Sending telegrams
To control other units with xxter, xxter will also need to send telegrams that can be teached in
by other devices.
To do this, create a new telegram in the configuration tool on the fourth tab (the enOcean
tab) by clicking the right mouse button somewhere on the sheet.
A sending telegram will always have a manufacturer ID of 0. You will need to manually select
a channel for every sending telegram, which needs to be unique. To send telegrams there
are 128 channels available, in a range from 0 to 127. When a switch telegram (RPS) is used,
four buttons van be used per channel. Therefore there are a total of 128 4byte telegrams,
512 switch commands or a combination of the two possible. This restriction only applies to
the sending telegrams.
When sending 4byte telegrams, the appropriate type and function also need to be
configured.
To teach a device the new sending telegram, activate “learning mode” on the receiving
device and send a learning telegram from the xxter configuration tool by clicking the “Send
learning telegram” button.
Of course sending telegrams can also be connected to actions using the configuration tool.
