea modular format, so fit depends on using the matching installation layout for that range. In a boat refit or new build, it is best placed in interior accommodation spaces where the thermostat can stay shielded from spray, washdowns, and direct weather exposure.
Setup is straightforward for projects that already use KNX for climate and room control. The relay output handles ON/OFF control for heating or air-conditioning logic, while the separate sensor input allows the thermostat to work with a compatible remote temperature probe when the sensing point needs to be positioned away from the front unit.
Compatibility and fit
This thermostat suits vessels that use KNX as the backbone for interior automation and want straightforward temperature control in cabins, saloons, guest spaces, or crew areas. It is also a sensible match where two separate zones need control from one thermostat point without moving to a more complex controller type.
