The switchover of the operating modes via 1 Byte occurs by only one object, with the size of 1 Byte,
the DPT_HVAC Mode 20.102 of KNX-specification. Additional, there are 2 objects for the visualization
available, the 1 By

evaluates the received value and switches the belonging operating mode on and the active operating
mode off. If all operating modes are switched off (Hex-value=0), the operating mode standby will be
switched on.
The Hex-values for the operating modes are shown at the chart:

Table 28: Hex-Values for operating modes
The following example shall clarify how the controller handles received Hex-values and switches
operating modes on or off. The chart is to read from the top to the down.
Example:
The priority was set as
Frost/Comfort/Night/Standby.

The DPT HVAC Status communication, DPT_HVAC Status (without number) of KNX-specification,
object sends the hex value for the adjusted operating mode. When more than one testify is valid, the
hex values are added and the communication object sends the added value. The hex values can be
read from visualization afterwards.
The following chart shows the hex values for the single messages:

If you heat at the comfort mode, the communication object will send the value 20 (for heating) +1
(for the comfort mode) =21.
