Calimero Tools

git clone https://github.com/calimero-project/calimero-tools.git

A collection of KNX network tools based on Calimero for (secure) process communication, monitoring, and management.

With Maven, execute

$ mvn install

With Gradle, execute

./gradlew build

Docker image

Pre-built Docker images for running the tools are available on Docker Hub.

Available Tools

Use ./gradlew run or mvn exec:java to list available commands.

• Discover - KNXnet/IP discovery and self description
• DeviceInfo - shows device information of a device in a KNX network (using the device's interface objects)
• IPConfig - read/write the IP configuration of a KNXnet/IP server using KNX properties
• NetworkMonitor - busmonitor for KNX networks (monitor raw frames on the network, completely passive)
• ProcComm - process communication, read or write a KNX datapoint, or group monitor KNX datapoints
• ProgMode - shows the KNX devices currently in programming mode
• PropClient - a property client for KNX device property descriptions, get or set KNX device properties
• Property - get/set a single KNX device interface object property
• BaosClient - communicate with a KNX BAOS device
• ScanDevices - list KNX devices, or check whether a specific KNX individual address is currently assigned to a KNX device
• Restart - performs a basic restart or master reset of a KNX interface or KNX device
• DatapointImporter - import datapoint information from a KNX project (.knxproj) or group addresses file (.xml or .csv) for use with Calimero

Examples

Note, using KNX Secure requires a keyring (--keyring) and keyring password (--keyring-pwd); by default the keyring in the current working directory is used. Alternatively, for KNX IP Secure, the following command-line options are supported:

• Secure Multicast: --group-key <16 bytes hex key>
• Secure Unicast:
  • --user <user ID>
  • --user-pwd <pwd>, or --user-key <16 bytes hex key>
  • (optional) --device-pwd <auth>, or --device-key <16 bytes hex key>

Using Gradle

Show all supported tools

./gradlew run

Discover KNX IP devices

./gradlew run --args discover

Run group monitor (using KNXnet/IP Routing)

./gradlew run --args="groupmon 224.0.23.12"

Use -h or --help for help with a tool (here, scan for scanning devices)

./gradlew run --args="scan -h"

KNX IP Secure multicast group monitor using a keyring

./gradlew run --args="groupmon 224.0.23.12 --keyring mykeys.knxkeys --keyring-pwd quack"

Using Maven

Show all supported tools

mvn exec:java

Run a command with option --help to show the help message for usage

mvn exec:java -Dexec.args="groupmon --help"

The equivalent of the above command using explicit invocation would be

mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=io.calimero.tools.ProcComm -Dexec.args="--help"

Discover KNXnet/IP devices

# Variant which executes the `discover` command
$ mvn exec:java -Dexec.args=discover

# Variant which specifically refers to the tool class
$ mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=io.calimero.tools.Discover -Dexec.args=--search

Process Communication

Start process communication for group monitoring (command groupmon), accessing a KNX power-line network (--medium p110 or -m p110) using a USB interface with name busch-jaeger (or any other KNX vendor or product name, e.g., siemens).

mvn exec:java -Dexec.args="groupmon --usb busch-jaeger -m p110"

With USB, you can also specify the USB interface using the vendor and product ID as VendorID:ProductID. If you don't know any identification yet, run the tool using a bogus ID and debug settings to print the available USB interfaces.

Start process communication for group monitoring, accessing a RF network using a Weinzierl USB interface. Adjust the logging level for debug output:

mvn exec:java -Dexec.args="groupmon --usb weinzierl -m rf" -Dorg.slf4j.simpleLogger.defaultLogLevel=debug

Local Device Management

Access the KNX properties of your KNXnet/IP server with control endpoint 192.168.10.10 using local device management

mvn exec:java -Dexec.args="properties 192.168.10.10"

Remote Device Management

Remote property services (this example only works if the KNX device implements Interface Objects): open a client to a remote (-r) KNX device with the device address 1.1.5, via KNXnet/IP tunneling to a KNXnet/IP server with control endpoint 192.168.10.10

mvn exec:java -Dexec.args="properties 192.168.10.10 -r 1.1.5"

Once you enter the CLI of the property client, execute, e.g., scan all to scan all KNX properties of that device.

Using Java

Replace the version in the examples (3.0-SNAPSHOT) with the exact version you are running. Make sure all dependencies are available, either by relying on the Calimero Tools MANIFEST file or the Java class path settings (using the -classpath option or the CLASSPATH environment variable). The simplest way is to have all required .jar files in the same directory.

For an overview of tools, run

java -jar calimero-tools-3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Discover KNXnet/IP devices

Discover KNXnet/IP servers, with Network Address Translation (NAT) enabled:

java -jar calimero-tools-3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar discover search --nat

Process Communication

Read a KNX datapoint value (switch button on/off) from a group address (1/2/1) using the FT1.2 protocol over the serial port /dev/ttyS01

java -jar calimero-tools-3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar read switch 1/2/1 --ft12 /dev/ttyS01

Start process communication group monitoring for a TP1 KNX network (the default) using KNXnet/IP Routing in the multicast group 224.0.23.12, and a specific local host address (--localhost, useful in multihoming to specify the outgoing network interface)

java -jar calimero-tools-3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar groupmon --localhost 192.168.10.14 224.0.23.12

Busmonitor

Start a KNX busmonitor on a KNX TP1 (Twisted Pair) network, using a compact (-c or --compact) busmonitor indication output format

java -jar calimero-tools-3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar monitor -c --usb busch-jaeger

Calimero busmonitor output in compact mode looks like

02:22:09.457 Seq 0 L-Data.req 7.1.13->2/1/0, low priority FCS 0x4e domain 0x6f, tpdu 00 81: T_Group, A_Group.write 01
02:22:09.475 Seq 1 ACK
02:22:09.810 Seq 2 L-Data.req 7.1.13->2/1/20, low priority FCS 0xa7 domain 0x6f, tpdu 00 80 ff: T_Group, A_Group.write ff
02:22:09.828 Seq 3 ACK
02:22:10.726 Seq 4 L-Data.req 7.1.13->2/1/11, low priority FCS 0x44 domain 0x6f, tpdu 00 80: T_Group, A_Group.write 00
02:22:10.744 Seq 5 ACK

Device Information

Read device information of KNX device 1.1.4 in a TP1 network (default medium) using the KNXnet/IP server 192.168.10.12

java -cp "calimero-tools-3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar" devinfo 192.168.10.12 1.1.4

Run tools using Gradle without source code

With Gradle installed, copy the following snippet into a file named build.gradle, and execute gradle in the same directory (see Examples, e.g., gradle run --args="monitor 192.168.115.6").

plugins { id 'application' }
repositories { mavenCentral(); maven { url = uri("https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots") } }
mainClassName = "io.calimero.tools.Main"
dependencies {
  runtimeOnly group: 'io.calimero', name: 'calimero-tools', version: '3.0-SNAPSHOT'
}

Logging

Calimero tools use the System.Logger. Bind any desired logging frameworks of your choice.

Extending Tools

All tools implement the interface Runnable and can be extended. Override the method that provides the result and customize its behavior. For example, with KNXnet/IP discovery

public class MyDiscovery extends Discover {
	public MyDiscovery(String[] args) throws KNXException {
		super(args);
	}

	@Override
	protected void onEndpointReceived(Result<SearchResponse> result) {
		// Use result ...
	}
}
