These commands can be used on a generic button, inside the logic module, with the universal gateway, etc. Some objects, like Sonos Manager, will also allow you to read statuses from the devices by using an Analog Value interface object or an Extended Command The commands/Statuses are grouped into 5 categories: System Reports and Gateways Internal Services Multimedia Security The category will only be visible if the related objects have been added inside the System tab. Figure 1: Thinknx Objects Commands System The available commands when selecting the System category are the following: Send KNX Bit telegram This command is used to send a 1 bit value to the KNX bus. KNX Group Group address to sen the value. KNX value Can be either 1 or 0. Send KNX Byte Telegram This command is used to send a 1 byte value to the KNX bus. KNX Group Group address to send the value. KNX value Can be a value between 0-255. A generic button can be configured to send a fixed dimming value to a dimming circuit, for example sending the value 128 to make the light go to 50%. Send KNX Float 2 Byte Telegram This command is used to send a 2 byte float value to the KNX bus. KNX Group Group address to send the value. KNX value Can be a value between -671088,64 and 670760,96. A generic button can be configured to send a fixed temperature value to a thermostat, for example sending the value 21.5 as a setpoint. Send KNX Float 4 Byte Telegram This command is used to send a 4 byte float value to the KNX bus. KNX Group Group address to send the value. KNX value Send KNX String Telegram This command is used to send a string of 14 bytes to the KNX bus. KNX Group Group address to send the value. KNX value string text to be entered. Send KNX 4 Bit Telegram This command is used to send a 4 bit value to the KNX bus. KNX Group Group address to send the value. KNX value Can be a value between 0 and 15. A generic button can be configured to decrease (value 0-7) or increase ( value 8-15) a light dimming value. It can also be used to change a shutter position (use values 0-7 for UP, and 8-15 for DOWN). For example, sending the value 5 to a dimmer will decrease the brightness by 6%, while sending the value 10 to a shutter will lower its position by 50%. Read KNX group address This command is used to read a value from the KNX bus. KNX Group Group address to read the value from. Make a pause for a fixed interval This command pauses the system for a specified time interval configurable in milliseconds. Interval Time interval in milliseconds. When saving a scene, sometimes a pause between two commands is necessary, for example, when saving the TV channel number. Another use of the Pause application would be before turning off the final light in a Goodbye scene, making sure that the client has left the house. Change UI Function and Page: GENERAL This command allows to redirect all clients to a specific function and page. Function insert the Index number of the destination function. Page insert the Index number of the destination page. Using the Universal Gateway, a scenario can be configured to redirect the users to the Main Entrance camera page whenever the doorbell rings. Change UI Function and Page: SPECIFIC CLIENT This command allows the specific client who has sent it to access a certain function and page. Function insert the Index number of the destination function. Page insert the Index number of the destination page. Invisible generic buttons can be placed on the house plan for each room, allowing every single client to navigate through the rooms by clicking on each area. Send Push Notification This command allows to send push notifications to the clients. By accessing the web page of the server and clicking on Server –> Licenses and Codes, it is possible to enable/disable the receipt of push notifications for each client. Message insert the message to be displayed on the clients. Maximum number of push notifications with the same identifier allowed in 10 min This parameter is not mandatory. However, if a value has been entered, the system will make sure to limit the number of push notifications sent to this number in 10 min. It is quite useful when the trigger for sending the push notifications is being sent frequently on the bus. Push Notification Identifier A small descriptive text to allow the system to differentiate a push notification from another one when calculating the rate limit. Mandatory only if the previous parameter has been used. Using the Universal Gateway, a push notification can be sent to the client when a 1-bit value is received from the bus to indicate that the Water Tank Level is low. The message in that case can be “Low Water Level!”. If the 1-bit is being sent periodically to the bus with a small interval, then a maximum number of push notifications can be inserted in the related parameter. Push notifications only work with internet connectivity. In addition, the server and client should both have the same version of Thinknx software (both Classic or Thinknx UP). Execute MS Windows Command: GENERAL This command allows to launch an .exe file directly from the ThinKnx application on all Players for Windows. Command Parameter Example: to open a specific file or folder on Windows, fill the Command field with “explorer.exe”, and put the entire path leading to the folder or file in the Parameter field. Execute MS Windows Command: SPECIFIC CLIENT This command allows to launch an .exe file directly from the ThinKnx application on all Players for Windows. Command Parameter Example: to open a specific file or folder on Windows, fill the Command field with “explorer.exe”, and put the entire path leading to the folder or file in the Parameter field. Recall iOS app with url This property allows to launch a specific application on iOS devices directly from the ThinKnx app by typing the related URL. URL used to recall iOS app Type in the correct URL to open the desired installed application, for example http://www.google.com will automatically browse the google safari page. Another example is typing sonos:// to open the SONOS app. A generic button can be configured for the client to open another application on the iOS device. Send Email to recipients This command allows to send an email message using a default ThinKnx account. Email Subject Enter the email title here. Email Recipients Enter destination email accounts. Email Content Enter the email content here. If the client's house is empty and a presence has been detected inside (1-bit KNX telegram), a scenario can be programmed on the Universal Gateway to send an email to the owner of the house. This command might not work properly. Instead, add an Email Account under System tab, and select the command “send email to recipient” that can be found in the Internal Services. See this section for more information. Send DTMF tone during intercom call This command allows to send a DTMF tone used in telephony while an intercom call is running on the client. DTMF tones sequence enter the sequence of numbers to send during the intercom call. Sometimes it is necessary to end the sequence with the symbol “#”, depending on the application. A generic button can be configured in the Intercom page to send a DTMF tone to open the main gate whenever a call is established. Make SIP call When using the Thinknx server as PBX, it is possible to make internal calls between all the devices. Extension to call Enter the extension of the destination device. A house owner can have a generic button on his application to call the extension of the touch screen installed in Kitchen to communication with the help. Start audio notification sound in all the clients This command allows to play an audio sound in all the clients. Sound to play Choose between different beeps to play: 0=Beep_1, 1=Beep_2, 2=Alarm_1, 3==Alarm_2, 4=Siren_1, 5=Siren_2. Duration of the sound to play Specify the duration of the sound to play in seconds. If 0 is entered, the sound will play endlessly until a Stop command has been sent. An emergency push button can be installed in bathrooms to send a KNX 1-bit value. Using the Universal Gateway, this value received can launch the command to start audio notification on all clients. Stop audio notification sound in all clients This command allows to stop the audio sound previously launched in all clients. See above command for example.
