Device: Select the type of device, this option depends on which connectio the EVE sever has to the knx plant;

Address (TCP/IP gateway): IP address of the KNX gateway or serial address (/dev/ttyS1) of the device X1;

Port (TCP/IP gateway): TCP port of the KNX gateway (default: 3671);

or physical address: When usign USB KNX Interfaces or Raspberry addon boards;

Read interval: Waiting time between each group read (250 milliseconds).

KNX Components’ parameters

Virtual feedback: With this flag activated the component act as a device, when it receives a telegram on the write address it generate a telegram on the feedback address. For instance in this example if we receive a message on 1/1/1 we send a feedback to the knx bus with group address 1/1/2 with the same value. This is mainly used to make bridges between protocols. If you don’t have a feedback on your knx device you can set the feedback address to the same as the write address leaving this flag unchecked;

Read bus value on startup: Once the project is completly uploaded in the server, this check box, the server will send a read message to the feedback address.

Write address: Here is where the Write address of the Group object set up in the ETS project will be applyed.

Feedback address: Here is where the Feedback address of the Group object set up in the ETS project will be applyed.
