bOS Values for 1byte are different in KNX
Hey,
Our client wanted to change ventilation speeds from the thermostat. Ventilation runs on Modbus everything else is on KNX bus.
This may be a really stupid question but... i found that when i put a value for 1byte in bOS 1 then KNX sees it as 3 and value 2 as 5. But in bOS it shows the correct values. Ventilation has 3 speeds that we control (0 is for away, 1 is home, 2 is guests) I made some screenshots.
In bOS
Shows as correct value in bOS
But in KNX sees it as 3 and value 2 as 5 in knx
Is this normal or am i missing something?
I got it working though by changing the values in the Thermostat to 3 and 5, there is no problem with value 0 :) . So now every thermostat shows the correct status and from every thermostat they can change the ventilation speeds. But I find it weird that it changes the values like that.
Best regards.

reduce max brightness during night?
Hi,
I want to reduce the maximum brightness (of lights in a group) to 50% instead of 100% during night.
Anyone an idea how to configure this?

buttons & lighting "night mode"
Hello,
I'd like to use the night mode in the buttons (light up and night).
and at the same time i wan't to have the lighting in the bedroom area (toilet, bedrooms, halway,..) to work at ca. 40%.
All lights are DALI dimmable.
I made a group 3/3/4 night buttons where i put the 4(general) LED - brightness mode in.
What do i have to do in bosconfig for the nightmode buttons and what for the lights to go max. 40%?
Thanks,

Error importing EIB devices from .esf
Hi,
When I import the .esf file in bOS Configurator I get the error "Error importing EIB devices from .esf" I use ETS5, I tried with very simple knx program.

error connecting to KNX device
Hello,
I'm getting many "error connecting to KNX device".
On my first system (Grinder), this is happening from times to times, for a very short period of time (<1 min).
This is not impacting the good operation of the system, except if this happening when bOS needs to issue a KNX command, but that's very rare, and then I noticed an impact only once.
I thought that maybe this was linked to my IP network that needed some troubleshooting.
But I've got another system, a KNX Jigsaw, for which the KNX error connecting to device is occurring every 2 minutes ! The KNX interface being incorporated into the Jigsaw, this can't be an issue with my environment.
I'm not using KNX on this Jigsaw, so I just disables the KNX interface, and problem was fixed for me.
Still I would like to understand how to fix these "error connecting to device" incidents.
I'm also getting them from times to times for all IP-connected devices: global Caché, Philips Hue, Denon amplifier, etc...
Thanks,
François
