As a decentralized system, all other devices will keep working when one or more devices fail.īoth solutions are easily expandable over time.KNX is an open standard, which implies that it will probably outlive most of the hardware.There are multiple options available in terms of software: Savant Systems, Control4, and even open-source solutions like Home Assistant and OpenHAB can communicate with KNX to add extra layers of functionality.There's a vast range of styles, options and brands to choose from, going from budget options to luxury. Free choice in hardware and manufacturers leaves a lot of room for personal touches and styles.Still, I may well be getting a second one of these as we continue with our house extension project.On the other hand, because everything needs to be planned and wired in advance, choosing for KNX is a long-term choice as well, even though it leaves more room for future expansion: Are there options that don't go through the Loxone interface but still work with the miniserver as a knx gateway? If anyone has any tips on visualising KNX status that would be appreciated. This actuator has lots of functionality I'm not using due to the limited KNX implementation in Loxone (including scenes, alarms, absolute positioning, auto-shading for sun based on window orientation and geographic position, etc.), but really the only one I miss right now is status no way to tell if the shade is open or closed. I added a separate Switch function block for each blind to enable/disable the automatic function (with AND logic function block with Switch and memory flag as inputs). The issue of not having a Completely Up or Completely Down function I resolved by putting a delay on the memory flag input to make it look like a long push which works fine. Tasterbetrieb mit kurzem / langem Tastendruck und 2 Objekten. Senden der Werte, Zwangsfhrung und Schaltbefehle einstellbar. Schlieer- oder ffnerbetrieb, Lnge des Tastendruckes einstellbar. I've defined Memory Flags to make certain blinds open and close at dawn and dusk, but there is no CU (Completely Up) or CD (Completely Down) inputs on the EIB Blinds object to make it open or close with that pulse.Īny suggestions? Anyone successfully integrated this device into a Loxone setup ?įollow up: Been using it for a few months and am fairly happy. Die Tasten sind als Tastenpaar oder Einzeltasten frei einstellbar. With the Loxone EIB Blinds object and a pushbutton, I need to hold the button down for travel it does not latch as the manual buttons do, and which I would prefer.ģ. The manual buttons on the MDT device work well a short push "bumps" the shutter up or down, and a long push makes it continue to end of travel either open or closed. ![]() I tried the AQs "Short term operation" output as well with no difference in operation.Ģ. I see the button input going to the EIB Blinds object in LiveView, and I see the output change to "0" (for Up) to the KNX actuator object, but the MDT relay does not engage and the shutter doesn't move. Pushing the pushbutton assigned to "Down" makes the shutter go down (cheers!), however pushing the button assigned to "Up" doesn't do anything. On the Loxone side, I created an EIB/KNX actuator, giving it the group address for the first shutter control in the MDT device, added the "EIB Blinds" object to my room, and made a connection between "AQI" (longterm operation) output and the actuator object, then removed the connections from the pushbuttons currently used for a rolling shutter, and made them inputs to the EIB Blinds object for Up and Down.ġ. I connected a shutter to the MDT device and tested it using the (very handy) manual controls to open and close the shutter. On the knx side, I used ETS5 to define the knx project, downloaded the MDT JAL-810.02 catalog info from the MDT site, defined group addresses for up/down for each channel, and downloaded this into the device. Finally got around to trying to get the MDT device integrated for rolling shutter control and am running into some issues.
