^SynOhrMultiSenseKNX-Eng-13.odt, 2014-05-06 Page 5 of 49

SynOhr MultiSense KNX is the world's first KNX room
controller with integrated voice recognition. The room
controller measures the temperature, humidity and coler
intensity.

With the aid of a dot-matrix KNX-compliant 14-byte strings
can be displayed.

A built-in speaker outputs the audio signals that can be
stored by the user on the included SD card. The output is
initiated via a 14-byte group address from the KNX bus
representing the file name on the SD card. The SD card is
formatted in the FAT file system. The data in the delivery
state are listed in Table 1.

The vocabulary of the built-in speech includes about 250

words and must not be taught separately.

The parameterization of the triggered commands is done
via ETS . Thus commands such as „COMPUTER LIGHT
30 PERCENT“ are realized. The word sequence can be
changed by the user via the free software SynOhrStudio.

The central button is illuminated in color and gives also a
visual feedback for the detected sequence (see page 36).
At the lateral edges a colored ambient lighting is installed.
The brightness of the lighting can be adjusted
automatically via built-in brightness sensor to the ambient
light be adjusted or turned off. The same applies for the
display backlight.

The variants are software options that are enabled on the serial number of the device and have

This device is a product of the KNX-system and complies with the KNX directives. Detailed
technical knowledge obtained in KNX training courses is a prerequisite to understanding. The
software for the KNXTM part is in the product data base. Planning, installation and commissioning
are carried out with the help of KNX-certified software. The built-in speech is parameterized
using the freely available program SynOhrStudio. You will find the required data under

www.synohr.com. The device is powered only from the bus and does not require additional

auxiliary power supply.

If reducing the bus voltage below 23V, then a flicker of light occurs if this is set to maximum
value. Reduce in this case the illumination (s. p.11).

In the installation box (Picture 2), which is installed in a standard hollow wall box, the bus
coupler is integrated. This is in addition to the communication to KNXTM bus also produces the
power to the SynOhr MultiSense KNX main module. The exact procedure in the assembly, refer
to the Quick Start Guide.

Placement

^SynOhrMultiSenseKNX-Eng-13.odt, 2014-05-06 Page 7 of 49

The max. range of speech recognition is 7 m at normal volume. The range is specified in
SynOhrStudio via the parameter slider (see page 36). Increased range means that under certain
circumstances also a reduced quality of the speech recognition e.g. if additonal noise sources
are close to the SynOhr MultiSense KNX and the speaker is a few meters away. For larger living
rooms we therefore recommend the master-slave operation with multiple stations which are set
to a standard range of about 4 m. The ideal placement is between 1.1 m and 1.5 m in height, so
that radios and televisions etc. are as far away from SynOhr MultiSense KNX but close to the
„normal“ location of the speaker.

Picture 3: Placement Examples

Picture 3 shows examples of placement for SynOhr MultiSense KNX. Place 1 is optimal from the
perspective of speech recognition. Assuming that the TV emits sounds directly and not via
sound system, is at No. 1 the distance to the most probable location of the users (sofa) the
lowest. If there is no possibility behind the sofa place 2 should be preferred instead of place 3,
because at the door are presumed noises or speaking people.

The max. range depends on room acoustics, the place of installation (e.g. acoustic shadow
behind the wall), the speaker volume, and (to a lesser extent on) the number of used words. Up
to a distance of 4 m it is possible under difficult conditions to have a every day suitable
parameterization. In addition the similarity of the selected commands and the room acoustics
plays a large role in theses distances. If noise sources (radio) on SynOhr are louder and closer
than the speaker, a detection is not possible. If larger areas in an open building are acoustically
to be „listened“ you need more slaves.

The parameter „Sensitivity“ in SynOhrStudio (comp. p. 36) sets the range. Because in hallways
or in tiled rooms and without wallpapers resonances or hall are present, you have to work with
smaller „room size“ as in rooms with sound-absorbing elements (wood walls, wallpaper,
carpets).

Recommendation: In difficult conditions – do not change any other parameters – but choose the
range small in order to gradually bring this to the desired sensitivity. It the sensitivity is set too
high the key word recognition reacts on wrong words or is not responding robust.

Keys

SD Card

^SynOhrMultiSenseKNX-Eng-13.odt, 2014-05-06 Page 8 of 49

Picture 4 Shows the arrangement of the two capacitive touch buttons and their sensitivity fields
and the central pressure button. The touch keys are equipped with a repeat function which ends
after about 8 seconds. After that key must be „released“ and pressed again. Optimal operation is
achieved by gentle pressure with the thumb on the pad.

Picture 4: Controls

The optimum pressure point of the central button is as indicated in Picture 4 at the top of the
button.

The parameterization of the speech is on the SC card. For the parameterization the free
software SynOhrStudio is required. The software is under

www.enertex.de/downloads/synohr/SynOhrStudio-win.zip for download.

The current German language data record („Sprachschatz”) you will find under

Sound-Output

www.enertex.de/downloads/synohr/SprachSchatz-DE.zip. On delivery the speech of SynOhr

MultiSense KNX is parameterized as shown in Table 1.

For changing the card insert the card vertically with the printed side to the visible side, comp.
Picture 5.

Picture 5: SD Card Placement

There is a file *.key on the supplied card. This file defines with which model variant (see page 5)
SynOhr MultiSense KNX is operated and might not be deleted. The data contained in the file
represent a software key for the features that are enabled for the device with that serial number.

Please be sure to make a backup copy of the key file. If you lose the key file, the
regeneration is not free.

After placing the aperture (see installation instructions) the capacitive touch keys must be
calibrated. This is done automatically by the reboot of SynOhr MultiSense KNX. After the
installation you press the central button for 10 seconds. The reset process can be detected on
the short-term disappearance of the numeric display.

The speaker is installed directly below the central button.

Security

Display

The volume of the sound output is via the ETS or the internal menu parameterized (comp. p. S.

16). It is also possible to control them by group addresses.

The built-speech operates with high reliability. Safety-critical operations should not be performed
(non-intended use) with speech.

Light Measurement

^SynOhrMultiSenseKNX-Eng-13.odt, 2014-05-06 Page 11 of 49

SynOhr MultiSense KNX allows the measurement of the humidity.

The measurement of sound pressure takes place via the built-in microphones and is relative to
the selected „room size“ (comp. p. 36).

The built-in light measurement is taken in four areas: red, green, blue and white. The
measurement in performed as shown in Picture 7 (clear = white).

Lighting Control

Display

Ring

Picture 7: Light Measurement

For each of the three lights (ambience, ring, display) an automatic lighting control depending on
the ambient lighting, can be turned on. Starting from the max. illumination is specified via the
ETS or the internal menu (comp. page 16), will increase the backlight with increasing ambient
light to the maximum.

The intensity of the display backlight can be set by the user in steps from 0 to 100 %. This will be
parameterized by the ETS or the internal menu (comp. page 16). It is also possible to regulate
the brightness of light on the sensor automatically.

The intensity of the ring illumination of the central speaker button can be specified by the user in

steps from 0 to 100 %. This will be parameterized by the ETS or the internal menu (comp. page

16). It is also possible to regulate the brightness of light on the sensor automatically. The color
can be changed via a group address. If the speech recognizer is active the color changes
automatically to the fixed values.

The color of the ring illumination can be set via a group address if the recognizer is not active
(not in Starter Edition).

In the Premium-Edition the brightness of the ring illumination and the lighting effects can be
changed via a group address. The pulsation of the color can be converted into a pulsation of the
brightness or the pulsation can be completely deactivated.

If the pulsation of the color is selected only the green component of the illumination is changed.

The intensity of the side ambient lighting of the center speaker button can be specified by the
user in steps from 0 to 100 %. This will be parameterized by the ETS or the internal menu
(comp. page 16). It is possible to regulate the brightness of light on the sensor automatically.
The color can be specified via a group address.

Each operation of the speech must be initiated with predetermined command word (see page

36). Is the keyword recognized, a confirmation sound is output depending on the parameter­ization. The speech remains for about three seconds in this mode and waits for speaking the
actual command e.g. to turn on the light. During this waiting period the ring flashes in yellow. The
operator must necessarily wait to speak until the ring lights in yellow (respectively the sound was
played). The ambient lighting is turned off during this phase.

If this active state of the speech a command is spoken and recognized a confirmation sound is
output depending on parameterization. The ring will light green for a moment. The ambient
lighting then turns on and the ring illuminates in the selected primary color.

If all required command sequences are specified, they must be compiled (see picture 13).

Picture 13: Compile Data

Here a directory „SD“ is created and filled with all for the SynOhr MultiSense KNX necessary
data.

Then copy the contents of this directory into the top level directory of the supplied already pre­configured SD card. The configuration in the SynOhrStudio can be saved and reloaded.

Restart

There is a file*.key on the supplied card. This file defines with which model variant (see page 5)
SynOhr MultiSense KNX is operated and might not be deleted. The data contained in the file
represent a software key for the features that are enabled for the device with that serial number.

Please be sure to make a backup copy of the key file. If you lose the key file, the
regeneration is not free.

Insert the SD card into the the SynOhr MultiSense KNX and restart while pressing the central

Menu Structure on the Device

Operation

^SynOhrMultiSenseKNX-Eng-13.odt, 2014-05-06 Page 16 of 49

On the device some settings can be made directly, for that are in each case the main menu and
sub menu items.

With a long keystroke (approximately 3 seconds) of the central button you get to the menu level
which is left automatically after 2 minutes without input respectively via the menu item „Exit“. If
the central button is pressed longer than 1 second, so a bargraph appears in the dot matrix. If
this is filled out completely, the three seconds have elapsed for changing the menu level and
takes you on release automatically to the second menu level.

With the touch button as you scroll in the first menu level. The scrolling is endless at the upper
and lower end, i.e. reaching the last point so start pressing again at the first respectively the
other way round.

Pressing the central button to access the submenu that you leave by long button-press. By
pressing again you get into the setting of the submenu item. There the values are displayed or
changed.

Menu Structure

If you are in the menu level, the numeric display shows each the level and the submenu in the
form Mainmenu. Submenu e.g. 1.02.

The touch buttons work per step function (with small dead time) and key repeat. The key repeat
is switched off after about 7 seconds and there will be a relaese and possibly re-touching of the
touch keys necessary.

For project design and commissioning of the equipment at least the ETS3.0 from version d patch
A is required. Only if this ETS-version or later versions are advantages with regard to the
download (significantly shorter loading times) and for parameter configuration through the
integrated database PlugIn usable.The required product database ist available in *.VD4-format.
For the ETS2 and older versions of ETS3 is no product database available.

Room Controller

Picture 14: Main Dialog of the ETS Application

The ETS application must be included on the product database and does not require the
integration of Plugins.

The room controller has the following features (comp. Picture 14, Picture 15 and Picture 16):

Picture 16: Setpoints in the ETS

• Different operating modes can be activated for the room controller: comfort, standby,

night- and building protection.

• Each operating mode can be its own temperature setpoints (for heating and/or cooling)

assigned.

• Parameterizable duration of comfort prolongation.

• Changing of the operating modes by 1byte object to KONNEX or by up to 4 individual 1

bit objects.

• Frost-/heat protection switching by window status.

• Display of the room temperature controller information on the device display.

• Modes „Heating“, „Cooling“, „Heating and Cooling“ with or without auxiliary step.

• For each heating or cooling stage are different types of control configurable. PI-control

(continuous or switching PWM) or 2-point control (switching).

• Control parameters for PI-controller (if desired: proportional band, reset time) and 2-

point controller (hysteresis) is adjustable.

• The temperature setpoints for the additional stage are derived via a configurable level

distance from the values of the basic level.

• Automatic or object oriented switch-over between „Heating“ and „Cooling“.

• Setpoint shift temporarily or permanently possible by operating the function keys on the

device or via communication objects (e.g. by a controller extension).

• Complete (1 byte) or partial(1 bit) status information about objects parameterized and

transmitted to the bus.

• Deactivation of the control or of the additional stage via separate 1 bit objects possible.

• Internal and external temperature sensor for room temperature measurement is

possible.

• The room temperature measurement (actual value) can be adjusted via parameter

separately for internal and external sensor.

• The actual and desired temperatures can be issued after a configurable deviation on the

bus (also cyclic).

• Separate or joint alternate size output in heating and cooling mode. Thereby one or two

variables objects per level.

• Normal or inverted alternate size output configurable.

• Automatic transmission and cycle time for alternate size output configurable (Note: the

parameter „Cyclical Turn (min)“ is only relevant if a PI-controller is configured with
switching alternate size).

Sensors

^SynOhrMultiSenseKNX-Eng-13.odt, 2014-05-06 Page 20 of 49

The built-in sensors can be parameterized as follows:

• Automatic transmission and cycle time for output configurable (0 = function deactivated

• Measurement of the ambient temperature

• Measurement of the humidity

• Measurement of the light in the colors white, red, green, blue

• Measurement of luminous intensity (areas 0,0 to 9,9 Lux and 10 to 9999 Lux)

• Measurement of the sound level (Premium Edition only in association with Enertex®

EibPC) with setting a threshold.

The default values can be taken from the pictures 17-19.

0 Setpoint Base Setpoint Temperature 16 bits

(f16)

At the setpoint temperatures for comfort-, standby-, night-mode is always to observe that all reference values are in a
fixed relation to each other. All values are derived from basic setpoint temperature. This value can also be set in the
ETS. Defaults are shown Picture 15. With this 2 byte object the basic setpoint temperature and therefore all
dependent setpoint temperatures can be changed. Additionally or alternatively the basic setpoint can also be changed
by an on-site operation in the second operating level. The basic setpoint represents the single „heating“ or „cooling“
directly the representative comfort temperature. In the combined „heating and cooling“ the basic setpoint adjusts
depending of the configured dead-band in the ETS either directly (asymmetrical dead-band) or indirectly (symmetrical
dead band) the comfort temperature for heating. The dead-band is the temperature zone in which is neither heating
nor cooling. It is the difference between the comfort setpoint temperatures for heating and cooling. The comfort
setpoint temperature for cooling is then derived taking into account the dead zone from the comfort setpoint
temperature of the heating mode.

In order to parameterize the recognizer, the free software Software SynOhrStudio is required.
The software is available under www.enertex.de/downloads/synohr/SynOhrStudio-win.zip for
download. The current German language data record („Vocabulary“) can be found at

www.enertex.de/downloads/synohr/SprachSchatz-DE.zip.

The ETS data bank see www.enertex.de/downloads/synohr/SynOhr-ETS.vd4.

The SD card may not be formatted with the tools of MS-Windows 7 or 8 supplied for compatiblity
reasons. Under https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/ is a tool which provides the
formatting suitable for SynOhr MultiSense KNX. For changing the card insert the card vertically
with the printed side to the visible side, comp. Picture 5.

SynOhrStudio

Execution

SynOhr MultiSense KNX must be configurated for the command recoginition. For configuration
in the ETS the group addresses are configured for word commands as command 1 to command
40 (depending on the model variant). The word commands are composed of the given
vocabulary. This vocabulary is provided by the Enertex® Bayern GmbH. A SprachSchatz (=
essence of language features) includes approximately 250 words, they were recorded in
advance by different speakers (male / female). The SprachSchatz is speaker-independent and
therefore SynOhr MultiSense KNX must not be taught by the end customer.

The application„SynOhrStudio“ is an executable exe-file that can be run by double click. Starting
for the first time this file creates an additional directory named „SynohrData“. In this is a
configuration file loacted for the SynOhrStudio as well as the main program to generate the data
for SynOhr MultiSense KNX. The user interface after start is shown in Picture 22 .

The software is available for download under www.enertex.de/downloads/synohr/SynOhrStudio-

win.zip.. The current German language date record („Vocabulary“) can be found under

Picture 22: User Interface when Starting the Program

On the user interface the command sequence is edited in the command area. For this purpose
one pulls a displayed term out of one of the two with headings Commands or Extensions to one
of the starts in the big right field.

While pressing the left mouse button a desired term out of these lists is marked. Now keep the
left mouse button pressed and move the marked term to the desired location in the editing area
and it will be placed by releasing the button. For the formation of commands are approximately
250 words available in the command list.

The asterisks in the editing area serve as placeholders and are replaced by the selected
command. Commands sequences can be assembled with maximum four words as in a modular
system. As an example Picture 23 the term 'Shading' with the help of the described method
was moved to third line of command on the second place.

Picture 23: Transmission of a Term through Drag & Drop

Depending on the license are up to 40 command sequences are assigned. Please pay attention
to the setting rules when creating the commands (see page 43).

Using the right mouse button or the menu item Edit you can copy marked rows from the right
field via Copy and Insert in to the clipboard and then paste it into another row. It is also

possible to delete marked rows or insert one row between two rows. . If a middle mouse
button is available, with it individual terms can be deleted.

Above the command area there is a selection box for the Keyword (see Picture 22). By means
of the slider the required Clarity can be adjusted on a scale from 0 to 7 and the Range via the
slider 'Sensitivity' from 0 to 9.

The edited file can then preferable be stored in the directory with the main program and
reopened later . If the command area is finished editing the SD-files can be created via

compilation tool in the toolbar. The SD data are then in the directory SD in the application file.
The contents of this directory can then be copied to the delivered SD card which is then

connected via the SD slot to the SynOhr MultiSense KNX main unit.

Under the menu Options the path can be set to the most important directories (Path Settings).
Choosing English as main language is possible as well as setting German. Note that changing
the language requires a restart of the program..

The commands are processed by the help of SynOhrStudio for the speech recognizer
independent of the user via the KNXTM Parameterization of the ETS.

Setting the SynOhrStudio a vocabulary is required. This includes the SprachSchatz for the
language, the necessary configuration data, audio files for output etc. This vocabulary must be
located in a selectable directory preferable in the same directory as the application
„SynOhrStudio“. In Picture 24 an example of directory is to be seen which includes the
application the directory with the vocabulary. The path to the vocabulary directory can be set
under Options / Path Setting.

Master Slave

Keyword

Operation

^SynOhrMultiSenseKNX-Eng-13.odt, 2014-05-06 Page 36 of 49

The maximum range of the speech recognition is 7 m at normal speaker volume. The range is
specified in SynOhrStudio via parameter slider „Sensitivity“ (see Picture 22). The larger the room
size is set the more sensitive are the microphones. This is noticeable in accordance with the
sound level monitoring. Increased range means under circumstances decreased quality of the
speech recognition, e.g. if a playing radio is close to the SynOhr MultiSense KNX but the
speaker a few meters away.

For larger living rooms we therefore recommend a master slave operation with multiple stations,
each set only to a standard range of about 4 m. Via the KNXTM Bus and an additonal required
Enertex® EibPC the signals can be evaluated and the speech recognitions can be synchronized
with each other.

Selection of Keywords

Sensitivity

In „SynOhrStudio“ the independent application from ETS the SprachSchatz for the commands is
put together respectively compiled. One command consists of maximum four words. Under one
command is understandable e.g. WALL LAMP BRIGHTER. So that SynOhr MultiSense KNX
does not recognize a command during a conversation and falsely enables an action, the
SynOhr®SynOhr MultiSense KNX must be placed in the active mode first. This is also done with
the help of speech recognition using the „Keyword“. This keyword is intensively checked by the
recognizer and must be spoken isolated (pause at the end). If the recognizer has realized the
keyword, so it gives a visual feedback through yellow flashing the ring and audible feedback by
playing a short ring tone. During the phase of blinking and after playing the feedback sound the
actual command must be spoken within three seconds.

The keywords are selected so that these have different properties for recognition and stability.
The artificial word ENERTEX or the word COMMAND are from our experience as particularly
suitable. Should children operate the SynOhr MultiSense KNX by speech recognition before
voice break, so is probably SYNOHR the best choice.

With this setting the maximum range for speech recognition is set. The maximum range depends
mainly on the room acoustics, the place of installation (e.g. acoustic shadow behind a wall), the
speaker volume and (but less) of the number of used words. Up to a range of 4 m should a
suitable everyday use parameterization even under difficult circumstances. For the range it is
important whether it is spoken frontally or from one side. Spoken laterally the signal is more than
50 % degraded. Therefore the human being automatically turns the head towards the speaker.

Additionally the similarity of the selected words and the room acoustic plays a large role in
theses distances. If the noise sources (radio etc.) are louder and closer to the SynOhr than the
speaker a recognition is not possible. If two people have a conversation a third person cannot
operate the SynOhr from the same distance. Also note the chapter in the manual for choosing a
suitable location. In order to „listen“ acoustically larger areas, it definitely takes more than one
slave.

The following table specifies the operating range adjustment. The situation with a lot of
resonances are often to be found in the corridor or rooms with lots of tiles and no wallpaper.
Incorrect parameter here means that very probably a recognition about possibly greater
distances are possible, but this is not robust against interference noise.

Because in hallways or tiled rooms and without wallpapers echo and resonances are existing,
you have to work with smaller „Room Size“ as in rooms with sound-absorbing elements (wooden

Enertex® Bayern GmbH – Ebermannstädter Straße 8 - 91301 Forchheim - [e-mail]

^SynOhrMultiSenseKNX-Eng-13.odt, 2014-05-06 Page 37 of 49

walls, wallpapers, carpets). Under difficult conditions – do not change any other parameters –
but choose the range small in order to adjust gradually the desired sensitivity. If the sensitivity is
set too high, usually the keyword recognition responds on wrong words or not robust.

The higher the echo in a room is the more important is for a good quality of recognition, that the
speaker inserts between each word of a command sequence a little break (<0,4s). This is also
dependent on the similarity of the used words respectively increases a break at similar phrases
distinctness of the words.

In addition to these basic properties the needed clarity of the pronunciation can be reduced by
software, this is done to disadvantage of the robustness. This can be selected by SynOhr
MultiSense KNX with the help of the parameter slider in SynOhrStudio (see Picture 25). It can be
scaled between zero to seven. The higher the value is selected the more the user must speak
the activation word.

The parameter „Clarity“ has only an effect on the keyword.

^SynOhrMultiSenseKNX-Eng-13.odt, 2014-05-06 Page 39 of 49

In addition to the initializing of the keyword the individual commands must be parameterized.
Depending on the license you can assign up to 40 commands. The possible words from which a
command can be put together are displayed in SynOhrStudio in the window „Commands“. Via
drag and drop up to four words can be put together to one command (see Picture 26). After
compiling the complete firmware must copied to the SD card and then put into the SynOhr slot
(see Picture 4). For this purpose the content of the SynOhrStudio generated SD directory is
copied to the top directory of the SD card. Then the SynOhr MultiSense KNX must be rebooted.
The speech recognizer works independently from the ETS.

A boot process can be triggered by pressing the central button for ten seconds respectively via
the ETS in the device view „Reset Device“.

Word order and commands can be changed without relying on the ETS e.g. by the user himself.

Picture 26: Example of a Command Sequence (Excerpt)

Independent of the SynOhrStudio must assigned to each speech command an action in the ETS
(see Picture 27):

Picture 27: Light Measurement

Here you can choose:

• Switch: On/Off/At

• Dimming: Lighter/Darker

• Blinds: Up/Down

Level 0 .. 7

• Dimming: Increase/Decrease

Level 0 .. 7

• Percentage: Transmit the fixed value on the bus

0 to 255 (0 bis 100%)

• Scene: 0 to 63

• SynOhr-Value: 0 to 255 (only in Premium edition)

Example: Command WALL-LAMP-BRIGHTER should dim at GA

For the command WALL LAMP BRIGHTER the words must be accordingly entered in
SynOhrStudio. Remember the command number to which you assign this command e.g.
Command 1. A KNX dimmer can vary die lighting in different stages. In the example the stage 5
is to be selected. Therefore the Command1 must be chosen as in Picture 28 . Note: The
comment field is only used for overview of the user. Subsequently the GA in the ETS must now
be specified with the communication object for the Speech Command 1.

Picture 28: Dimming

In the processing of speech commands and ETS commands are separated, the link is internal
only via the command number.

Figuratively spoken: If the recognizer in the example identifies the command WAND LAMP
BRIGHTER the speech recognizer „informs“ the KNXTM part, Command1 was identified. The
KNXTM part follows its parameterization.

Speaker Recognizer KNX

WALL LAMP BRIGHTER → Command1 → Switch KNX group address

In addition to Brighter/Darker dimming can be set with a command of KNXTM part so that a
specific value is written to the bus or call a scene. If on command2 the scene2 is to be called on
the scene group address, so this has to be accordingly configured in the ETS. In SynOhrStudio
can for command2 then e.g. SCENE WINTER GARDEN be defined.

Value Commands

Percentage Output

Picture 29: Call Scene 2

If the command DIMMER SEVENTY PERCENT assigned to a command with SynOhrStudio so
this can now also switch a corresponding value on the bus. The complete control of a dimmer in
10%-steps „needs“ in this way 10 Commands. In the Premium-edition value groups can now be
combined into one command.

Here is the command _PERCENT (note the underscore at the beginning of the word). If this
indicated the percentage is also passed by the recognizer to the KNXTM part of the device. The
possible extensions can be found in SynOhrStudio in the lower left window under „Extensions“.

With these extensions can be put e.g. the command DIMMER _PERCENT in SynOhrStudio on
Commando4 and then the KNX-part can be parameterized via the ETS as in Picture 30 .

Using the speech recognizer some rules must be followed, if an optimal result of the recognition
and the acceptance of the user is to be achieved. An important rule in the parameterization is:

1. Avoid monosyllabic word command

Example: CEILING LIGHT instead of LIGHT

If a command is very short, the recognition quality decreases.

2. Avoid strong similarities

Example1:
WINTER GARDEN SHADING ON
WINTER GARDEN SHADING OFF
Here a relatively long phrase differs (good for recognition) only by ON or OFF.
Additional both words have a determining vocal („O“) in common. Commands must differ
well from each other, so that the recognition quality remains high especially over long
distances.

Counting here the sounds so get to about 22 different sounds, the similarity of the two
expressions is about 21/22 nearly 95 %.

Example2:

LAMELLA UP

LAMELLA OFF

Here are P and F plosive or fricative sounds. Compared to these vowels in the signal
about -20..-30 dB lower or the signal level is only 3 .. 10 % of a vowel. As a human
being „listens“ to the P in UP although very clear but in this case the human brain takes
care for it. Note also the next setting rule.

3. Use the switching function of the KNX-part

Example:
WINTER GARDEN SHADING

This command is placed on a switching object with switching. The window will ascend
when it is closed and vice versa. This avoids problems with the recognition and it is easy
to handle.

4. Avoid too long phrases for the user

Example:
WALL LIGHT instead of WINDOW WALL LIGHT

Even it it is used for recognizing quality, a user does not want to talk too long phrases.
Especially if there is only a wall light in the room, the additon WINDOW in the example is
unnecessary.

5. Concern alternatives

Example:
Is has been parameterized WALL LIGHT and CEILING LIGHT. An improvement of the
recognition quality can be achieved by simply changing to WALL LAMP and CEILING
LIGHT.

6. Use relative commands of the KNX-part

Example:
With the Premium-edition absoluta values can be written directly on the bus, e.g. to set a
lamp on a brightness value. Usually the user will know the value, which he wants to set
not absolute but only relative.
Therefore a DIMMER BRIGHTER / DIMMER DARKER pair for the user is better to use
as a DIMMER _PERCENT. This needs to be clarified with the user.

7. Display bookmarks for commands

During the adaptation phase the user is not knowing all commands. Please put e.g. on

the table a corresponding list.

Important for a trouble-free operation in practice is, that the recognizer does not realize unasked
the keyword. Basically always confusions in the spoken word are possible, e.g. for ENERTEX
there is a great similarity to „A lot tax!“ or for the COMMANDO „Tornado“.The difference
between the word ENERTEX and „A lot tax!“ seems to be enormous for the user, but especially
because the human brain „knows“ , that only ENERTEX represents a valid activation word. The
brain finds easily the critical point „lot“ and „NER” and distinguishs the desired word.

SynOhr MultiSense KNX has user-configurable specifications: The value for the clarity can be
changed or in the expert options of the parameter speech quality activation. If the value is raised
for clarity, the user needs to speak much more clearly, so that the recognizer accepts the
activation word. Here should be noted, that the clarity values always depend on the activation
word. The word ENERTEX can achieve mostly with level 3 a good robustness., however at level
7 the COMMAND is often better.

It should be noted, that then it will be more difficult for the user under circumstances to activate
the recognition, especially for longer distances or ambient noises. Compared with vowels are
e.g. sibilants 10 to 25 times weaker than in the speech signal. Therefore also the distance to the
speaker, besides noise like radio etc. plays a role for recognition.

Parameter Room Size

Override

Another parameter affects the robustness of the recognition: The parameter „Room Size“, which
basically corresponds to the microphone gain. If SynOhr MultiSense KNX is operated in a short
distance (1...4 m), but was configured on large room size so the confusion rate of the recognizer
can slightly increase. In unstable ambients the recognition should only be possible to activate via
keyword, if at least it is spoken with a significant volume. In this case the room size should not
be chosen too large. Additionally can be activated a pulse suppression with the experts setting
„Noise Level“. It is unfavorable in any case, if an activation of the keyword in a low voice is
possible in rooms with high level of interference noises or conversations.

Important: Blue flashing of the ring means „overridden“. Then the recognizer is acoustically
overridden. If this is very often the case please reduce the room size.

Range and Master Slave

Room Acoustics

^SynOhrMultiSenseKNX-Eng-13.odt, 2014-05-06 Page 45 of 49

The maximum range depends mainly on the room acoustics, the place of installation (e.g.
acoustic shadow behind a wall), the speaker volume and also (but less strongly) on the number
of used words. Up to a range of 4 m a everyday use parameterization should be possible even
under difficult circumstances. For the range it is important that it is frontally spoken or from one
side. At lateral coupling the signal over 50 % is worse – therefore a human being is turning
automatically his head towards the speaker. Additionally the similarity of the selected words as
well as the room acoustics are playing a major role. If the noise sources (radio etc.) are louder
and closer to the SynOhr as the speaker a recognition is impossible. If larger areas are
acoustically to be „listened“ it takes several slaves.

Relationships with resonances or room echo are often existing in hallways or tiled rooms and
without wallpaper. With unfavorable parameterization a recognition is possible over long
distances (7..10 m), but this is in practice not robust against inference noises. The parameter
„Room Size“ in SynOhrStudio (comp. page Fehler: Referenz nicht gefunden) adjusts the range.
Finding the optimal range under difficult conditions do not change any other parameters, but
choose the range small in order to adjust gradually the desired sensitivity. At high sound level
the tendency of distorting the signal is internally limited by a limiter. This allows a stable
operation for seldom overrides. If the limiter is constantly active so the keyword recognition
responds on wrong words or is generally not robust. Therefore please avoid a „too large“ room
size.

Commands

The recognition of commands is processed differently than that of the keyword. Here the
recognizer chooses the solution that comes closest to the configured command, this is a
similarity strategy. The strategy provides a great tolerance of speech of commands at their
recognition. If very few commands are used, the tolerance is automatically greater. For example
„LAMELLA DOWN“ can be initiate by the statement „A-HA“. Because of the similarity strategy it
is important that the keyword recognition is robust.

A model representation of the similarity strategy is that of a human being who learns a new
language, but is just knowing „LAMELLA DOWN“. He can only differentiates slightly similar
words more severe than a human being who knows the total vocabulary of a language.

To parameterize the similarity strategy, please change in SynOhrStudio the experts setting
„Speech Quality Command“. If the SynOhr MultiSense KNX should work only with one or two
commands and the similarity strategy is still bothering although the corresponding
parameterization, then we recommend to fill the „unused“ commands with unused words.

The higher the echo in a room is the more important is a good quality of recognition, that the
speaker inserts between each word of a command sequence a little break (<0,4s). This is also
dependent on the similarity of the used words respectively increases a break at similar phrases
distinctness of the words. The recognition quality is to be understood in context of numbers with
their similarity such as between FORTY and SEVENTY in German. The user can improve this
problem by significant pronunciation of the single words even at greater distances.

In summary:

1. The keyword must be parameterized robust, so that

2. the command recognition guarantees with the help of the similarity strategy a high rate
of recognition.

3. The room size may not be chosen too large in reverberant ambient, otherwise the
keyword recognition is wrong.

Both the similarity strategy including the robustness can be customized by the user to his own
needs.

In addition the menu Options an expert mode (Experts) is adjustable. This opens up additional
settings. With an unfavorable choice of settings the recognition of words can be impossible.
Therefore the change of parameters is recommend only to experts. In addition the parameter
may be modified only in small steps and their effect can be directly tested in the object.

The noise level of background noise in the room can be adjusted via the menu item Noise Level
From silent (Silent) up to very loud (Extreme) are nine levels adjustable. This setting chances
the dynamics of the recognition. Basically the speaker must stand out in the higher level
significant from his surrounding, so that a good recognition is guaranteed. Conversely it may be
easier for the user in a soundproofed rooms and very quiet rooms (Silent) the speech
recognition to operate at an appropriate parameterization.

Feedback Time

Feedback Signal

Dynamics

In rare cases and depending on the room acoustics there will be false alarms in children's- or
women's voices. In this case set Noise Level on Talking or – if necessary – Loud.

The length of time until the confirmation to the command is set via the menu item „Feedback
Time“. Overall five levels are adjustable from time-lag (Paralyzed) up to fast (Fast). The
feedback time is the time of break, which the user must wait after spoken the keyword until the
speech recognizer switches in the active mode. A longer feedback time means a higher
robustness for the recognizer against disturbing ambient noises.

In this menu item can be set whether an audible signal upon activation of the SynOhr
MultiSense KNX (Ready Signal) is to be output. The default value is set to 'Yes'. The sound can
be adjusted by individual modifying the file t_ready.wav on the SD card.

In this menu item can be set whether an audible signal to confirm a command sequence
(feedback signal) is to be output. The default value is set to 'Yes'. The sound can be adjusted by
individual modifying the file t_exec.wav on the SD card.

Speakers tend to have a certain dynamics, that means they get lower after the keyword. In order
to counteract this, SynOhr MultiSense KNX can automatically increase the sensitivity of the
microphone after the spoken keyword from Off (no increase) up to maximum (maximum
increase). This improves the recognition of commands in a rather quiet ambient.

Speech Quality Activation

In the menu item „Speech Quality Activation“ can be adjusted, how precisely the keyword for the
activation of the speech switch must be spoken and indeed from the value „Everything“ up to
„Exact“ with increasing accuracy. Similar to the parameter „Clarity“ (comp. page 37) causes this
in the speech recognizer a increased accuracy requirement when speaking the keyword.

Here is used a deviating algorithm, which has an influence mainly on the recognition of

emphasis and the composition of syllables. The robustness can be increased further with this
parameter. In combination with the parameter „Clarity“ a modified threshold of accuracy can be
achieved. This is especially helpful with short keywords such as CLARE or SYNOHR.

If the algorithm is active the display shows from the level HIGH (and larger) „not exact“.
Therefore if the spoken keyword was not recognized and in the display this message appears,
so you should reduce the „Speech Quality Activation“.

In the menu item „Speech Quality Command“ can be determined how exactly the subsequent
command sequence must be spoken and indeed of the value „Everything“ up to „Exact“ with
increasing accuracy. In contrast to the parameter „Clarity“ (comp. Page 37) and „Speech Quality
Activation“ this parameter affects only on the commands. At lower accuracy the words of a
command can be fluently spoken, at high accuracy the words must be clearly spoken. In
addition the recognizer is more tolerant at low level, e.g. CEILINGLIGHT would be recognized as
CEILING LIGHT. The disadvantage at a too low level is, that at a worse signal-to-noise-ratio
(large range, interference noises, softly spoken) under circumstances the spoken command is
incorrectly assigned, e.g. SCENE THREE instead of SCENE TWO.

Acoustic Feedback

A sound for confirmation of the command word or for the confirmation of the execution can be
enabled and disabled. The sound of this itself is a Wave-file, which must be placed under the
name t_ready.wav or t_exec.wav into the main directory of the SD card. The Wave-files must
have the following format: 24kHz sampling frequency, 16 bits, mono.

If the keyword is recognized, then the sound is played t_ready.wav so far this has been
configured or has been chosen with the group address. In this case the ring is flashing yellow for
about 2 seconds. During this time the acutal command has to be spoken.

If the command is recognized, the sound is played t_ready.wav so far this has been configured
or has been chosen with the group addresse. The ring changes to green.
