KNX Input Plugin

The KNX input plugin that listens for messages on the KNX home-automation bus. This plugin connects to the KNX bus via a KNX-IP interface. Information about supported KNX message datapoint types can be found at the underlying "knx-go" project site (https://github.com/vapourismo/knx-go).

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

# Listener capable of handling KNX bus messages provided through a KNX-IP Interface.
[[inputs.knx_listener]]
  ## Type of KNX-IP interface.
  ## Can be either "tunnel" or "router".
  # service_type = "tunnel"

  ## Address of the KNX-IP interface.
  service_address = "localhost:3671"

  ## Measurement definition(s)
  # [[inputs.knx_listener.measurement]]
  #   ## Name of the measurement
  #   name = "temperature"
  #   ## Datapoint-Type (DPT) of the KNX messages
  #   dpt = "9.001"
  #   ## List of Group-Addresses (GAs) assigned to the measurement
  #   addresses = ["5/5/1"]

  # [[inputs.knx_listener.measurement]]
  #   name = "illumination"
  #   dpt = "9.004"
  #   addresses = ["5/5/3"]

Measurement configurations

Each measurement contains only one datapoint-type (DPT) and assigns a list of addresses to this measurement. You can, for example group all temperature sensor messages within a "temperature" measurement. However, you are free to split messages of one datapoint-type to multiple measurements.

NOTE: You should not assign a group-address (GA) to multiple measurements!

Metrics

Received KNX data is stored in the named measurement as configured above using the "value" field. Additional to the value, there are the following tags added to the datapoint:

• "groupaddress": KNX group-address corresponding to the value
• "unit": unit of the value
• "source": KNX physical address sending the value

To find out about the datatype of the datapoint please check your KNX project, the KNX-specification or the "knx-go" project for the corresponding DPT.
