KNX node for node-red

[TheMax74]

Can you send here a zip containing the export of your nodes? Do you know how to do it?

[TheMax74]

And... do you have the latest version of nodered and node.js installed?

[TheMax74]

And... if you're skilled enough, you can paste the content of the attached zip into the .node-red/node_modules/node-red-contrib-knx-ultimate/nodes folder and restart node-red.
The error you told me, is related to the fact that knx-ultimate cannot find the config-node and that's very strange. I wrote a temporary patch. Let me know if it works.

Ciao,
I am using node-red V1.0.6 and your node-red-contrib-knx-ultimate V1.1.72 including the changes, which you sent in your last post.
It runs on my synology NAS on docker.

With your changes the import is working fine. Could I help to find the root cause of the issue, if I send you an export of my nodes?
Thanks for you perfekt support.

Best regards
Stefan

Hallo Stefan
good to hear that!
Yes, send it, it could help if you send it zipped. Thank you!

[TheMax74]

No, STOP. Don't send anything.
I've probably found the path of your issue, after some tests here.
You probably have a knx-ultimate node without a properly gateway config-node set.

The new V. 1.1.73 is out with the official fix.

Has anyone tried RGB (232.600)? I've build a flow where i can set RGB values on both the KNX App i use (EasyKNX) and on the node-red dashboard RGB widget.

When i send RGB values from the App i can see everything in group monitor and node-red updates the dashboard color picker.

When i set the RGB values in the node-red dashboard and RBE is enabled in KNX ultimate i can see nothing on the KNX bus. When i disable RBE i can see the KNX message twice in group monitor? IMHO RBE should be enabled, but then nothing is seen (expect right after deploying - the first "dashboard selcetion" is send correctly, once)


here's how i think the flow should work (it's work in progress) 2/0/0 is the RGB 232.600 GA. Selecting different colors in the Dashboard color picker should send the values to KNX IMHO? i have the feeling the RBE filter doesn't consider if the RGB values change?

or is this just the wrong way to build this? The left node receives from KNX, the right node sends to KNX?

[TheMax74]

Hi mgk
rbe must be disabled in RGB.
Please check that you have disabled the input message passthrough in the color picker node.
I’ll take a look at your code later.

[TheMax74]

How about disabling this?

Hi there!

Thanks for your awesome node!

I am working on an system to track activity in my house based on light. At the moment KNX sets and dimms some lights based on presence-detection and time.
On 23:00 the lights are set to 2% so i dont get flashed on my nighttime-visit in the bath

Thats works fine until we stay up late or have a little party. Preparing for the bed with 2% light sucks. I have to turn the light on by hand. And i dont want to do anything by hand anymore

This is my approach:
Screenshot_20200606_182802.png

"isLightInHouse" is a state i can use in other flows. Works fine. If any light is on the state is set to true, if all lights are off the state is set to false with a delay between 10 and 15 minutes.

Is there a better way to determin if there is any light on? At the moment i have to add the light and change the input number of the "Boolean Logic"-Node.

Greetings

[TheMax74]

Hi Ub
i do the same thing, but starting at 21.00 ‘o clock. I go to sleep very soon!
No, i think your approach is good.
You could maybe link the 2% light to your alarm system. If in night mode, the lights will be dimmed, otherwise not.

[ubpent]

Thank you for your feedback!

[jumper79]

Hi,

i use the trigger-function to switch off the light after x-minutes.

i use your node at the entrance and exit of the trigger.

i have enabled the rbe option on both nodes for input and output.

But I get the error message knxUltimate: Circular reference protection.

[TheMax74]

Hi Jumper. Please see here: https://github.com/Supergiovane/node...Q-Troubleshoot
And then here: https://github.com/Supergiovane/node...i/-Protections

[jumper79]

thanks for the quick replay

i read the faq.

i have activate rbe. i have two filter.
