knx-dotnet Library for .NET Core

This is a .NET Core library that allows communication with KNXnet/IP routers and gateways using either the routing or the tunneling protocol. It provides a simple and easy-to-use interface for sending and receiving KNX telegrams over IP as well as device discovery.

Installation

The library can be installed via NuGet package manager. Simply search for knx-dotnet and install the package to your .NET project.

dotnet add package knx-dotnet --version 0.3.0-alpha

Make sure you search for PreRelease packages, as there is currently no stable release available!

Usage

Discovering knx devices

var routingClient = new KnxNetIpRoutingClient(
    options =>
    {
        options.DeviceAddress = "1/1/2";
    });

routingClient.KnxDeviceDiscovered += (_, args) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Discovered device: {args.FriendlyName} - ConnectionString: {args.ConnectionString}");
};

await routingClient.ConnectAsync();
await routingClient.DiscoverAsync();

Sending a message using the routing protocol

using Knx.KnxNetIp;

// create a Routing client
var routingClient = new KnxNetIpRoutingClient();

// connect to the KNXnet/IP gateway
await routingClient.Connect();

// create a fully qualified knx message
var message = new KnxMessage
{
    MessageType = MessageType.Write,
    MessageCode = MessageCode.Request,
    Priority = MessagePriority.Auto,
    SourceAddress = new KnxDeviceAddress(1, 1, 2),
    DestinationAddress = new KnxLogicalAddress(1, 1, 28),
    TransportLayerControlInfo = TransportLayerControlInfo.UnnumberedDataPacket,
    DataPacketCount = 0,
    Payload = new DptBoolean(false).Payload
};

// and send the message
await routingClient.SendMessageAsync(message);

// or use the read or write extensions to keep it as simple as possible
tunnelingClient.Write(KnxAddress.Logical(1,1,28), new DptBoolean(true));

Sending a message using the tunneling protocol

using var tunnelingClient = new KnxNetIpTunnelingClient(
    new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse("10.0.2.5"), 3671),
    KnxAddress.Device(1, 1, 2));

await tunnelingClient.Connect();

tunnelingClient.Write(KnxAddress.Logical(1,1,1), new DptBoolean(true));
