How do I configure my garage door opener?

In order to use a KNX garage door, you need to provide two group addresses.

First a set address for Open/Close, which has a DataPointType of 1.008

Second is the Current position listen address, which has a DataPointType of 5.001

Optionally you can provice a Listen address for Obstruction detection which has a DataPointType of 1.002

There are also two other options in Current position status parameter which are shown below

If this parameter is set as Open and closed status objects (2 booleans, DPT 1.002, 1 bit) then the group objects will be like this;

You should fill the group address for the Up/Down object, which helps us to move the window covering up or down. And you should also fill the group addresses for the status of Open and Closed

If this parameter is set to the Up/Down (0 = up, 1 = down, DPT 1.008, 1 bit), then you will see such a view below as group objects

You should again fill the group address for the Up/Down object as we did before. You should also fill the group address for Up/Down status to retrieve the status of the Up and Down

You have another parameter to be set is Position inversion;

Here we choose what value we get if the window covering is open or vice versa. This parameter differs from device to device
