    2828One of the main challenge is to have a good comprehension of the KNX specifications. As these specs are not freely available (they cost a lot!), I have to search here and there to find and bring pieces all together. Source code of other free projects are a great source of information, and I want to thanks the authors; some are still working on their projects, and are all very nice when I ask them for informations.

    30 My first idea was to build a complete KNX stack in python, to avoid compilation of low level tools, like '''eibd'''. But in fact, this is the most difficult part! KNX bus communication is based on OSI layers, so it needs to have a very good comprehension of this model to implement it. I decided to first focus on the core of pKNyX, which is '''virtual Devices''' implementation. The bus communication will rely on '''eibd''', and the python KNX stack will be developed later.
