Commend Intercom ET 962H

Integration Intercom Commend ET 962H Network

Introduction Loxone invented in 2021 a new Intercom. It comes with a fantastic design, inbuild camera and is easy to integrate in the system. At the same time, they stopped producing the Gen 1 Intercom. At the moment Loxone does not have a product which you can use for an architectural solution shown on the picture below. The Commend ET 962H is an Intercom Outside Module which can be included direct over network. It takes the power over PoE, has an internal speaker and microphone. Other than that, you have the opportunity to add an external microphone or even other devices. --> Link to device: ET 962H - IoIP/SIP-Modul mit integriertem Mikrofon - Commend AG Schweiz --> The manual does not include the use of a camera and not the external use of the intercom. Both is possible.

--> Test the link first by running it in google chrome. --> As we just focus on an internal version, http as a protocol is ok. If you choose external as well you need to work with https and exchange the certificates.

Done!
