Connecting Toggle Button to LED Dimmer

In KNX-based systems, devices communicate using group addresses, which are assigned to group objects (also called simply “objects”). These group objects act as communication channels between devices.

In the IHC Plugin, you create connections between input devices (like toggle buttons) and output devices (like LED dimmers) by assigning them to the same group objects.

If you have already configured your LED dimmer channel (for example, with channel ID 0x80), you can now link a toggle button to it by following these steps:

1. In the IHC Plugin, go to DEVICE MAPPING > Input Devices and select the input you want to use as a toggle button.

2. In the input device settings, locate the Status field.
   Select the same group object that you previously assigned to the Status field of the LED dimmer channel. This ensures the button sends commands to the correct dimmer.

3. If you want the button to also control dimming (brightness adjustment), locate the Dimming field.
   Select the same group object used in the LED dimmer channel’s Dimming field.

4. Click Save changes to apply the settings.

The toggle button is now linked to the LED dimmer and should control it as expected.

TIP: The group object selector supports filtering. You can start typing part of the object name (e.g., 0x80) and the list will automatically narrow down to matching objects. This makes it easier to find and select the correct group object.
