    Hallo,

    wir haben erfreulicherweise Ihre Hardware erhalten.

    Leider finden wir keine Einstellung, um den BACnet UDP-Port zu verändern.

    Können Sie uns zeigen, wo dies möglich ist, denn das ist für unsere Anlagen sehr wichtig.

     

    Außerdem wo finden wir die KNX-Integration im Webserver?

     

    Vielen Dank 🙂

    Dear Mohammed,

    Thank you for posting your question here. We’re happy to help.

    BACnet: At the moment, there is indeed no built-in setting to change the BACnet port, only the network number and device ID. We can certainly add this to the list of feature requests to implement this in a future release. In the meantime, we’ll make sure to manually help you out, I will get in touch via e-mail.

    KNX: The KNX mapper shown at Light+Building 2024 is in its final stages of testing. We like thoroughly test all software before shipping it out to customers. All gateways shipped out from April on will contain the feature by default. Stay tuned!

    Best regards,

    Bram

    Hello Bram,

    I can only say the same for us, the first insights and the handling are very customer-friendly. The interface is simple and straightforward. Connecting a LORA device was also established within a few seconds. We were still waiting for the implementation of the Thermokon devices.

    Back to the UDP port:
    Our customer networks are set up individually with different BACnet networks running on them. We often work with NAT servers. We are currently testing the hardware on our premises so that we can use it for our customers in the future. I think we have made a good choice with you. At the moment, changing the UDP port is not directly necessary, but I am pleased to hear that you would create a patch for us so that we can quickly find a solution. Should it be necessary we will of course get in touch. I have already seen that you have taken up our suggestion. We also welcome the adaptation of the object IDs and object names as well as the writing of BACnet in a LORA (downlink) in the suggestions and look forward to the implementation.

    Finally, I would like to praise you for your quick response and help. I think that we will be able to work well together in the future.

    Mr. Dupuis had already explained KNX to me. I was just curious, of course 🙂

    See you soon

    Best regards
    Mohammed

    Great to hear you’ve already gotten some LoRa devices working. We implemented the Thermokon sensors earlier this week actually, doing some final tests today. Later today, we will release an updated version of the decoder library with full support for Thermokon. I will keep you updated on this.

    Good to know about the NAT, I can see why you might want to change the UDP port. Great suggestion, we plan to add this a setting in the next release (1.4). This release also contains the manual choice of object IDs and object names for BACnet.

    As I mentioned, we’re doing final tests on release 1.4 and plan to start shipping it out in April. We look forward to getting our new software into everyone’s hands! Your feedback is much appreciated.

    Have a great weekend
    Bram

    Update: Version 1.2.7 of the decoder library was just released, which contains all Thermokon decoders. The update is available for download here and can be installed on the gateway under “Software Update”. Once installed, Thermokon can be selected in the manufacturers list and telegrams on the live traffic view will immediately show decoded information.

    Cheers!
