Weinzierl KNX BAOS Module 838 kBerry ... with OH2 and KNX2

martmiwp · May 1, 2018, 5:46pm

Hi all,

I bought some time ago the Weinzierl KNX BAOS Module 838 kBerry … hoping to make this run with OH2.

The goal was to have all on board to connect to the KNX BUS - without additional hardware.

Today I sat down - and could make it run.
What to do:

I am running: openHAB 2.3.0 Build #1268 - but earlier versions might work already
run “sudo openhabian-config” and install “optional Components” --> 27 - knxd
edit sudo nano /etc/default/knxd
change one line to: KNXD_OPTIONS="–eibaddr=1.1.44 --client-addrs=1.1.45:5 -d -D -T -R -S -i --listen-local=/tmp/knx -b ft12cemi:/dev/ttyAMA0"
–> careful: the line does not end with tpuarts …
(1.1.44 is the pysical address of the module, 1.1.45… are more clients - must be free in KNX)

After changing knx.things to the local ipaddress and the free address 1.1.99 it is running !!
(my openhabian is …129)
Bridge knx:ip:bridge [
ipAddress=“192.168.1.129”,
portNumber=3671,
localIp=“192.168.1.129”,
type=“TUNNEL”,
readingPause=50,
responseTimeout=10,
readRetriesLimit=3,
autoReconnectPeriod=1,
localSourceAddr=“0.0.0”
] { …here the devices …
}

More beef at:

… Great !!! Thanks all for your support
Greetings
Michael

Can I change localIP and ipAddress to 127.0.0.1? Or use dns name?

Dear Michael,

I have also this module.
I think you can make it work with KNXD, but i think Knxd is diffucult to configure and make the project.
Because some installers had written as this.
So i want to work it with new paper ui and its knx binding.
I have installed it with new openhab and tried so hard, it seems green now in things page.
But it doesn’t control the Knx equipment, i think there is a small problem, so it can’t work.
How can i work it ?
Is there anybody who can help me?

Thanks,

Hi Mehmet,

yes - knxd has many options, but the installation via the openhab config and the change of /etc/default/knxd is all what I did - plus a reboot.

DON’t get confused by paperUI messages. Only the gateway is online - and this is what you shoud achieve frist.
The device/devices can be unknown or offline.
Just start with a simple switch …

Is the green LED on the board flashing that you see traffic?!!

Michael

mehmet_ozdemir · October 3, 2018, 11:38am

Yes it is flashing when i pushed the normal knx switch.
also when i created the simple switch item via paper ui and want to control over “control” section in paper ui, its host led is blinking but knx led is not.

martmiwp · October 3, 2018, 11:50am

Is the gateway in the list of things and online? This is the frist step.

mehmet_ozdemir · October 3, 2018, 11:57am

Yes i have added it via paper ui as Knx FT 1.2 gateway and i have selected the ttyAMA0.

My knx.thing file looks like this (…129 is the raspberry pi)

Bridge knx:ip:bridge [
ipAddress=“192.168.1.129”,
portNumber=3671,
localIp=“192.168.1.129”,
type=“TUNNEL”,
readingPause=50,
responseTimeout=10,
readRetriesLimit=3,
autoReconnectPeriod=1,
localSourceAddr=“0.0.0”
] {
Thing device generic_1_1_14 "KNX 1.1.14" @ "KNX" [  address="1.1.14", fetch=true, pingInterval=0, readInterval=3600 ] 
{
    Type switch : ze_ruheschaltung 			"Türklingel"					[ ga="0/3/6" ]
}}

Hello Michael

I think you had installed the knxd.
I haven’t intalled it.
I have just installed the knx 2.3 binding via paper ui.
And my thing file is already empty.
So what should i do?
And i want to learn this, can i work the kberry with openhab knx binding or can’t?

Thanks for your kindly answers

martmiwp · October 3, 2018, 3:55pm

OK … now we are in synch …

Open a command line and enter: sudo openhabian-config
Select: 20 - Optional Components
Select: 27 - knxd
Answer the question: Perform patch with “N”
… get a pizza / wait at least 45 min …
Now
edit sudo nano /etc/default/knxd
change one line to: KNXD_OPTIONS="–eibaddr=1.1.44 --client-addrs=1.1.45:5 -d -D -T -R -S -i --listen-local=/tmp/knx -b ft12cemi:/dev/ttyAMA0"
Reboot and type: ps -eaf | grep knxd
You should see the knxd running …

Enjoy!

mehmet_ozdemir · October 3, 2018, 4:09pm

Ok.Understood
I will install it.
But i want to ask you, without knxd, with openhab 2.3 knx binding, isn’t it possible to run kberry?

Thanks

mehmet_ozdemir · October 4, 2018, 7:11am

Dear Michael,

I have installed the Knxd and created the things file.
So how should i create the item and sitemap file,
Is there any example, could you send yours ?

Thanks,

mehmet_ozdemir · October 4, 2018, 8:27am

Knxd gives error

martmiwp · October 4, 2018, 10:49am

Did you do all the steps from the top of this page?
Have you applied the changes to /etc/default/knxd ?

mehmet_ozdemir · October 4, 2018, 11:01am

yes
I think the error changed

mehmet_ozdemir · October 4, 2018, 11:07am

My knxd file

And thing file

Bridge knx:ip:bridge [
ipAddress=“127.0.0.1”,
portNumber=3671,
localIp=“10.1.1.54”,
serialPort="/dev/ttyAMA0",
type=“TUNNEL”,
ignorelocalevents=true,
readingPause=50,
responseTimeout=10,
readRetriesLimit=3,
autoReconnectPeriod=1,
localSourceAddr=“1.1.44”
] {
Thing knx:device:bridge:generic {
Type switch-control : demoswitch1 “demoswitch1” [ ga="<2/0/8" ]

         }
   }

martmiwp · October 4, 2018, 11:16am

The knxd file:
The “#” at the beginning of each line makes this a comment.
So this file contains a number of comments - just remove the # and the blank in front of line 2 … to activate this line.

reboot and look for knxd running

mehmet_ozdemir · October 4, 2018, 11:29am

Is it true now ?

mehmet_ozdemir · October 4, 2018, 11:55am

I think it is working now, but it made a lot of bus traffic.

mehmet_ozdemir · October 4, 2018, 3:13pm

Hello Michael,

It is working ok., but it is making non necessary bus traffic.
Is there any solution for this problem ?

Thanks
