I'm currently renovating my house and completing my Jung KNX setup.
As I found the young facility pilot quite expensive and confining I went searching for a bus hack to develop myself. (Me and my wife are both C# software architects)
If i were to install a dedicated linux server for media hosting, I could potentially also install linknx and knxweb. That is the easy part.
Now if I want access to my installation my server needs to be linked to my install.
Do I need a special (jung) part for this or do I need to make the component myself?
I have no idea how the link between network and knx is made because at the moment they are two seperate entities.
We would be interested in also developing an asp.net equivalent to knxweb just to entertain ourselves (and the fact that my php kungfu isn't very impressive :))
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
To connect your server to de knx bus you can use different solutions:
- the expensive one, by an ipmodule
- the cheap one, mod a linksys router, solder a bus coupler into the unit, install eibd and you will have an ip connection for about €50,=
- or use your servers RS232 output, by a bus coupler and make a max232 convertion. Just google it and you get lots of information. (I'm using the direct connection without the optocouplers)
Kind regards,
René

The most common way is to add a KNX IP-Router and use eibd on the linux server.
