Help on KNX inputs

Configuration

 

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

 
  Read KNX inputs cyclically

It is possible to read inputs cyclically. With this switch you can enable or disable cyclic reading.

 
  Cycle time in seconds

Here you can set the cycle time for the cyclic reading.

 
  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.

  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.

  Address

Here you can configure the group address of the KNX input. This can be done either through the import button to the right of the box or by manual input.

  Invert

Each binary input can be inverted.

  Read

If the sensors used to support the reading of the state, you can activate it here. The sensor is then read at the start of the system and, if configured, at fixed time intervals.

  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. This configuration setting is only available for binary sensors .

FAQs

 

Why are import buttons next to the name field and group address not available ?
These switches are available only if data has been imported. The data can be imported under "KNX / Import from ETS".
