How does it work

Communication: iBEMI connects directly to KNX Bus through KNXnet/IP Gateway. Both connection types, KNXnet/IP Tunneling (including remote connections) and KNXnet/IP Routing, are supported.

Managing iBEMI: You are able to create custom profiles for your projects with the iBEMI Profile Editor. To transfer profiles to the app, you need to purchase a license for the iDevice which is running the app. After entering the license key in the app, iBEMI is synchronizing data of your project and you are able to load the custom made profiles. Once your iBEMI iDevice is registered, you can easily synchronize it with your account by pressing "Sync" button in "License" or "Profile" section.

How to set up KNX connection

You find the set up for KNX connection in Profile Settings on first page (root element in Pages treeview) in iBEMI Profile Editor. For the primary connection you can either select KNXnet/IP Tunneling or KNXnet/IP Routing. If your tunneling connection is a remote connection (that means you connect to the KNX Gateway via WAN/Internet), you have to to check NAT attribute.

For connection type KNXnet/IP Type you could set a custom port, for KNXnet/IP Routing you could set custom Multicast IP address and custom port. Usually you would not change these default values though.

In section Remote Connection you are able to set up an (optional) alternative connection. If establishing primary connection fails, iBEMI will try to connect KNX through this connection. If both connections fail, iBEMI will throw a connection warning and it will try connecting again (first primary, then alternative connection) after 20 seconds. Note: The alternative connection is used only, if connecting to primary connection failed. For KNXnet/IP Tunneling this is the case when the Gateway did not reply (timeout). However, if the Gateway replies and is giving negative connection response (if there is no open channel for instance), the alternative remote connection is not used in this case. For a primary KNXnet/IP Routing connection the remote connection is used if the device is not connected to WiFi (Ethernet). In the iBEMI Settings you could also set Connection Mode opton to Remote. In this case iBEMI will only use the alternativ remote connection you configured in this section.

Please note that the IP Addresses/Urls you enter are not verified. However, when you load the profile, iBEMI will throw a warning if the connection data is invalid.

How to change profile type

There are two different profiles types available for the App: iBEMI and iBEMI Light. If you create new Profile, there is the option "Create iBEMI Light profile" to create a profile which is compatible with iBEMI Light license (see Licenses: iBEMI and iBEMI Light). You are able to easily change profile type afterwards in iBEMI Profile Editor in Profile Settings on first page (root element in Pages treeview).

  ^ back

Licenses and Apps: iBEMI and iBEMI Light

There are two different license types available: iBEMI and iBEMI Light. The full license version (iBEMI) is purchased from the local KNX installer or directly from us and is used together with the iBEMI APP. The light license version (iBEMI Light) is already included in the iBEMI Light APP when purchasing it from the App Store.

The two license types differ in the profiles you could use with them. An iDevice with iBEMI Light license is limited to keep one profile at a time. Furthermore there are also limitations in the size of iBEMI Light profiles. You are able to add up to 89 KNX widgets to an iBEMI Light profile. There are also limitations for the full license, iBEMI. However, these limitations (defaultly you could place more than 5000 widgets - ask if you need more) shouldn't be relevant in common usage. Please contact us if you are struggling with iBEMI limitations.

Limitations Profiles Levels Extension pages Sub pages Number of widgets
 iBEMI 10 12 4 5 > 5000 (as default - extendable on request)
 iBEMI Light 1 1 1 0 89

If you are not sure, whether your custom profile exceeds iBEMI Light limitations, we recommend to first create an iBEMI Light profile, to test if its size is sufficient. You are always able to easily change profile type to iBEMI in the iBEMI Profile Editor in Profile Settings. Profile settings are accessed by clicking root element in the treeview of Pages section.

iBEMI Profile Editor: How to create your profile

Pages   On the left side you have the box Pages with the treeview where you can see the page layout of your profile.
 

I. Add a level and change the name to e.g. Floor 1, this page will be accessible in the iphone by scrolling down from the main view.

II. If you add an extension page it will be the page to the right, this page will be accessible in the iPhone by scrolling to the right from the main view.

You are able to move Levels and Rooms in the treeview by Drag&Drop.

Attributes  

In the middle you have the Attributes box with a list with all the configurable pramaters for the selected widget (as name, knx addresses etc.). There are "More Settings" option available for most widgets with optional attributes. Usually you don't need to configure these additional attributes.

Application preview

On the right side you have the Application preview with landscape and portrait view of the selected page. Most time you will work with the big landscape preview. You are able to add buttons/widgets by pressing an open spot in the page and to select buttons/widgets to change their attributes. On all the pages you are able to add/select buttons, value label and name label in header of the page. In addition to that you could configure the two custom symbols in the upper left corner on the first page (and its extension pages).

Furthermore you could move buttons to another spot in the page by Drag&Drop. You could do the same in the small portrait preview on the right side to create a different button layout for the page in portrait orientation.

 

Steps to build up your profile:

  1. If you open a new profile in the iBEMI Profile Editor by clicking Edit profile button, you will see one empty page with the chosen profile name in preview window. In Attributes box you will see Profile Settings. First thing that you should do is to configure KNX Connection according to your installation.
  2. Then you could go ahead and configure the content of the page to your needs: add buttons, add a value in upper right corner and you might also want to configure the header symbols.
  3. First page is now finished. Now you are going to add a new page. There are two options: if you want to add more buttons with kind of a global function which should be quickly accessible, you should add extension page(s) to the first page by pressing button Add Extension Page in Attributes box. Second option is to add a level page by pressing Add Level button in Pages box to start building up Level-Room structure of the profile.
  4. With extension page: proceed as with first page. On extension pages you are able to add up to 8 buttons. After finalizing the page you could again add another extension page or you could add a level page.
    With level page: usually you will add rooms to a level page by clicking Add Room button in Pages box. If you add a room, there will be a new room page added to the treeview in Pages box and you will see a button appearing on level page. This button is a Room Link button. If you press this button in the app, you will be navigated to the room page which is always placed to the right of the level page. If you create a new room, you should configure Room Link button (set name of the room, select an icon and maybe secure the room with PIN) and press the button afterwards to save selection. You could also add a conventional button to level page by clicking an open spot on the page and configuring button to your needs. You could set value lable for level page too.
  5. After creating room pages you could now add content by selecting them in treeview in Pages box and adding buttons and setting a value lable for each page. If you would like to add more buttons to one room you could add extension page(s) by pressing button Add Extension Page. In the app extension pages of a room are placed beneath the first page of the room. They share the same name as the room page but besides that they can be configured independently from room page.

There are limitations for the size of the profile. However, with iBEMI license they shouldn't be relevant. Check Licenses: iBEMI and iBEMI Light for further information.

Time Control

 

This button function is used to send a time value (DPT_TimeOfDay). On button press a window is shown where you could pick a time. The time is sent directly after picking it.

You are able to add a Switch Object (1bit) to this function. In this case, the time picker popup window is prompted on long press of button - short press is assigned to switching action. The time interval before showing time control view could be set at "Time interval before showing control view" under More Settings. You could show the current status (ON/OFF) of the connected actuator. The button is adapting state from KNX group address which is entered at entry KNX Address for status indication. This feedback address could be polled - if polling is chosen, KNX Address should be set as readable so that current state could be fetched by the app.

Room Link

 

Room Link buttons are placed on the level page - every room link button is representanting a room in the level. If you press this button in the app you are navigated to the corresponding room.

If you select a Room Link button in the iBEMI Profile Editor, you could set the name of the room and you are able to select an icon for the room link button. Under More Settings you also find an option called PIN Secured: If you set this option the content of the corresponding room would not be shown in the iBEMI app - you have to enter the PIN first. The PIN is set in Profile Settings but it can also be easily changed in the iBEMI Settings later.

Room Link buttons can't be moved directly on level page, you could move the room page in treeview to do so though.

iBEMI Styles

 

 

iBEMI and iBEMI Light both offer you a wide range of customization to create your very personal remote control for your home! To change the appearance of your APP go to section Style in the App Settings. Here you find six different premade styles to choose from:

Gradient

 

Solid

 

Pattern

   
 

Images

 

White

 

Custom

   

 

Style selection Image and Custom provide the possibility of further customization. With style Image you have to press Add Images at the bottom to add your own background images to your room pages.

With style Custom you are completely free to create your own personal style. You find two options Edit Global Style and Edit Single Pages at the bottom to make your own composition. If you press Edit Global Style you will see the general style settings which apply to all pages and buttons in your profile. In the first section Colors you can modify the 20 color references which will be available for this profile and which you can choose from in the entries below (e.g. button color). With Edit Single Pages you are able to modify the appearance of single pages and buttons in the profile (- so that they look different from the style for the whole profile which you set in Edit Global Style). So if you want one certain button to be red and not blue as set in Edit Global Style you press Edit Single Page, navigate to the page where the button is and change the button color through the BUTTONS menu.

Custom Style Notes:

Custom Style is stored per profile: The Custom style is saved in the profile. So if you make changes to the custom style for one profile and you then change the profile, this profile will look different when you select Custom in the Style page. Reset Custom Style will reset all the parameters in the Style Setup for the current profile to the factory defaults.

Saving Global Style: When you press Save in the Style Setup (Edit Global Style) you will be prompted a pop-up window with two options: Keep Custom and Apply To All. When you press Keep Custom, the changes that you might made before through Edit Single Pages (like changing the color of one button in the profile to red) will not be affected. So in this case this one button from before would remain red (side note: if this color reference was not changed in the global style). If you press Apply To All, the global style for the profile will be applied to all buttons and pages. Changes you might have made through Edit Single Pages would be gone.

Profile Sync Warning: With Edit Single Pages you are able to change names and icons of rooms and buttons. So if you change the name of a room in the profile this is stored locally on your iDevice. In this case if you sync your profile, there will appear a pop-up window asking whether you would like to keep the room name which is stored locally (option: Keep Local) or if you would like to change it to the name which is stored in the original profile online (option: Update from Server).

The Monitor comes with a Filter tool, Send Message feature and you are able to save logs and send them via e-mail in ETS compatible format. Furthermore there is a special Long Time Recording mode available to capture large numbers of telegrams.

Defaultly the Bus Monitor is added to the app. However, you can disable it for a profile in its Profile Settings to simplify the App Settings - Bus Monitor would not be listed there in this case. To access the Bus Monitor you need to set "Add Monitor to title bar" option in the App Settings (Note: This option is not available if Bus Monitor is disabled for the loaded profile as described before). Back in the App you then open the Bus Monitor through dragging down the title bar. You start recording telegrams by pressing Play button in the title bar. On the bottom bar you find three buttons for filtering log, sending message and saving log features. By dragging up from these buttons you will dismiss the Bus Monitor and come back to your profile.

By pressing the Filter button on the left hand side the Filter menu will appear. This menu enables you to filter easy and fast for the content you'd like to see. There is also a fast filter function: if no feature is selected (neither Filter nor Send Message feature) and you select one message in the log, all messages with this KNX Group Address are highlighted - when you press the filter button, all the other messages are filtered away. It has never been so easy to track one KNX actuator!

The intuitive Send Message menu makes sending telegrams from 1bit switch value to 14byte text or a read request really simple. Tip: If you select a message in the log, the Send Message engine is adapting the attributes of the selected message. Try it out!

In the Monitor you can access the message details by pressing the blue disclosure button on the right hand side. Here you are able to set a name and a KNX Datapoint Type not only for this message but for all messages with the same KNX Group Address. The Datapoint Type is set in section Data Format. Please note that it cannot be set at read request messages.

In the Monitor log you are able to set names for group addresses so that you can easily allocate telegrams. In the Monitor setup you can select whether the button names of your currently loaded profile should be shown in the Monitor log for the corresponding KNX Group Address (that is the address of the button) or you could select blank name fields. This option is selected default and it is called Loaded Profile, the second option Blank won't assign any names to addresses initially. In both cases the name for an address could be customized in the telegram details.

 
 

The standard recording mode is limited to keep 5000 messages at a time. However, in the Monitor setup you find an option called Long Time Recording. The Long Time Recording mode is made to capture large numbers of messages. In this mode the interface of the Monitor is slightly changed to reduce system load and the log is directly written to an output file for higher reliability. Due to the same reason, the Send Message feature is disabled and also the Filter function is simplified. In Long Time Recording mode the Monitor window is showing the received telegrams ordered by group address. For each address it is printing the number of received telegrams plus the content of the last received telegram. In this way you also get a great overview of the current status of your KNX.

Note: Please notice that the monitor is only recording when the app is active. So make sure to turn Off Auto-Lock of your iDevice when you want to record over a longer time period.

Demo Mode

 

If the iBEMI Demo Profile is loaded, you are easily able to configure the eight widgets on the first two pages in the profile to your needs.

The configurable widgets are the ones on the first page (the two big buttons + the value in the upper right corner) and the five widgets (four buttons + the value in upper right corner) on the extension page to the right hand side of the first page. In the Demo Profile the KNX system is defaultly connected through KNXnet/IP Routing.

You can configure these widgets to your needs with the In-App Configurator which you find in the App Settings under iBEMI Demo Setup. See the chapter below for detailed information.

In-App Configurator

The widgets on the first two pages of the iBEMI Demo Profile can be easily configured with the In-App Configurator. You find it in the App Settings under iBEMI Demo Setup. 

If you want to change the connection type to KNXnet/IP Tunneling, you have to enter the IP Address or URL of your KNXnet/IP gateway in section KNX Connection. The Multicast IP address for KNXnet/IP Routing can't be customized in the iBEMI Demo Profile.

The widgets of a page can be configured in the respective page section. Page 1 is the first page with the two buttons, Page 2 its extension page which is placed to the right hand side of the first page. In section Top Bar in the Page setup you are able to configure the value which is displayed in the upper right corner of the page. In the Demo profile you are limited to either show a temperature or a brightness value there.

In section Control Elements you can configure the buttons of each page. In the Demo profile you can choose from button function Switching, Lightscene and Dimming (1 byte) and adapt the different attributes to your needs. To keep it more simple and intuitive not all the parameters are listed that you could configure for the same element in the iBEMI Profile Editor. (e.g. for button function Dimming you can't set a separate KNX Group Address for feedback of value)

Don't forget to press Update Demo in the iBEMI Demo Setup page to apply the changes you made.
