Help on EnOCean inputs

Configuration

 

On the "EnOcean inputs" the objects are configured, which are processed as inputs. Typical devices for inputs are motion sensors , switches, window contacts, etc..

 
 
  Name

Give the input a name. The name improves the clarity and enables you to reference this input using the name in another place, for example in the operations or time-delays.

 
  Location

Assign the input to a room. This allows you to quickly navigate between the different inputs of the SmartHome server by using system telephone or app.

  Type

The type determines the behavior of the object.

  Datapointtype

The datapoint type determines the range of values and possibly the unit that is used in the visualization.

  Settings

You can use the symbol to expand the configuration screen to include further settings. You can use the symbol to hide these settings again.

  Delete

By pushing the delete button, you remove the input from configuration.

  Product-Signature

Here you can select the type of sensor. If your device is not listed, you can try it with the setting "Universal switch".

  Receive-ID

Every telegram, sent by the sensor, has a unique ID. This ID has to be entered here, so that the Smart Home Server can evaluate the received data.
Right next to the field you will find an import button. This allows you to select one of the last received IDs.

  Channel

Various sensors, e.g. the universal switches, have more than one channels. If no input field appears, no channel setting is required for the selected sensor.

  Invert

Each binary input can be inverted.

  Initial Value

From the start of the system until the reception of the first date the smarthome server treats the status of the input as undefined. This has consequences for the gates. Gates with an undefined input are not executed.
This selection allows you to configure an initial value for binary sensors, which is used until the first receipt of a telegram.

FAQs

 

Where can I get the ID of the sensor that needs to be configured under "Receive ID" ?
Mostly you will find the ID on a label at the sensor. If not, then force the sensor to send one or more messages. With the Import button, you can select the id from the most recently received ones.
