Importing groups from ETS

How to export groups from ETS to a .esf file and import them into Ilevia Manager to associate them with components.

Introduction

Importing ETS groups speeds up the component configuration process within the Ilevia project. To import the entire project from a .knxproj file, see the guide Importing an ETS project into Ilevia Manager.

Import procedure

Step 1:

To begin, we will export the project from ETS, then import it into Ilevia Manager.

Right-click the selected project, choose Export, then save it in a folder of your choice with the .esf (OPC EXPORT) extension.
