I terribly frustrated and feel a bit overwhelmed. Loxone always reads the temperature as 5 degrees celsius. I am having problems getting proper temperature values from the integrated thermostats. The data type is set at 9.027 Temperature Sensor, Fahrenheit for each room. In ETS 5, I have configured the four capacitance sensors with individual addresses and the temperature sensor. It doesn't appear that the KNX switches are properly configured in ETS5. In Loxone, I have created an EIB sensor for each temperature KNX device. I am including screenshots of the EIB monitor and of my system. Loxone recognizes the group addresses and shows communication in the EIB monitor. It has been explained that I should stick with Loxone for control and only use ETS5 for KNX configuration. I have even watched German youtube videos with english closed captioning. I have tried to watch or read everything out there. No one on this side of the Atlantic seems to know anything about KNX. I have had to teach myself about KNX, ETS 5 and Loxone and was able to get some of the switches working. He closed his business and did not complete the installation. However, before the installation was completed, my installer was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Three years ago I purchased a Loxone home automation system and KNX switches. I will be grateful for whatever assistance can be offered.I have installed KNX Sentido capacitance switches with integrated temperature.
My WAF is extraordinarily low (wife acceptance factor).
If anyone has any suggestions based on what I have posted or the name of a good KNX installer, please advise. My wife and kids just can't wait for me to resolve the problems. Does anybody have a knowledgeable KNX guru that I can hire to get me over the finish line? Ordinarily, I would struggle until the problem was located.

EtS5 is set up on a Windows PC with remote desktop connection. I have tried to find someone in the United States but KNX is really unknown here.

I really need professional help (the KNX type). We have lived in our house for almost 9 months and we still can't turn on our lights. I know that there are small mistakes being made but without the experience, I don't know where. I have just accepted that the miniserver won't connect until ETS5 is properly configured. If I have the POE IP interface, do I still need a separate power supply? Also, the KNX light on the IP interface does not illuminate.Īs far as the miniserver, I have not been able to connect to it through ETS5. It is POE and I have it connected to a Ubiquiti POE switch. Unfortunately, no.įrom the miniserver, KNX enters the IP interface by a twisted pair of Cat 6. Recently, in my never ending pursuit of KNX functionality, I purchased a N000401 from EIBMarkt I thought that maybe with an IP interface, my problems would be resolved. My miniserver is v1 and it is located in our lower level.
#Loxone knx jalousie update
I will provide an update on my hardware as requested. I didn't receive notification that anyone had responded to my posts. Checkout their KNX Powersupplys ( ) and IP Interfaces IP routers ( ) So for a serious KNX installation i would suggest to buy a additional KNX IP Interface / Router.Ī KNX brand where you get a good bang for the buck is for example MDT. A normal power supply will not work as this would not allow to put data on the same physical wire together with the power.Īnd please note, that depending on the devices, not all devices can be programmed by the miniserver (as programming interface) as the miniserver seems not to fully comply with the KNX standard. As Christian already mentioned, we would need more informations.įor getting the KNX Bus up and running, you will need a "KNX Power Supply" beside the Miniserver on the bus.This (special) KNX Power Supplys creates the electrical KNX Bus environment where all KNX devices (like actors, sensors e.g.
