Projects can be protected with passwords, or they must be if secure devices are used in the project. When one forgets the password, there is no possibility to recover a project. To prevent this from happening, we give you the opportunity to store the passwords in a safe way in your MyKNX account.
How does the Project Access Assistant work?
Prerequisites
- Active internet connection.
- Active MyKNX account with 2FA authentication enabled (Visit https://id.knx.org).
- Project Access Assistant License available in the active MyKNX account.
- ETS main license can be either Cloud or Dongle.
- Logged in in ETS6 with the MyKNX account (see 1.)
- ETS 6.3.0 or later.
How to activate the functionality
- Login in ETS6 with the MyKNX account having the Project Access Assistant license.
- Activate the Project Access Assistant license in ETS6 (like all apps)
- By activating the license, the “Store project access rights in MyKNX” option (under Data Storage > Project Access) is enabled by default.
- Set a project password on a non-password protected project or open a password protected project: ETS asks to enter the password and once entered ETS communicates in an encrypted form the key derived from the password to MyKNX.
How to deactivate the functionality
- Login in ETS6 with the MyKNX account having the Project Access Assistant license.
- Uncheck the box “Store project access rights in MyKNX” option (under Data Storage > Project Access). You can select to clear any encrypted communicated password to MyKNX.
- (optionally) Deactivate the Project Access Assistant license in ETS6 (like all apps)
