ioBroker.lcn

This adapter allows to connect Local Control Network LCN to ioBroker.

Supported Gateways

• LCN-PKE

• LCN-PKU with LCN-PCHK

Don't forget that ioBroker.lcn will block one LCN Connection License.

The configuration and modules will be automatically detected by scan, that must be triggered manually from the configuration dialog and can be repeated any time again.

Types

The following read and write groups are supported:

• Analog values (output/input)
• Relays (output)
• Sensors (input)
• LEDs (output / input)
• Variables (input)

Variables

To apply the valid convert functions to variables, the variables must have the valid roles. The following roles are supported:

• value.temperature - temperature in celsius
• value.brightness - Lux (I- input) in lux
• value.speed.wind - wind speed in m/s
• value.voltage - voltage in Volt
• value.current - current in Ampere
• value.sun.azimuth - sun azimuth
• value.sun.elevation - sun elevation

Display

For every device you can activate if it has display or not.

Regulator (Regler)

For every device you can activate if it has regulators or not.

Settings

• Reconnect interval(sec) - how often the adapter tries to connect. Default every 30 seconds.
• Connect timeout(ms) - how long adapter waits for connection response inclusive authentication. Default 6 seconds.
• Scan response timeout(ms) - how long adapter waits for answers by scan of modules.
• Response timeout(ms) - timeout for control commands
• Ping Interval(sec) - how often adapter sends ping requests
• Ping response timeout(ms) - timeout for ping requests
• IN/OUT Relays are the same - if the "out" and "in" relays are the same thing or if these relays are different ones.
