Firmware

• use: web browser-based TUL-Firmware Installer

USB-serial emulation: ** goto Firmware Installer page - and choose “USB-serial emulation” ** example source code: serial transparent example ** TPUART will be available at /dev/ttyACMx. i.e. in knxd use:

… -b tpuarts:/dev/ttyACM0

simple WiFi-bridge: ** goto Firmware Installer page - and choose “WiFi-bridge” ** follow regular setup procedure - make sure you setup working WiFi connection and “visit device” to find its IP address ** Bridge will be mDNS-announced as “_ncn5130._tcp” - avahi-browse _ncn5130._tcp -rt ** TPUART is available at TCP port 2324. i.e. with knxd use:

… -b tpuarttcp::2324

Tasmota TCP bridge: ** goto Firmware Installer page - and choose “Tasmota” ** follow regular Tasmota setup procedure ** finally goto “Auto-configuration” and choose “Busware TUL” from dropdown - (this will load this Configuration) ** TPUART will be available at TCP port 2324. i.e. with knxd use:

… -b tpuarttcp::2324

direct KNX/IP UDP tunnel

For direct usage with i.e. Home Assistant you need to connect to a UDP tunnel device. Thanks to OpenKNX stack this has now become very simple and eliminates the need of separate “knxd”-installation:

** find example here on github ** goto Firmware Installer page - and choose “KNX/IP for TUL”
