KNX

You can also configure scenario on ETS software and simply enter its Write address on Scenario component’s properties. This is the case of a Scenario component configured with KNX gateway.

Here is a component’s properties sample made by using KNX gateway.

Read bus value on startup: please refer to “KNX protocol” guide;

How to set up a virtual scenario

Add the scenario within the My components area and make sure it has EVE-GHOST as its gateway.

Adding the scenario to project within the Ilevia Manager configuration software

Then add the component you want to manage with the scenario. Then choose which action the component you added will do once the scenario is triggered.

Adding the components inisde the scenario action window in order to make a sequence of action once the scenario is triggered

If you need you can also add delays between actions. The dealy can be set with Minutes, Seconds or Millisends.

Adding delays to the scenario actions in the Ilevia Manager

How to set up the loop option in the scenario

Once you ckecked the Loop checkbox it will be asked to add an initial delay inside the Scenario’s Actions, as default the delay will be set to 5 second.
