Multiple object / group address creation - pioneersteffen - 14.08.2022
Hello @all,
I need to create ~100 virtuell objects (10 per room and 10 rooms) and I don‘t want to do that manually.
Is there a way to import an Excel or something else that is creating an object/group address with the following attributes?
- Name
- group address
- Unit
- data type
- Tag
Many thanks for your help!
Best Regards
Steffen

You can use grp.create from a script: https://openrb.com/docs/lua.htm#grp.create
If you have rooms with the same object layout you can also use a for loop to create objects. Similar to this: https://forum.logicmachine.net/showthread.php?tid=724&pid=4087#pid4087

Many thanks admin. Is there a option just to create virtual objects? I haven’t found it in the documentation.

You can create virtual object with the same script.
but KNX object are from 0/0/0 til 31/7/255
virtual object are from 32/0/0 til 63/7/255

You can also set virtual = true in the grp.create config table without specifying the address directly. This way the next free virtual group address will be used.
