xaal.knx
===========
This package contains a xAAL gateway for KNX BUS. 


Software 
========
The datapoint mapping (dpts.py) come from the Smarthome.py software : 
https://mknx.github.io/smarthome/plugins/knx.html (GPLv3.0) 


Install
=======
You can use both pip, with pip install xaal.knx or setup.py

You can test the package with :
python setup.py develop (or install) --user

To run the gateway:
- edit your config file (~/.xaal/xaal.knx.ini) 
- launch python -m xaal.knx

run :

If you use an USB (serial) port, you can use knxd to forward commands
between serial & multicast. 

to build knxd : 
git clone https://github.com/knxd/knxd.git
./configure --enable-usb  --prefix=/opt/knxd --disable-systemd

sudo knxd -t 1023 -e 0.0.1 -E 0.0.2:8 -i -R -S -b usb:


This configuration doesn't work out of the box. For an unknow 
reason, knxd doesn't forward knx frame to serial port. Please read
this bug report (fix)

Supported datapoints
==================== 
You must use one of this in the configuration file.
