Managing KNX Devices via HDM (Deprecated)
You can manage KNX devices via the Home Device Manager APIs.
To do that, you must first configure the KNX HDM support.
Configuring the KNX Module for Management via the Home Device Manager
Using KNX HDM support, you can control KNX devices via the Device Access abstraction layer, along with devices from various other home protocols.
Managing KNX Devices via HDM
Setting up the Environment
Initial Setup procedure.
- The user imports the ETS project file into the KNX HDM Adapter.
- The KNX HDM Adapter registers the KNX devices from the project in HDM.
Sending Data
Sending data frames to a KNX device via HDM.
- The user sends a command to a KNX device from HDM.
- Using the information from the ETS project, the KNX HDM Adapter transforms the command into a KNX frame.
- The KNX HDM Adapter then sends the KNX frame (check the Sending Data section ).
Receiving Data
Receiving data frames from a KNX device via HDM.
- The KNX HDM Adapter receives a data frame from a device.
- Using the information from the ETS project, the KNX HDM Adapter finds the Device Class Object property that corresponds to the frame's Group Address.
- The KNX HDM Adapter updates the value of the property using the information from the frame.
For more information about HDM device management see the Home Device Manager User Guide.
