Reolink and KNX: map commands and feedback to group addresses

The Reolink gateway table in Link’nX maps the group addresses of your KNX project to the commands of a Reolink camera (floodlight, brightness, siren, infrared, PTZ position, reboot) and to its status feedback (floodlight, infrared, motion, person, vehicle or pet detection). A KNX object can then control the camera without going through a scenario.

Intended for the authorized installer or administrator. For a scenario action or a detection trigger, follow the Reolink commands and detections guide instead.

Before you start

• The camera has gone through the Reolink declaration: check in particular the channel and the model’s functions.
• The group addresses and their DPTs are defined in the KNX project. Check them with the installer.

Open the camera’s gateway table

In Devices → Security & Access → Reolink, click the Gateway mode configuration two opposite arrows, to the left of the camera’s pencil.

The KNX table guide describes the address formats, the filters and the Active checkbox in the header, which also acts on hidden rows.

Map the KNX commands

1. In the Actions tab, choose the useful rows using the table below.
2. For each intended row, fill in Address with the KNX group address assigned to this function and check Active.
3. Click the floppy disk at the bottom right before switching tabs. Wait for Succès (Success) with Données sauvegardées avec succès ! (Data saved successfully!).

Actions tab	DPT	Meaning of the value
Floodlight	1.001	1 requests switching on, 0 switching off.
Floodlight brightness	5.001	Percentage from 0 to 100. To request an explicit switch-off, also use the appropriate Floodlight command.
Siren	1.001	1 activates, 0 deactivates.
Infrared lights	1.001	1 allows the infrared to operate automatically, 0 disables it.
PTZ preset	5.010	Integer number of the preconfigured position, from 1. Zero does not designate a position to use.
Reboot	1.001	1 requests the reboot; 0 does not trigger it.

Map the status feedback

1. Open the second tab, with a speech-bubble icon.
2. Map the desired rows to their group addresses and check Active.
3. Save this tab in the same way.

Commands and feedback are separate associations.

Feedback	DPT	Reading
Floodlight state	1.001	Activation state of the floodlight.
Floodlight brightness state	5.001	Percentage reported by the camera.
Infrared lights state	1.001	Infrared allowed or disabled; this state does not tell whether the lamps are lighting at that moment.
Motion, Person detected, Vehicle detected, Pet detected	1.001	State of the corresponding detection, if available on the model.

Check the result

1. Go back to the list, reopen the gateway and review the saved values.
2. Send a command from the bus, for example with the ETS group monitor, and watch the camera: Données sauvegardées avec succès ! only validates the save.
3. Check each feedback on its own group address.

Troubleshooting

• Check the right camera and its channel, the address, the Active checkbox, the DPT and the function actually available.
• Treat missing feedback as missing information, not as a zero value, a stop or an absence of detection.
• The rows are the same for all models: check that the camera has the floodlight, the PTZ motor or the detection concerned.
• For a saved command without effect or a missing detection, follow the Reolink troubleshooting.

If the checks have already failed or if an association remains uncertain, contact support@can-nx.com with the context, the row concerned and the tests done.
