Symbolsteuerung mit HVAC Status

Servus zusammen,

ich verwende Heizungsaktoren von MDT.
Diese geben die Rückmeldung des Reglerstatus im HVAC aus.

Kann ich damit die Symbole der "Heathing Control" steuern?



Vielen Dank im Voraus

Hi Stefan,

BlueHome uses DPT 20.102 for the heating control (both sending and receiving its status). I guess MDT follows the KNX standard and will also be using the same datapoint type. In any case, you could just try it with the free version...

If it doesn't work, please tell me!

Cheers,
Stefaan

Hi Stefaan,

MDT use the "DPT_HVACStatus" (page 181 - KNX Datapoint Types v1.07.00) to report the currently set HVAC Mode.

Switching the icons doesn´t work...

Hi Steffan,

the premises must be divided into floors and a export of the Projekt.

@ADH92

You can add as many rooms as you want...and within every room can you add multiple "pages". So if you only want to work with floors, you could just name the rooms "Ground, Upper and Basement" and use the pages to arrange your devices?

The full version allows you to export the project and import it on other devices.

Cheers,
Stefaan

Sorry, the export function have the export function I've overlooked.

Is it possible, to import the groupaddress fromETS?


I have now the full version and the ex/import of the Blue home project is ok

[Stefaan]

No, unfortunately that is not possible.
I do not have ETS4 myself and ETS3 uses some undocumented database system to store its configuration. I have tried but did not succeed in reverse engineering it. For ETS4, it would be possible to use XSLT transformations to extract the useful information from its XML database, but I do not have access to ETS4 so I was not able to play around with this...

If you look at the export file of BlueHome using a text editor, you will see that it is an XML file. So if you have ETS4 and know something about XSLT, I am sure you could write something to extract datapoints from ETS4 and put them in the bluehome config file...

[ADH92]

I have the ETS3...

The App is good.


A widget would be nice

Hallo Stefaan,

ist ja wirklich eine sehr gelungene KNX-App mit perfekter Optik, ich habe das Ganze heute mal ein wenig getestet mit Android 4.1.2, solange man über WLAN verbunden ist funktioniert es sehr gut, leider funktioniert es per VPN gar nicht, es wird keine Verbindung gefunden.
Normalerweise ist es ja so das das Handy auch eine IP hat, bei einer VPN-Verbindung wechselt diese IP auf eine andere, man kann bei deinen Einstellungen die Handy-IP aber nicht eingeben, bzw. ich glaube das deine App die beim ersten einstellen irgendwie speichert.
Wenn man nun die VPN-Verbindung beendet und wieder mit WLAN verbunden ist dann funktioniert die App auch nicht mehr bzw. findet keine Verbindung, erst nach einem Neustart des Handys funktioniert es wieder ganz normal.
Ich hoffe es ist möglich die VPN-Funktion noch hin zu bekommen, für diese wirklich perfekte App, ach ja bei meiner KNX-Installation habe ich keine speziellen Status Gruppenadressen sondern der Status sollte über dieselbe GA gelesen werden, wäre nicht schlecht wenn dies noch ginge !

Wünsch Dir noch ein schönes WE.

Gruß Jürgen


Hi Stefan ,

is really a very successful KNX app with perfect optics, today I have the whole thing a little bit tested with Android 4.1.2 , as long as you are connected via WiFi it works very well , unfortunately it does not work via VPN , there is no connection found .
Normally, it is so that the phone also has an IP , with a VPN connection, this IP will change to another , you can see the mobile - IP but not entering in your settings , and I think that your set when the app first somehow stores .
Now if you are finished , the VPN connection and then reconnected to WiFi , the app also does not work or will not connect until you restart the phone it works normally again .
I hope it is possible , its VPN feature yet to get out of this really perfect app , oh with my KNX installation , I have no special status group addresses but the status should be read through the same GA, would not be bad if it still would !

Wish you have a nice weekend .

Greeting from Jürgen

I have a problem.

Some actuators have no status exit. In the app, you can not take
one group address as operating address and status adress.

The jalousie drive in the wrong direction.

What did you mean? The shutter button works fine, i can not find some wrong direction.
