read and display KNX Values

Today, after long time (years) of thinking I finally made a breakthrough in managing to read and display values other than binarys! The solution is sooooo simple:

The Zipabox KNX Module only supports th first DPTS out of a DPT-Group...

E.g. there is no 5.010, which is highly used within KNX devices. If you want to display 1byte numbers and don't want them to be scaled from 0-255 to 0% - 100%, you simply need to select a different 1byte Datatype. In my case I used 17.001.

Now, when you set the parameter within the baos device setup to dpt 17. the challanging part comes afterwards. You associate the baos object of dpt 17 to a group which may already be set to be 5.010. But as long as it is the same length (1byte) this works in ETS. But I needed to select the baos objekt once more and then set it again to 17.001.

then programm the baos device (zipabox knx module) and proceed with the import tool or the direct import by writing the code yourself...using 17.001 or what ever values you are using.

In case of dpts 9.007 oder 9.008 always use 9.001 for example...The Zipabox will not know the KNX units anyway!
