Node list
Primary runtime node to send/receive telegrams, build virtual devices, and bridge non-KNX systems.
DocumentationStores KNX gateway settings (IP interface/router or Serial FT1.2 port) shared by every runtime node, with a picker that lists both network gateways and serial ports.
Shared configurationAutomatically replies to KNX read requests or keeps virtual datapoints in sync.
DocumentationMirrors selected group addresses into the Node-RED global context.
DocumentationLive dashboard to inspect telegrams and decoded values in real time.
DocumentationWatches the bus, sends alerts, and can fail over to backup gateways.
DocumentationRaises visual or audio alarms when monitored addresses hit critical events.
DocumentationCoordinates heavy loads to prevent the main breaker from tripping.
DocumentationManages gate and door logic with impulse control, feedback, and interlocks.
DocumentationMaps Home Assistant services to KNX group writes via flexible tables.
