knx-rust

Knx-rust is a library written in Rust implementing the KNXNet/Ip protocol, to enable communication with KNX-Devices through KNX Ip Gateways or Routers. The library is implemented without any io calls (https://sans-io.readthedocs.io/how-to-sans-io.html) to have minimal runtime requirements so that it could be used with tokio, async-std or mio only in embedded environments.

Usage

Add knx-rust as a dependency in Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
knx-rust = "0.0.1"

You need to make sure that the following functions called regularly (for exmaple in your event loop):

• knx.get_outbound_data() and send the retuned data out to UDP if there is some. There might be new data after initialisation or after a call to knx.send, knx.handle_inbound_message or knx.handle_time_events.
• knx.handle_inbound_message(buf) in case data is received from UDP. In case the data contains a group communication message is is returned by the function and could handled further
• knx.handle_time_events() needs to be called next at point in time defined by knx.get_next_time_event(). The time needs to be updated after data has been send out to UDP (after knx.get_outbound_data()).

Apart from that messages can be send to the bus at any time using knx.send(group_event).

An example how to interact with the library using mio or tokio can be found in the examples folder.

These examples can be executed using

cargo run --example group_tunnel_mio

or

cargo run --example group_tunnel_tokio
