Presets

In this section, you can assign numeric IDs to the presets available on the selected Bluesound device.

A preset can then be started by sending the assigned ID to the Smart Home App via a KNX group address. This allows presets to be triggered from KNX push-buttons, automation functions, or building control scenes.

Preset Trigger (EIS 14, 0–255)

Enter the group address used to start a configured preset.

When an integer value is received, the Smart Home App searches for a preset with the corresponding ID. If a matching assignment is found, the selected preset is started.

Value

Function

1–255

Start the preset assigned to the corresponding ID

Unassigned value

No action

Note

An ID can only start a preset if it has previously been assigned in the preset list.

Preset List

The preset list displays all configured assignments.

You can add new entries and copy, edit, or delete existing ones.

When adding, copying, or editing an entry, the following parameters are available.

ID

Assign a unique numeric ID to the preset.

This ID is later sent as the value of the configured KNX group address to start the preset.

The valid range starts at 1. Since the communication object uses the EIS 14 data type, only values between 1 and 255should be used.

Recommendation

Assign each ID only once to ensure a unique mapping.

Preset

Select one of the presets available on the selected Bluesound device.

The Smart Home App links the selected preset to the configured ID.

If the required preset is not displayed, verify that it is available on the selected Bluesound device and refresh the list.

After Preset Playback Ends

Select how the Smart Home App should behave after playback of a preset started via an ID has finished.

Selection

Behavior

Do Nothing

Previously playing content is not resumed automatically.

Return to Previous State

The playback state that existed before the preset was started is restored.

When Is Preset Playback Considered Finished?

A preset does not provide a dedicated signal indicating that playback has ended normally. Therefore, stopping playback always ends the preset session.

You can also define how the Smart Home App behaves when a playlist is started immediately afterwards.

Selection

Behavior

Only When Playback Stops

The session ends only when playback is stopped. Starting a playlist continues the existing session without restoring the previous playback state first.

When Playback Stops or a Different Trigger Follows

The session also ends when a playlist is started while preset playback is active. In this case, the configured action for the end of preset playback is executed first.

Note

Starting another preset is considered the same type of trigger and therefore does not end the current preset session prematurely.
