    Hi,

    I would like to know which datapoint types are of interest for linknx users.
    You can find the complete list of standardized datapoints here:
    http://www.knx.org/fileadmin/downloads/03%20-%20KNX%20Standard/KNX%20Standard%20Public%20Documents/03_07_02%20Datapoint%20Types%20v13%20AS.zip

    Datapoints already implemented in linknx are:
    DPT    | EIS num   | Name
    1.001  | EIS1      | DPT_Switch
    3.007  | EIS2      | DPT_Control_Dimming
    5.010  | EIS6      | DPT_Value_1_Ucount
    9.0xx  | EIS5      | DPT_Value_xxxx
    10.001 | EIS3      | DPT_TimeOfDay
    11.001 | EIS4      | DPT_Date
    16.000 | EIS15     | DPT_String_ASCII
    20.102 | heat-mode | DPT_HVACMode

    If you see another one that could be interesting, tell me. I don't think it's useful to implement them all, but want to know which ones are useful.

    Regards,

    Jean-François

      Hi,
      I use
      EIS1, EIS2, EIS3, EIS4 in their typical way. (EIS1 also for the feedback value of switches...)
      EIS5: for the measures (weather-station, light sensor for blind control, temperature)
      EIS6: for direct setting of light (dimmers) or as percentage for closing of blinds depending on light sensor values)

      BR, Jens

      by the way: I have a "90% powernet to 10% twisted pair" - installation, since I installed EIB in a 30 year old house... thus I mainly use the Busch Jaeger (abb) "powerproject" instead of the ETS, which provides richer BCU options, but hides all the EIS details... so for me the EIS1-6 are enough :-)

      Hello Jean-François,

      a Jung RCD room-controller is using the following types:
      1.xxx,1.001,1.003,1.007,1.008,1.019,1.100
      3.007
      5.xxx,5.0xx,5.001,5.010
      6.xxx,6.0xx,6.010
      7.xxx
      8.xxx
      9.xxx,9.001,9.004
      10.001
      11.001
      12.xxx
      13.xxx
      14.xxx
      16.00x
      18.001
      20.102

      From my side 7.001, U16, DPT_Value_2_Ucount looks like an useful supplement.
      Or making the list even more complete 12.001, U32, DPT_Value_4_Ucount;
      maybe even 14.xxx, F32, DPT_Value_xxx.

      best regards
      Michael

      Hello Jean-François,

      I just noticed that one of my room enthalpy sensors
      uses either
      2bytes(DPT 9.001) or
      4bytes(DPT 14.068, EIS9)
      for room temperature.
      But it uses EIS9 for humidity, which is not changeable to 2bytes.
      So support for EIS9 would be really helpful.

      best regards
      Michael

      Hi,

      I have added support for a couple of new data-types. 32 bit IEEE floats, 8, 16 and 32 bits signed and unsigned integers. Now I use the numeric datatypes as described in
      http://www.knx.org/fileadmin/downloads/03%20-%20KNX%20Standard/KNX%20Standard%20Public%20Documents/03_07_02%20Datapoint%20Types%20v13%20AS.zip

      For example "EIS1" is replaced by "1.001" , "EIS5" by "9.xxx", "EIS10" by "7.xxx".
      For "EIS6", the replacement is "5.xxx" but if you use "5.001", the value displayed will be between 0 and 100 instead of 0 and 255. If you use "5.003", the displayed value will be between 0 and 360.

      I hope I'll be able to make an official release in the coming weeks, but I still have a couple of things to fix before.

      Regards,

      Jean-François
