Hi,
I’m, trying to configure a already working KNX configuration.
using different tests I was able to configure all my lights.
With the shutters, it’s more complicated, according to the XKNX documentation I need to configure different address for the shutters, how can I find the current KNX configuration?
Thanks
From the KNX installation’s documentation or the ETS project file. Or if you have a bus interface you can monitor the telegrams to find the group addresses.
I don’t have access to the project, and way to get it from the controller?
I looked at the bus group addresses, couldn’t find the relevant addresses.
If you can get the light addresses, you can also get the shutters addresses in the same way.
The ETS can get you all addresses. Just leave the ETS and the KNX system (no external controller) so no messages besides your button pressing run on the bus. Turn off weather station etc. that sends periodic messages.
Anyway, last time I got an answer from the dev team, the KNX shutters do not have a solution of slat down. It does not work.
My slats working fine.
I have this code:
- platform: knx
name: Living_Room_Blind
move_long_address: '1/2/1'
move_short_address: '1/2/0'
position_address: '4/2/0'
position_state_address: '4/2/1'
angle_address: '4/6/0'
angle_state_address: '4/6/1'
travelling_time_down: 51
travelling_time_up: 61
There few types of shutters. Mine are Hunter Douglas (Netherlands). As I have said the slat down does not work even if this type of configuration is defined. The up is working thus looks like a bug or missing documentation.There are no bus telegrams when running the down slat which implies this is a bug.
I think is not a HA bug, but is some missing config at your KNX actuator.
Do you have position slat object at your shutter actuator, like image below?
Hi.
Sorry for the late response. I was abroad.
I do have them. I added them after digging a lot but it did not change much.
In fact, the slat up works fine and I see a message on the bus monitor (ETS).
When using the slat down, no message runs at all.
I can add that my shutters needs 7 cycles of up and down time in order to self adjust. I enabled it lately but haven’t actually done it yet (7 cycles). I do not believe this is the case.
I can also say the there are 2 types of status reports - Active an d passive. Mine is active although I am not sure what is the difference.
At one time I got an answer from someone on the forum that the slat down is not working yet on some types of shutters. I can try and fine it and send you a link.
