Overview:
Unregistered devices are intended solely for manufacturers to test their products before they reach the market and should only be used for testing purposes, not in real projects. These devices may not comply with the KNX standard and therefore should not be used in real projects. It is advisable to check the online catalog or the manufacturer's website to see if a “registered” or “certified” version of the product data is available. If such a version exists, it should be used, and any existing product data in the project should be updated accordingly. Refer to the article here for instructions on how to change/update the Application Program.
Please note that if unregistered devices are used in real projects, the KNX Association assumes no responsibility and does not offer support for those projects.
Device Developer use either Manufacturer Tool license (MT) or Device Tester licenses and Device Tester should use Device Tester licenses to test unregistered devices in ETS. If you are a tester, you should request a “Device Tester License” from the manufacturer.
