INTRO
HEY!
TODAY WE MONITOR KNX GATEWAY HEALTH WITH THE WATCHDOG NODE.

IO OVERVIEW
OPTIONAL INPUT FOR START OR STOP COMMANDS.
ONE OUTPUT EMITTING STATUS OBJECTS.

CORE SETTINGS
SELECT THE KNX GATEWAY.
CHOOSE CHECK LEVEL: ETHERNET OR ETHERNET PLUS KNX.
IF YOU PICK ETH PLUS KNX, ENTER THE HEARTBEAT GROUP ADDRESS (DPT ONE DOT X).
SET A FRIENDLY NAME AND ENABLE AUTO START IF DESIRED.

ADVANCED OPTIONS
CONFIGURE RETRY INTERVAL IN SECONDS.
SET MAX RETRY BEFORE RAISING AN ERROR.

OPERATION
ETHERNET MODE PINGS THE GATEWAY.
ETH PLUS KNX ALSO LISTENS FOR HEARTBEAT TELEGRAMS.
WHEN MAX RETRY IS REACHED THE NODE EMITS AN ERROR AND STAYS ALERT.

OUTPUT PAYLOAD
LOOK FOR STATUS OK, RETRY, OR ERROR WITH COUNTS AND TIMESTAMPS.

BEST PRACTICES
PULSE A DEDICATED HEARTBEAT GA WITH A SIMPLE KNX NODE.
ALLOW ENOUGH RETRIES TO FILTER OUT NETWORK GLITCHES.
CONNECT OUTPUT TO ALERTS OR AUTOMATED RECOVERY SCRIPTS.

DEMO IDEAS
SHOW A GREEN OR RED INDICATOR ON YOUR DASHBOARD.
SEND A PUSH NOTIFICATION WHEN MAX RETRY IS HIT.

WRAP UP
WE CONFIGURED CHECK LEVELS, RETRIES, AND HEARTBEATS.
