[yosig]

Hi,

sorry for writing in English but i can't speak German (unfortunately).
this thread is about new KNX client for the android smartphones,
this client is called "KNXDroid" and is now available on the market.
to get the app, search android market for "knx" or "knxdroid".
if you find the app useful, please leave a comment in the market.

Is it using knxnetip ?!

please give more info about the project !!

I was thinking (some time ago) to develop a small app just to send some general on/off commands to a simple IP gateway N148 !

Thanks

Thank you for your interest, i will be happy to elaborate.

KNXDroid application is KNX Client that connects to the KNX bus through KNXNet/IP gateway and therefore it will use the phone WiFi or 3G connection.
The user can enter manually the KNXNet/IP gateway or have the application automatically discover it using "Auto discovery" feature.

The application consists of 3 major parts:
1. KNX Monitor - in this part the application displays all the knx messages from the bus and all the information related to those messages. the user can also control the size of the monitor (i.e. how many messages to display). each message will display also the "context" information, i.e. "The light turned on" or "Temperature set to 25 degress".

2. KNX Devices - this part is the configuration part where the user will map the group addresses (either auto discovered by the application or manually configured) to the actual devices such as Light, Switch, Dimmer, Temperature control, Shades etc.

3. KNX Control - the most important! in this part the user can control the configured devices.
The devices can be grouped into folders (i.e. folder for a specific Room, folder for all lights etc.) and then control the devices inside that folder. each device in the folder will also display its current status and in click will open the corresponding control dialog.

If you have more questions, i will be more than happy to answer.
by the way, i also maintain some open source projects to control the KNX.
if you are interested you can check out my website:
EIBSuite - open source lib for KNX/EIB (http://code.google.com/p/eibsuite/)

My questions are related with the knxnetip protocol itself !!

Wich is the easiest way to develop a simple on off telegram ?!

Is sending a single UDP frame to the ip/knx gateway, port 3671, with correct data frame enough ?!

I just want to send the telegram and maybe read some status via UDP, so I don't want to implement the knxnetip protocol !

Thanks you very much :)
