2. Go 1. After importing the flow go to the first node - knxEasy-in. Make sure that Set the gateway, group address and Datapointare set correctly.

...

Provide the factual IP address and port of the gateway (the one in the flow is

...

an example).

...

Check if the group address given in the knxEasy-in node is the same as the one you want to control.

...

Datapoint should be set to 3.007

...

3. Go to the The Vertex action node . Actions are already is set, but if you would like to make some modifications, you can do this (at your own risk (wink) )so you do not need to make any changes.

...

4. Deploy the program and test itDo not forget to click Done and Deploy!
