INTRO
HELLO AGAIN!
TODAY WE CONFIGURE THE KNX ULTIMATE AUTO RESPONDER.
IT AUTOMATICALLY ANSWERS GROUP READ REQUESTS WITH DEFAULT VALUES.

PURPOSE
IDEAL FOR VIRTUAL SENSORS, CAMERA STATES, AND CLOUD DATA THAT MUST RESPOND ON THE KNX BUS.

IO OVERVIEW
THERE ARE NO INPUTS OR OUTPUTS.
ONCE DEPLOYED THE NODE WORKS IN THE BACKGROUND.

CORE SETUP
LINK THE NODE TO YOUR KNX ULTIMATE CONFIG GATEWAY.
OPTIONALLY GIVE IT A FRIENDLY NAME.
EDIT THE JSON ARRAY CALLED RESPOND TO.

RULE SYNTAX
EACH OBJECT ACCEPTS NOTE, GA, DPT, AND DEFAULT.
GA CAN BE A SINGLE ADDRESS OR A RANGE LIKE THREE SLASH ONE SLASH ONE DOUBLE DOT TWENTY TWO.
SET DPT TO MATCH THE DATA TYPE YOU WANT TO SEND BACK.
DEFAULT HOLDS THE VALUE RETURNED ON EVERY READ.

TIPS
USE NOTES INSIDE THE JSON TO DOCUMENT EACH VIRTUAL DEVICE.
FOR TEXT ANSWERS USE DPT SIXTEEN POINT ZERO ZERO ONE.
FOR BOOLEAN OR PERCENTAGE DEFAULTS PICK THE CORRESPONDING DPT.

TESTING
DEPLOY THE FLOW.
ISSUE A GROUP VALUE READ FROM ETS OR A KNX ULTIMATE NODE.
THE AUTO RESPONDER SENDS THE DEFAULT TELEGRAM INSTANTLY.
VERIFY IN THE DEBUG SIDEBAR OR ETS GROUP MONITOR.

BEST PRACTICES
KEEP THE JSON FORMATTED AND COMMENTED.
GROUP RELATED DEVICES IN THE SAME NODE OR SPLIT BY ROOM.
UPDATE RANGES WHEN YOUR ETS PROJECT CHANGES.

WRAP UP
WE LINKED THE NODE, CONFIGURED THE RULES, AND TESTED THE REPLIES.
