Help on KNX outputs

Configuration

 

On the site "KNX outputs" the objects are configured, which are processed as outputs. Typical devices are switches, dimmers, blinds, etc..

 
  Read KNX outputs cyclically

It is possible to read outputs 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 output a name. The name improves the clarity and enables you to reference this output using the name in another place, for example in scenses, operations or time-delays.

 
  Location

Assign the output to a room. This allows you to quickly navigate between the different outputs 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 output from configuration.

  Gruppenadressen

Different actors have different sets of group addresses. Switchactors have two group addresses. One for switching and one for the feedback. Dimming actuators have up to 5 group addresses, etc..

List of possible groupaddresses:
  • Switching object
  • Value object
  • Dimming object
  • Up/Down object
  • Stop object
  • Step/Stop object
  • Feedback object switch
  • Feedback object value
  • Feedback object value red
  • Feedback object value green
  • Feedback object value blue
  • Feedback object value white

The configuration of a group address is either through the import button to the right of the input field or by manual input.
