knx-prettyView

Docker Compose file for the easy to use KNX pretty view visualization.

[!NOTE] !! In development

how to use it

To run the KNX Pretty View you need three containers.

• biacsics/knx-pretty-view-server (The backend and communication to the KNX-bus)
• biacsics/knx-pretty-view-app (The web frontend)
• mariadb (The database to hold configuration and historical KNX-bus data )

KNX Pretty View server

The server is a node backend. It was developed in typescript with express and socket.io. It consists of the following modules:

• KNX-Server (The KNX-module for the KNX-communication. Read and write access to the KNX-Bus)
• DataPointManager (Manage the data points and write them into the database. tracked values)
• DataManager (Gets the data from the KNX module and saves the data for charts into the database)
• REST & Socket Provider (Communication endpoint for the web frontend)

KNX Pretty View app

The web frontend is developed with the angular.io framework.

At the time it provides the following section:

• Playground (The playground is for the visualisation. You can have multiple playground at the same time)
• Datapoint Manager (Automatically retrieves recognized data points from the backend and show them in a list view)
• Datapoint Trend (Display historical data in a multi-axis line chart)
• Studio Section: SVG-Editor(without demo data), Template studio(inactive), image studio(for background images)
• User Management (Profile(current user), User List)

Quick Overview

First start

Download the docker-compose.yml and save in into a directory. Run the command in the same foulder where the docker-compose.yml file is stored: docker compose up

If all three containers running you can access the KNX Pretty View over the url:localhost and port:4000 http://localhost:4000

Username: administrator Password: passwort

If you run the KNX Pretty View the first time, the docker-compose.yml provides two volumes.

• KNX-PrettyView-DB (The database volume for backups. Direct access to the database files)
• KNX-PrettyView-Server (The server volume for the environment file and certification files)
