Discovery and Import

To understand discovery and import refer to Agent and Asset Discovery/Import. This protocol supports the following:

  • Protocol Asset Import (*.knxproj)

Each group address in the project file will create a new asset with a single attribute also with the same name (no spaces in attribute name), the attribute type is determined by the following naming convention:

  • Group Address ends with #A - Actuator (executable attribute)
  • Group Address ends with #S - Sensor (read only)
  • Group Address ends with #SA or #AS - Actuator and sensor

Only group addresses using this convention will be imported
