Setting up a new group address
While adding a new group address or modifying an existing one, you can set a couple parameters. An example is shown in the image on the right. The group "0/0/77" is stands for a lamp. If "Readable" is set to, this object is read by OR KNX after connecting to the gateway. "Depends on" lists other group addresses which effect this group too, e.g. a "all lamps" group for a single lamp. The type can be choosen on a second view from more than 30 different types of objects - predefined ones with typical combinations of types/texts/icons or generic ones with KNX DPT data types which allow you to freely choose appendices and icons.

As it seems iKNX uses "groupValueRead" requests, it is important to turn off the "update" flag. It will avoid devices connected to a group address to update their status from the "quickest" answer while performing a read.
