Hello,
for the purpose of the questions here i have simplified my scenario.
knx 2.4 binding;
Is it possible to have many KNX/IP bridges in the same things file?
or many things files with a different bridge in each?
See my simple but functioning things file below.
//TUNNEL
Bridge knx:ip:bridge "room1 Bridge" [
type="TUNNEL",
ipAddress="10.72.5.25",
portNumber=3671,
localIp="10.72.9.239",
readingPause=50,
responseTimeout=10,
readRetriesLimit=3,
autoReconnectPeriod=60,
localSourceAddr="0.0.0"
] {
Thing device genericroom1
[ ]
{
Type switch : lightSwitch "room1 Light" [ ga="2/4/76" ]
Type number : demoTemperature "Temperature" [ ga="9.001:<12/2/54" ]
I would now like to replicate this scenario with many different knx lights, temperatures and other devices. But each room is behind a different knx/ip gateway. (bridge)
i have the following gateways (bridge)
10.72.5.25
…26
…27
…28
…29
…30
…31
…
I would like to just add tunnel connections to each of the bridges.
Am I correct in understanding that a router using multicast rather than tunnel would be a better way to go?
However my openhab is not on the same subnet as the KNX routers. So I guess I would need to change the network router config to fwd knx multicasts from the openhab server to the knx subnet?
If there was a great deal of traffic do i really want lots of irrelevant multicast on all the KNX buses?
i’m just starting out with the KNX binding so any direction is appreciated.
Thanks
