Rooms & devices

A project's building structure lives in two adjacent tabs — Räume (Rooms) and Geräte (Devices). Both are populated by parsing the latest uploaded ETS file (see ETS files), and both are sortable, filterable tables. Logical Funktionen (Functions) — which group devices and group addresses by what they do — sit in their own tab alongside them.

Räume (Rooms)​

The Räume tab lists every room in the project as a table — room name, floor, and details — with a result count and a search box at the top. Sort by any column header, or filter by free text. Rooms with no floor are grouped under "Unassigned".

A project's Räume (Rooms) tab: a sortable table of rooms with a result count and a search box, listing each room's name and floor.

Geräte (Devices)​

The Geräte tab is a sortable, filterable table of every device in the project — name, manufacturer, model, KNX address, device type, and the room it's assigned to. Click a column header to sort; use the search box to narrow by name, manufacturer, or address. A BOM CSV export downloads the current table as a bill of materials.

For a device that was matched to the KNX Clarity Catalog, the row links out to the product's datasheet, image, and documentation.

Manual edits​

Anyone with the admin or technician org member role can edit a device's name, description, and notes inline in the table. These edits survive the next ETS upload as long as the device's KNX address does not change — we reconcile by address, so a rename in ETS becomes a rename in KNX Clarity, but a rename you make in KNX Clarity stays.

Edits that ETS will overwrite

The manufacturer, model, and device-type fields come straight from ETS and are re-synced on every upload. Don't rely on them to store anything other than what ETS said. Put free-form notes in the Notes field instead.

Why a device might be missing​

  • The device was added in ETS but the ETS file hasn't been re-uploaded yet. Upload the latest version on the Pläne tab.
  • The parser silently dropped a malformed device. Open the version on the Pläne tab; parser errors are logged to the comment field on the version row.
  • The device exists in an earlier ETS version but was deleted in the latest one. KNX Clarity reflects whatever the most recent export contains.
