EIB Advanced Sensor, would allow you to completely integrate a previously configured ‘Dimmer’.
You don’t want to change anything and you’d like to retain certain existing sensors/push-buttons (for whatever reason). Another example: you are planning to integrate a Miniserver into an existing installation. For example, if you cannot configure your EIB switch to produce a 1 when activated and a 0 when released. However, in some special cases ‘EIB Advanced Sensor’ may be required. Setting up the user interface is then just a few mouse clicks away – this screen shot shows the recommended settings:Ĩ0% of the time you will be using a simple EIB Sensor. In the Properties window of the temperature sensor, set Type to ‘ Sensor/Analogue value EIS5‘. Please be sure to configure the ETS sending parameters for the reading.

Here is an example of an EIB weather station and corresponding temperature value as seen in the Configuration Software and user interface logic. If ‘ Use Remanence‘ is enabled, then the last active state is restored, for example in the event of a power failure. Use ‘Query Status’ sparingly, as it places an unnecessary load on the EIB-bus. In ‘ Query Status‘, you can set the cycle during which a query is sent. If you enable the option ‘ Do not send a response‘, the Miniserver will not send acknowledgements (no EIB confirmation). Here you can set various parameters, including group address and EIS-Type. Clicking on the desired sensor inserts the sensor into the Periphery tree in the ‘ KNX/EIB line’ section.Ĭlicking on Sensor1 opens the ‘ Properties‘ window for that sensor. In the ‘ Periphery‘ tab, you’ll find: an EIB sensor, EIB Extended Sensor and EIB Text Sensor. The screenshot shows a correct status feedback program: If the actuator does not have its own feedback group address, please set the sensor to match the address of the actuator.
If the actuator group has its own feedback group address, set the group address of the EIB sensor to match. Use an ‘ EIB Sensor‘ to return status reports. Likewise, the user interface will display the correct status. If, for example, you turn on a light not through the user interface, but rather using an EIB push-button on the wall, the Miniserver still detects whether or not the light is on. Status feedback is very important for the user interface and the Miniserver, especially when using a Loxone user interface (see specific scenario). Here is an example configuration for lighting and shading using EIB function blocks: The EIB-Sensor/Actuator is automatically created in the ‘ Periphery‘ tree under ‘ KNX/EIB line’.ĮIB FUNCTION BLOCKS IN THE CONFIGURATION SOFTWAREįor the easiest integration and control of your EIB installation please use the built-in ‘EIB function blocks’ in the configuration software. Finally, select either ‘ Create Sensor‘ or ‘ Create Actuator‘. The EIS type is set automatically, but can be changed manually. In ‘ Name‘, enter the desired name for the push-button. The line in yellow highlights the last switch operated with a group address. In ‘Learn Mode’ you can select the desired group address. Do this, then select ‘Learn’ in the EIB window, not ‘Monitor’! You can then quickly and easily insert group addresses for your EIB actuators and sensors. To use the EIB Learn Mode, you must first enable the EIB monitor.
To make this possible the following settings must be set in the ETS Connection Manager.Ĭlicking on the EIB Search function lists all devices that are configured in the EIB installation. The Miniserver is automatically detected by ETS as a gateway. The Loxone Miniserver acts as a full IP gateway which enables you, for example, to program with ETS directly on the local network.
LOXONE MINISERVER KNX SOFTWARE LICENSE
GENERALįor the KNX bus a separate and product specific power supply needs to be used (the KNX/EIB power supply).įor addressing and configuration of the sensors/actuators a full ETS programming software license is required. The number needed depends on the size of the rest of the program. In addition, NAT Mode must be activated in ETS.Īn accurate number of required EIB sensors/actuators will vary. In order to program KNX devices remotely, the following port must be forwarded to the Miniserver: EIB function blocks in the Configuration Software.
