Yes, I know. I was hoping to get some pointers as to what KNX gear to get. I could probably go on a KNX specific forum, but I hoped someone here had any experience with some gear and wanted to share experiences and maybe teach me briefly about what makes the system tick, what I would need for a basic setup and so on. Cheers  ;)

I guess this is the device that translate ip data to eib/knx "language"

This is the psu for powering all the "modules" (except I would need a 240V version)

This is a basic 8 channel on/off relay that may switch light, heat or whatever.

This is what is what I have learn't so far. Will update when I figure out more stuff and you can arrest me if I am wrong.

Btw. Can LinuxMCE take care of the logics?

I am sorry, I have been searching the forums and internett as you said. I can only find information about software. I am wondering about hardware needs. Am I looking in the wrong places?

The only info I found was: MDT AKS-1216 and MDT JAL 0810

I have all the time in the world. LinuxMCE rule, be patient? ;)

The cabinet is where the circuit breakers, RCD and mains come in to my apartment yes. (If RCD is a breaker that disconnects when there is inbalance between live and neutral conductor). I am setting up a totally new large cabinet with the rebuild.

Appreciate you taking the time to help me btw.

Hi,

First off I want to thank the developers for using their spare time to develop and maintain such a great system.

I have tried searching around for a hardware list using KNX. I will try to list up what I want to achieve and hopefully I will end up learning a great deal that I can relay to a national AV forum in my county. Here it goes:

I want to centralize all of my components in the circuit braker closet (what do you call it in english?)
This includes all the relays, PSU, computer and what ever else I need. I will completely rebuild an appartment so this is no problem.

I want to be able to control my lighting with the ability to dim the lights as well as set dim to 30%, 70% or what ever directly.

I want to control my blinds

I want to control my heating (not a priority, but I will put in the 20mm tubes in my walls.

I want to add switches so I can control my lights if the computer dies.

I want to add motion sensors so I can save power in rooms that I normally do not use.

So my main question is: What KNX parts do I need to achieve this? I recon I need some thing that makes the computer talk to the KNX system, relays of some sort and this is were it stops for me.

If someone can explain the basics or link to a page that explains the basics I am willing to learn.

Regards
Eirik from Norway (230V 50Hz)
