Conversely, when the KNX SERVER receives a value in the command topic, it executes it as a command for
objects:
In both cases, KNX SERVER expects numeric values to be exchanged via Topics, using the dot as decimal separator
(if they are not integer values); other formats, such as JSON, are not expected.
At least one command or report topic must be specified for each object. It is of course possible to specify both.
The use of the same topic for command and report is strongly discouraged, as this can create loops!
A KNX SERVER can take over the role of the MQTT broker, as described in the previous chapter. In order to
connect to the integrated broker, a connection must be established in any case, but according to a simplified
procedure, which is described in more detail below.
3.2 NEW CONNECTION
To create a new connection, expand
TECHNOLOGIES > MQTT-CLIENT
in the Administration side menu and press the (+) button in the toolbar. Once the new connection is created,
access its tab to set the parameters. A window like the one in the following figure is displayed:
