Export Pool’nX KNX group addresses to ETS (CSV file)

Export to ETS downloads a CSV file with the active group addresses of Pool’nX, statuses then commands, each with its name and DPT. Import it into the ETS project to create these addresses without typing them again, then link them to the objects of the KNX devices.

Intended for the installer who prepares the pool’s ETS project.

Before you start

• The addresses are entered and saved in the KNX statuses and the KNX commands.
• Each row ticked Active has a complete address in X/Y/Z format.
• Close the table you modified: the Pool’nX window then reloads the saved configuration, which the export uses.

Download the file

1. In the Pool’nX window, next to Export to ETS, click the download button.
2. The browser saves a file named poolnx_ets_ followed by a timestamp, in CSV format.

The file contains only the rows ticked Active. Each line gives, in order:

Field	Content
Name	Standard name of the status or command, in the interface language
Address	Group address, last level on three digits, for example 5/1/007
Three empty fields	Not filled in by Pool’nX
DPT	Datapoint type in ETS format, for example DPST-9-1 for DPT 9.001

The file has no header line. The custom names of a Klereo controller are not used.

Import into ETS

1. In ETS, open the project, then the group addresses view.
2. Use the group address import function and choose the CSV file.
3. Check the addresses created and their DPT, then rename them or sort them into your groups if needed.
4. Link each address to the KNX objects concerned: receiving objects for statuses, sending objects for commands.

Check the result

• The number of imported addresses matches the number of rows ticked Active in both tables.
• The DPT of each address matches the DPT column of Pool’nX.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Cause and action
Nothing is downloaded	A row ticked Active has no complete three-level address. Correct it or untick it, save, close the table and try again.
An address is missing	Its row is not ticked Active, or the table was not saved before the export.
A command that was not exported still acts	A command runs as soon as it has an address, even without Active. Clear its address if it must not be used.
