Problems to enable KNX binding

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm a new user to openhab, and I'm still in configuration phase.

The most important binding I need is KNX. I'm using a Gira IP Router (2167 00) 
to access the bus. I've successfully connected to from same subnet to the same 
IP using ETS4 and other KNX applications at Ipad and Android (ie. KNX 
Controller).

I struggled a bit with the KNX binding, until I found this: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/openhab/knx$20tunnel$20router/openhab
/O5kJyWTIMRs/tjjZh_MMLtoJ

I tested with ROUTER mode and it did not seem to do anything on the KNX bus.
I tested with TUNNEL mode and it did not seem to do anything until I gave my 
local ip address as well. 

Now it connects to KNX, since it prints to the console the outdoor temperature 
which is sent (with regular interval) by my weather station. (Temperature 
GA=0/0/1)

However, the following line is an attempt to read the very same GA, but does 
not seem to work:
Number Temperature_ULKO "Temperature ulko [%.1f °C]" <temperature> (GF_Living) 
{ knx="<0/0/1" }

It does not print that temperature value on the openhab GUI.

Another test I've tried:
Switch Light_Basement "Basement lights" (GF_Living, Lights) { 
knx="1.001:1/1/58+1/4/58" }
The switch button in the openhab GUI switches, and the console prints that the 
button switched but (normally) nothing happens with the device. At openhab 
startup I realized that the same GA toggled (even though I had not clicked it 
for a while). Openhab does not shutdown properly with these knx binding 
settings, it leaves the knx connection running and still continues to print the 
temperature values from bus to console. I have to kill the java process. Also 
the GUI seems to jam a bit.

I'm using openhab 1.1.0. As said, I'm in configuration phase, and my project 
consists mostly of the demo files.

I think this is a very exciting project, and hopefully I can get past these 
problems and be able to configure the building.

Hi Kristian,
There is no general issue that I am aware of with the KNX binding - many people 
use it successfully. So I assume that it is more a support / configuration 
issue. For this I would suggest to post your problem to the discussion group. 
If a real bug is isolated and can be described in a reproducible way, we can 
enter a dedicated bug issue for it.
