The configuration for this Ubie is the same as for a Ubie without KNX; see Ubiebox

The only difference is that with this device you can also connect to a KNX installation.

Connecting to a KNX installation

To connect your KNX installation with the Ubie, navigate to https://qbuscontrol.com/Admin and log in with your Qbus Control account.

Ubie KNX 6

In this window, we can link KNX addresses to an I/O that can be used in Qbus Control

  1. Choose the type of I/O you want to create
  2. Give the output a name
  3. Here you can add a Write Address (address that will be accessed when the Ubie performs an operation)
  4. And a Read Address (address that will convey status to the Ubie)
  5. Choose a suitable icon
  6. And save this I/O

Below is an example of the window where you can select a write address

      2. with configurable and feedback group address (dptSwitch-1.001)
    2. Analog values (e.g., dimming lights)
      1. with configurable group address (dptPercent_U8-5.004 or dptScaling-5.001)
      2. with configurable and feedback group address (dptPercent_U8-5.004 or dptScaling-5.001)
      3. with on/off configurable group address (dptSwitch-1.001)
    3. Control and read thermostat
      1. Read temperature (dptValue_Temp-9.001)
      2. Set temperature (dptValue_Temp-9.001)
      3. Setting modes (dptHVACMode-20.102) (e.g., 0: Auto, 1: Comfort, 2: Standby, 3: Economy, 4: Building Protection)

      1. Positioning of screens/blinds with configurable group address
      2. Positioning of screens/blinds with configurable and feedback group address
      3. Positioning of slats with configurable group address
      4. Positioning of slats with configurable and feedback group address
    5. Activate and link a KNX scene with Ubie apps (such as Philips Hue, Sonos, ...)

  • Additional considerations
    • It is possible to import your KNX project once; if you import again, you must restart.
    • It is only for controlling KNX outputs (lights and other functions) in Qbus!
    • A KNX button cannot be used to control Qbus lighting.
