Homey can connect to a KNX installation with the help of a KNX/IP Interface or KNX/IP Router.
Requirements
- Homey
- KNX/IP Interface (or KNX/IP Router). We recommend the KNX for Homey Kit, which includes a Weinzierl 731 KNX/IP Interface.
- The free KNX Homey App.
Installation of the KNX/IP Interface
Step 1
Place the KNX/IP Interface in a free position on your KNX rail.
Step 2
Connect the KNX/IP Interface to your LAN network using the provided ethernet cable.
Step 3
Connect the KNX/IP Interface to your KNX network using the provided KNX-bus cable. Make sure the colors match.
Configuration of the KNX/IP Interface
1. KNX Address
Please make sure that the KNX Address 15.15.255 is free. This is usually the case. If not, please ask your installer for help.
2. KNX/IP Interface
Ensure the KNX/IP Interface is connected to your LAN network and has an IP address. If not, ensure DHCP is enabled on your internet router or assign an IP manually.
Adding a KNX device to Homey
Step 1
Install the KNX Homey App on Homey.
Step 2
Open the Homey app on your phone and tap Devices in the tab bar.
Step 3
Tap →
New Device in the upper-right corner.
Step 4
Search for KNX and tap its logo.
Step 5
Homey should automatically find the KNX/IP Interface. If this is not the case, you will be given the option to enter the IP address manually.
Step 5
Select the correct KNX/IP Interface.
Step 6
Enter the KNX Group Address of the KNX device you want to add. For example, a light.
Step 7
Repeat this step for any additional KNX device you want to add.
Don't know the Group Address?
Import an ETS configuration file (.knxproj) and select the correct Group Address. You can also select 'Learn' to automatically find a KNX device on the network by repeatedly pressing a button.
