Importing LED Dimmer Configuration

If you already have an existing IHC project created in .vis format, you can import its configuration into the IHC Plugin. This allows you to quickly transfer LED dimmer settings without manually recreating each channel. However, only linked LED dimmers will be imported, as the channel ID is required to generate valid configuration records.

Before starting the import, make sure your physical LED dimmers are properly configured, linked (i.e. assigned with channel IDs), and connected to the RS485 interface.

Proceed as follows:

1. Prepare your .vis project file
   Ensure your .vis file includes LED dimmer configurations and that the dimmers are already linked and physically connected.

2. Start the import process
   Open the IHC Plugin and go to the Import tab. Follow the wizard to upload your .vis project file. Refer to the chapter Import Existing IHC Project.

3. Verify linked channels
   During import, only LED dimmers with valid channel IDs will be included. Unlinked dimmers will be skipped.

4. Automatic group address creation
   The plugin will automatically create all necessary KNX group addresses for the imported dimmer channels. These include objects for status, dimming, level, and feedback.

5. Review and adjust settings
   After the import is complete, go to the RS485 tab to review the imported dimmer channels. You can rename them, adjust parameters, or link additional KNX objects if needed.
