Did you look at the ETS5 project at beointegration.com (controlling BeoSound from a KNX panel)? Maybe you can find a clue there. Khimo is at the forum too, maybe they can provide some guidance?

I want to use this feature too, so please update the thread if you’ve found a solution!

This seems to be the same problem...link

Hi,

I have the BLGW connected (among others) to KNX. The integration works well from BLGW to KNX (e.g. when I press the Lutron button it starts the BLGW macro that is transferred to KNX and it works). I also have the KNX thermostat and CO2 sensor, that I am able to read from BeoLink (so, BLGW can read the specific existing Group address - if the macro is initiated at BLGW).

What I want to do is that pressing the button on KNX wall panel will switch on the BeoLab (It means that the macro is initiated by KNX).   So, I have put BLGW into "capture" mode at Resources page, but cannot get any signal.. The KNX telegrams just cannot be seen in BLGW admin interface.

I have also created the Group Address at ETS and tried to use it as the trigger in Macro. The addresses has the CR-T attributes as described in Help, and I tried both with Virtual Tunnelling and without. No any success.

Does anyone know where to look further?

I never captured a KNX event, but I use several KNX switches (1 bit, dtp 1.00X, on-off) to control other KNX devices, RS232 devices and Beo, of course. I just tested a new macro - event: a KNX wall switch (actually a binary input of a KNX dimmactor) pressing set value true - command: start N.RADIO (BS5 in mainroom) in the musicroom activating a BL active - simply works...

Hope this helps

Stefan

Could you share the ETS and BLx configurations with a screenshot?

I need to decide this month if I go for KNX in my new home so I am slightly anxious now.

Thank you, Stefan,this is actually the solution.

So, the capturing still does not work, but it is actually not needed for me as is.

I have created the needed resources in BLGW (in my case Toggle button and Button works well) using the Group Addresses, already existing in ETS. And then created the macro, so when the resource is activated (set to 1 or 0), it triggers the event.

This works both with native KNX GA (I have added the radio ON command while switching on the light) and with dedicated GA (one KNX wall panel is used only to operate BLGW commands)

Previously I wrote "I have also created the Group Address at ETS and tried to use it as the trigger in Macro. The addresses has the CR-T attributes as described in Help, and I tried both with Virtual Tunnelling and without. No any success" - That was not working since I used the wrong Beo4 command :) so could not see the result.

If you can afford it, go ahead. KNX is much better supported than BLGW :)))

My next plan is to use Gira X1, that should even replace Beolink on iPhone.

Cool, will you be able to control your B&O from the Gira?

I plan to use BeoLiving for basic visualisation and to integrate some Hue lights. iPad with Basalte Eve on the wall for system control. But will have the bus behind it, so I can switch to a KNX panel in future.

I haven't tried yet, but shoud be possible by assigning the list of B&O specific group addresses.

Thanks for the Basalte Eve reference! This is exactly what I am looking for. Though the pricing is higher than expected.

 I am using the iPad with BeoLink 2 now, but not totally happy with it. First, you need to be very careful while tapping, the ocasional change of the scenes is a usual issue. The other thing is that you need to put iPad in kiosk (single app) mode. Otherwise it is annoying for the daily use to login, open the app etc... KNX panel should be better, since it is always ready.

Hello all, we appear to have arrived late to the party!

@Aleksei, glad to hear you got the system working with the addresses. There should not be a problem with the capture feature on the BLGW or on the BLI with KNX products. If you still wish to solve this particular issue please don't hesitate to contact us through here or at support@khimo.com so as to try and find any particularity in your installation that could be making it fail.
