KNXNET

knxnet is a Python3 library to create and decode KNXnet/IP datagram for Tunnelling.

Then you can send/receive the frames to/from a KNXnet/IP gateway with UDP.

This library was developed to suit the needs of the project HES-SO/EMG4B. It is not complete and some commands/parameters are missing.

Installation

python setup.py install

Usage

• To create a frame you can use the factory:

    BinaryFrame = create_frame(SERVICE_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR, *param)

• To decode a frame:

    KnxnetObject = decode_frame(frame)

then you have access to all fields in the KNX frame

• The following SERVICE_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR are available, with the required parameters for frame creation:

 * CONNECTION_REQUEST:
    create_frame(ServiceTypeDescriptor.CONNECTION_REQUEST,
                 CONTROL_ENPOINT,
                 DATA_ENDPOINT)

- CONNECTION_RESPONSE:
    create_frame(ServiceTypeDescriptor.CONNECTION_RESPONSE,
                 CHANNEL_ID,
                 STATUS,
                 DATA_ENDPOINT)

- CONNECTION_STATE_REQUEST
    create_frame(ServiceTypeDescriptor.CONNECTION_STATE_REQUEST,
                 CHANNEL_ID,
                 CONTROL_ENPOINT)

- CONNECTION_STATE_RESPONSE
    create_frame(ServiceTypeDescriptor.CONNECTION_STATE_RESPONSE,
                 CHANNEL_ID,
                 STATUS)

- DISCONNECT_REQUEST
    create_frame(ServiceTypeDescriptor.DISCONNECT_REQUEST,
                 CHANNEL_ID,
                 CONTROL_ENPOINT)

- DISCONNECT_RESPONSE
    create_frame(ServiceTypeDescriptor.DISCONNECT_RESPONSE,
                 CHANNEL_ID,
                 STATUS)

- TUNNELLING_REQUEST
    create_frame(ServiceTypeDescriptor.TUNNELLING_REQUEST,
                 DEST_GROUP_ADDR,
                 CHANNEL_ID,
                 DATA,
                 DATA_SIZE)

- TUNNELLING_ACK
    create_frame(ServiceTypeDescriptor.TUNNELLING_ACK,
                 CHANNEL_ID,
                 STATUS)

• Parameters type:

  CONTROL_ENDPOINT is a Hpai object or a tuple with IP as string and port as int: through NAT, put everything to zero ('0.0.0.0', 0)

  DATA_ENDPOINT is a Hpai object or a tuple with IP as string and port as int: through NAT, put everything to zero ('0.0.0.0', 0)

  CHANNEL_ID is a byte

  STATUS is a byte: 0 = all ok

  DEST_GROUP_ADDR is the destination group address as string '16/5/2' or as GroupAdress object

  DATA is a datapoint type (only boolean and 8 bit unsigned are currently supported)

  DATA_SIZE in byte

Example

Check Actuasim project to see an example of use of the knxnet library. The main application work as a server. A sample client can be found in tests folder.
