Homey can connect to a KNX installation using 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 comes with Weinzierl 731 KNX/IP Interface.
- The free KNX Homey App.
Installation of the KNX/IP Interface
Step 1
Place the KNX/IP Interface in an available slot 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 wire colors match.
Configuration of the KNX/IP Interface
1. KNX Address
Make sure that the KNX Address 15.15.255 is available. 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 and has an IP address. If not, make sure DHCP is enabled on your internet router or assign an IP address 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 not, you can enter the IP address manually.
Step 6
Select the correct KNX/IP Interface.
Step 7
Enter the KNX Group Address of the KNX device you want to add. For example, a light.
Step 8
Repeat this step for any additional KNX devices 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.
