Monitoring EIB and KNX Components

The project is about monitoring components of the European Installation Bus respectively its successor KNX. These components (e.g light-switches, sensors...) are used for building automation and based on Twisted pair wiring (TP). The plugins don't support the communication over Powerline, Radio (KNX-RF) or Infrared. With these plugins you can check if the devices are ready for operation. For proper work you need conect via a IP-Router (a Gateway, e.g. Siemens 5WG1 146 1AB01) and install the BCU-SDK and configure the eibd
