In January 2014, there was a discussion about developing a do-it-yourself KNX device with help of Arduino and a Siemens buscoppler on the german KNX User Forum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

People where happy and started to develop own stuff. Months later, the idea to have a “over the bus programmable” DIY device rised. Early attempts in extening the DKA TpUart library<\/a> with “property read\/write, memory read\/write” failed with strange timing issues. Again a fews weeks later, a few guys put their heads together to create a new attempt. And this is the documentation about this attempt.<\/p>\n

It’s a complete open source project with an library for Arduino boards that allows KNX access and a smart software tool that allows programming those DIY devices via KNX bus.<\/p>\n

But first of all, this child needs a name:<\/p>\n

KONNEKTING<\/strong><\/p>\n

The name is a wordplay with “connect\u201d, \u201cconnecting\u201d and \u201cIng\u201d, the german abbreviation for “engineer”. If you combine them, you will get \u201cKONNEKTING\u201d.<\/p>\n

KONNEKTING is the generic term for the following two high-level projects:<\/p>\n
