    • OS: Openhabian with openHAB 2.5.4-1

Hey guys I’m trying to integrate the KNX interface in Openhab. Every time when I add the Interface “KNX FT1.2 Interface” the status is “UNKNOWN” or “OFFLINE - COMMUNICATION_ERROR”.
Knxd is running and the ROT extension is working, because I can listen and see on the bus via

knxtool groupsocketlisten ip:localhost

I followed the knxd Raspi 4 readme but on my RPI 4 there is no ttyACM0 interface, just trough the /ttyAMA0.

Interface config:

Bridge knx:serial:bridge [
serialPort=“/dev/knx1”,
readingPause=50,
responseTimeout=10,
readRetriesLimit=3,
autoReconnectPeriod=60
]

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-knxd.rules

ACTION==“add”, SUBSYSTEM==“tty”, ATTRS{id}==“00241011”, KERNELS==“fe201000.serial”, SYMLINK+=“knx1”, OWNER=“knxd”

/etc/default/knxd

KNXD_OPTIONS=“–eibaddr=1.1.128 --client-addrs=1.1.129:8 -d -D -T -R -S -i --listen-local=/tmp/knx -b tpuarts:/dev/knx1”

/etc/default/openhab2

EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS=“-Dgnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts=/dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyS0:/dev/ttyS2:/dev/ttyACM0:/dev/ttyAMA0:/dev/knx1”

Unfortuanelly it also doesn’t change anything if I select everywhere the /ttyAMA0 instead of the /knx1 interface,

Either use knxd and the ip Bridge (with ROUTER or TUNNEL mode to localhost) or the serial Bridge.

Sometime the solutions are so easy :partying_face: Yes, just chooses Ip bridge and changing the ip to localhost solved the problem.

Thank you
