Import Existing IHC Project

If you already have a project for your IHC installation, you can import device settings into the IHC Plugin instead of starting from scratch.

Please note that importing project data will delete current device mappings in the Input devices, Output devices, In-Out View and RS485. This action cannot be undone.

To import your project, follow these steps:

1. In the IHC Plugin, click on the Import tab.

   

2. A wizard will start to guide you through the entire process.

3. In the next step, click the Select file button, choose the file you want to import from your computer, and click Open.

4. The selected file will begin uploading. Once the upload is complete, click the Import project button.

   

5. If you previously imported a project, you can choose what will happen to previously created objects. You can keep them or delete them (Clear KNX objects before export).

   

6. If you are sure you want to import the project, click Confirm.

7. Once the project is successfully imported, you can fine-tune the settings in the Device mapping tab.

During the import, multiple KNX objects (with virtual KNX group addresses) will be created. These objects will be tagged with the label “import" and can be removed if needed.

To delete them:

1. Open the Start page in the controller’s web interface (you must be logged in).

2. Open the Configurator.

3. Navigate to the Objects screen.

4. In the Tags field, type "import" and click Apply filter.

5. Click Mass delete.

6. Confirm by selecting Delete objects from current filter.

Limitations of Import

While the import feature is helpful for configuring IHC inputs, outputs, and LED dimmers, and it automatically creates KNX group objects mapped to these elements, there are some important limitations to be aware of:

• Function blocks (logic) from the original IHC project cannot be transferred.

• Buttons are imported as plain inputs, which means you will need to manually configure their behavior after the import.
