Link’nX KNX-IoT gateway: KNX integrations and scenarios

Link’nX is the Can’nX KNX-IoT gateway: it bridges IP devices and the installation’s KNX bus. The guides cover access to a project and its gateway, uploading ETS group addresses, building scenarios from triggers, conditions and actions, KNX functions and the integration of third-party devices: audio, cameras, intercoms, air conditioning, EV chargers, blinds.

Getting started

1. Open Link’nX with the access provided for your project and your gateway. Before making any change, check both names at the top of the page.
2. Find the sections: Triggers, Conditions, Actions, Scenarios and Functions for automation, Devices for integrations, sorted by category. A padlock on a card means that the interface does not show its license as active for this context.
3. Export the group addresses from ETS and upload the XML file, 1 MB at most, then filter the addresses to offer in configurations.

Main tasks

Build automations

A scenario starts on at least one trigger, can be restricted by conditions, then runs its actions.

Element	Guide
KNX trigger, at an exact time, solar, by HTTP URL or on a device event	Create a trigger
Condition on dates, a time range, days and months, day or night, a KNX value	Create a condition
KNX action on one or more group addresses	Prepare a KNX action or generate actions from ETS addresses
Assembly, order and delays	Compose a scenario, then set the order and delays

A Hysteresis or Presence detection function monitors source addresses and directly commands a target address, without a scenario: create a function.

Integrate devices

Each integration is declared in Devices, then used, depending on the brand, in actions, triggers or a KNX gateway table. This table maps each command and each status feedback to a group address, with the DPT set by the function. The procedures are grouped by use: Audio and multimedia, Heating and air conditioning, Access control, Security and video surveillance, EV charging, Lighting, blinds and shutters. All brands are listed in Integrations.

Operate the installation

• Run an action or a scenario sequence: the command is executed on the installation.
• View the scenario history.
• Copy a share link, valid until the date displayed, to be sent only to an authorized recipient.
• In Boss’nX, a component datapoint can run a Link’nX action or scenario: see the Boss’nX page.

Troubleshooting

• Login error. Redirection to Can-nx.cloud…: let the redirection complete, then request valid access for the intended context.
• Troubleshoot an action, a function or ETS files and filters.
• For an integration, start from its brand page, which points to its troubleshooting guide when there is one.
