NTRODUCTION

 

This  chapter  deals  with  the  creation  and  customization  of  rooms,  in  which  the  various  objects  are  grouped  in  the 
VISUALISATION. Normally it is recommended to keep the structure of the rooms similar to the structure of the building 
itself.  It  will  be  easier  for  the  user  to  control  the  building  through  the  VISUALISATION,  when  the  navigation  in  the 
VISUALISATION is the same as the user would have to do in the building for reaching a KNX device (light switch etc.). 
Such a VISUALISATION can only be created when the rooms are structured inside the  VISUALISATION at the same way 
they are structured in the real building and when in each room all the object are located, which are also truly installed as 
KNX devices in the real rooms of the building. This is only a recommendation; naturally the rooms can also be created 
freely and filled with any kind of object / function desired.

In order to create a new room in U.motion KNX Server Plus Touch: 
 

 

Access the ADMINISTRATION area 

 

Select ”VISUALISATION“ → „ROOMS“ 

 

Click on the ADD-button in the toolbar at the bottom 

 
The new room will be added to the sub-menu “ROOMS”. If an already existing room is selected when the ADD-button is 
pressed,  the  new  room  will  be  added  within  the  selected  room;  in  this  way  also  a  tree-structure  for  navigation  in  the 
VISUALISATION  can  be created  (e.g.  a  room  “1.floor”  could  contain  other  rooms  like  “kitchen”  or  “living  room”;  in  the 
VISUALISATION by accessing the room “1.floor” will be like accessing a sub-menu containing two other rooms “kitchen” 
and “living room”).
