1Home System Manager - Quick start ​

A powerful way to manage, monitor, troubleshoot and automate your KNX installations.

Easier setup of your projects:

• Use built in KNX IP interface,
• Use Live KNX BUS traffic monitor to diagnose issues in real time,
• Create automations (logic) with a drag and drop editor,
• Fulfill complex requirements with Lua scripting
• Use KNX Time Server

More insights into your running projects:

• Visualize your installation with Graphs
• Check any unexpected system behaviors by searching through Traffic History

Remote maintenance of your projects:

• Use ETS remote programming to reprogram KNX when not on site,
• Use 1Home remote dashboard to access the local dashboard of the device remotely.

And more.

Quick Setup ​

1. Installation ​

🎬 Video guide

To start using your device you need to provide it with power and connection to your network.

Connecting to power ​

There are two options to connect your device to power:

• A - Auxiliary power: Use the yellow and gray pin to connect to auxiliary power. Normal usage at 30V is around 70-100 mA, max usage is up to 170 mA. Note that if the power supply can't supply enough power for all connected devices it might cause unexpected behavior.
• B - DC IN power supply: Connect a dedicated 12V, 2.1 mm, 1A (or more), 12W power supply.

Accessing the dashboard ​

Once the device is powered on and the STATUS LED light is solid green color 🟢 you can access your 1Home Server at 1home.local URL.

If you have troubles accessing the dashboard, read the Troubleshooting guide.

You should be presented with the login screen as shown below.

Default username and password are printed on the label that you received with the device. Consider changing them after you log in.

2. Connecting KNX ​

🎬 KNX video guide: Add device manually, ETS auto detection

Your device is automatically connected to your KNX bus via the red and black pin.

You can also always add up to 4 additional connections to KNX via KNX IP interfaces. Learn more in the Connect to KNX guide.

You can check the connection status of your device under Integrations -> KNX as shown below.

Adding devices ​

There are two ways in which you can add your KNX devices:

1. Auto detect devices from your ETS project file
   • Most of your devices will be automatically detected from your .knxproj file. You will also be able to change the detected devices after the import is finished.
2. Add KNX devices manually one by one
   • If certain devices were not detected by ETS auto import, you can add them manually.

After adding your devices, you will see a list of added devices.

3. Use KNX Traffic Monitor to monitor your devices ​

See how to use Traffic Monitor.

See what traffic is being sent in real-time, or understand why something happened at a certain point in history.

You can also send KNX telegrams to the KNX bus directly from the dashboard.

4. Create custom schedules, automations and scripts ​

Read more about drag and drop 1Home Automations and advanced Lua Scripting.

Use 1Home Automations to create schedules, triggers, conditions and more.

Usually drag and drop editor is enough, but if you want something really custom, you can also use Lua scripting.

Drag and drop automation editor

Advanced Lua editor

5. Visualize data with graphs ​

Read more about using Graphs.

Visualize the data from your devices, energy consumption or specific KNX group addresses. View automatically generated graphs or create custom graphs with many different items displayed at the same time.

Want to see thermostat setpoint, room temperature and valve open/close operation all at once? No problem.

6. Configure device remotely ​

If you need to configure your 1Home device remotely use our 1Home remote dashboard at 🌍 remote.1home.io.

Follow our Remote access guide to get started.

7. Program KNX with ETS locally or remotely ​

Use the built in KNX IP Interface or use the Remote ETS programming.
