You may not have understood my last post

The bug is in Comfigurator output status display only, not the actual output state.
In other words you may see the wrong output on the output status display but the correct output is actually triggered by the command

You have KNX address 2/0/1 mapped to a Virtual Input 41, and Virtual Input 41 has On response Pulse Output 13 for 5 second.

If KNX address 2/0/1 ON command is [color=\"#ff0000\"]received from KNX, [/color]it will trigger Virtual Input 41 ON, which causes a Pulse on Output 13  (BTW Note that you can directly map to an Output ON or OFF or Pulse for 1 second, but not pulse for 5 seconds)

This should work - guaranteed

You may see the wrong output on the Outputs status in Comfigurator but that display does not affect what the real output is doing
Have you actually tested this?
Note that this works only for a Received Group address 2/0/1 from KNXY[color=\"#ff0000\"]ou cannot test this by pressing the Switch Device On and Switch Device Off buttons in the KNX to Comfort window[/color]. That sends to telegram to KNX 2/0/1 - It does not cause a telegram to be received from 2/0/1 and so that button does not trigger the Virtual Input. From your Monitor IO window I do not see any Virtual Input report so it may be that you did not actually cause the 2/0/1 device to send to KNX




Also from your cclx file your Hall Lights control has On and Off commands to a KNX address. But no Feedback so using the app you would not know the status of the light.

Having control without real time status is not particularly good when it is possible to give status

You can map KNX devices to a Flag or Counter. any change in the KNX onject will synchronise with the mapped Flag or Counter
Putting the mapped Flag or Counter in Feedback will givbe the real time state of the KNX device


Map the KNX Object to a Flag  

eg 0/3/1 1 bit object map to Flag 1 below





In the control Menu, select  Feedback Type = Flag, Feedback Register = Flag 1





The feedback will give the true status of the KNX Object 0/3/1

You can control the KNX device mapped to the flag just by setting and clearing the Flag, you do not need a Response to control the KNX device.





When Flag is the Feedback, configurator automatically adds 0=Off, 1 = ON actions. 

You do not need responses to turn on and off the flag.Leave the response blank. 

When Flag is the feedback and On and Off responses are blank as above, Off will automatically clear the mapped Flag and On will automaticaly set the Flag. 


Much easier to program and better for the user
