node-red-contrib-knx-ultimate (BETA)

CAUTION, THIS NODE WORKS BUT IT'S STILL IN BETA. EXPECTED STABLE RELEASE IN ABOUT 7 DAYS,

DESCRIPTION

Knx-ultimate is a powerfull device node, all-in-one. It acts as input device as well as output device at the same time.
Based on configuration and msg option, you can achieve all what you need.
You can import your ETS csv file, containing all your group addresses and datapoint types and use it instead of manually create one node for each group address.
Node's settings is divided in 3 parts: common settings, input settings (Node used as input device) and output settings (Node used as output device).

Knx-ultimate is a powerfull device node, all-in-one. It acts as input device as well as output device at the same time.
You can import your ETS csv file, containing all your group addresses and datapoint types and use it instead of manually create one node for each group address.
Node's settings is divided in 3 parts: common settings, input settings (Node used as input device) and output settings (Node used as output device).

COMMON SETTINGS

Gateway

Selected KNX gateway.

Group Address (topic) Example 0/0/1

KNX Group address to read/write to. It's not mandatory if you import the ETS csv file and select Listen to all Group Addresses (using ETS file). Please note that the Group Address will then transmitted to the flow as msg.topic. It can be overridden by msg.knx.destination.

Datapoint

KNX datapoint type (DPT). It's not mandatory if you import the ETS csv file and select Listen to all Group Addresses (using ETS file). It can be overridden by msg.knx.dpt.

Listen to all Group Addresses (using ETS file)

The node will react to all group addresses when used as INPUT, and will notify a message containing a payload correctly decoded using the datapoints specified in the ETS csv file. When used as OUTPUT, it automatically decodes the payload using the right datapoint specified in the ETS csv file.

OUTPUT (sends datagram to the KNX bus)

Output Type

Write: the node will send the payload to the KNX bus as a 'write' message (standard).
Response: the node will send the payload to the KNX bus as a 'response' message (in case you wish to create your own 'response', in response to a read request).

Send a GroupValue read once on connection/reconnect

On connection/reconnection, the node will send a 'read' request to the group address specified on the Group Address or, if Listen to all Group Addresses (using ETS file) is selected, on all group addresses specified on the ETS csv file.

INPUT (listen to datagram from the KNX bus)

React to event GroupValue write

When checked, received writeRequests will be notified

React to event GroupValue response

When checked, received responses will be notified

React to event GroupValue read

When checked, received read requests will be notified, this can be used to create your own response with a Output Type set to 'Response'. Attention: Messages for received read requests have a msg.payload and msg.knx.rawValue with value null.

MSG FORMAT

The Node Device accepts input and output. Below, an explanation of the message's format to be sent to or trasmitted from the node.

YOU CAN SEND THIS TO THE NODE
msg.readstatus=true: Issues a read request to the KNX bus. You'll expect a 'response' from the bus. When you issue a 'read' request, you can only override the group address specified in the Group Address, with msg.knx.destination. If you've selected Listen to all Group Addresses (using ETS file), the node will issue a 'read' request to ALL group addresses specified in the ETS csv file.
msg.payload: issues a write or response (based on the options Output Type above) to the KNX bus.
msg.knx.event: "GroupValue_Write" or "GroupValue_Response", overrides the option Output Type above.
msg.knx.destination: for example "0/0/1", overrides the node's Group Address.
msg.knx.dpt: for example "1.001", overrides the Datapoint option. (Datapoints can be sent as 9 , "9" , "9.001" or "DPT9.001")

THE NODE OUTPUTS THIS TO THE FLOW
The node outputs a message with these data (if the node receives a WRITE telegram):

msg = {
"topic": "1/1/1",
"payload": 0,
"knx": {
"event": "GroupValue_Write",
"dpt": "1.001",
"dptDetails": {
"name": "DPT_Switch",
"desc": "switch",
"use": "G"
},
"devicename": "Kitchen Lamp", --only if ETS csv file is used--
"source": "2.2.2",
"destination": "1/1/1",
"rawValue": [0]
}} 

The node outputs a message with these data (if the node receives a RESPONSE telegram):

msg = {
"topic": "1/1/1",
"payload": 0,
"knx": {
"event": "GroupValue_Response",
"dpt":"1.001",
"dptDetails": {
"name": "DPT_Switch",
"desc": "switch",
"use": "G"
},
"devicename": "Kitchen Lamp", --only if ETS csv file is used--
"source": "2.2.2",
"destination": "1/1/1",
"rawValue": [0]
}} 

The node outputs a message with these data (if the node receives a READ telegram):

 msg = {
"topic": "1/1/1",
"payload": null,
"knx": {
"event": "GroupValue_Read",
"dpt":"1.001",
"dptDetails": {
"name": "DPT_Switch",
"desc": "switch",
"use": "G"
},
"source": "2.2.2",
"destination": "1/1/1",
"rawValue": null
}} 

EXAMPLES

-->> TURN ON AND OFF A LAMP

In this example, this is the node config. AS you can see, the Group Address is 0/0/1 and Datapoint 1.001 (1 bit switch) The message passed to the node is simple {payload=true} and {payload=false}

-->> TURN ON SAME LAMP, BUT USING ETS CSV FILE (IN THE CONFIG NODE)

In this example, we selectet "Listen to all Group Address" in the configuration and we imported the ETS csv File.

The configuration Node

This is the override of some parameters. Note that we do not have specified the datapoint, because the node uses the datapoint read from the ETS csv file.

-->> ISSUE A READ REQUEST TO A SPECIFIED GROUP ADDRESS, USING ETS CSV FILE (IN THE CONFIG NODE)

In this example, we selectet "Listen to all Group Address" in the configuration and we imported the ETS csv File.

The configuration Node

We now issue a 'read' request. Note that the node, can automatically issue a 'read' request if you set the parameter in the config page.
