In ETS Inside the only way to add devices into a project is by using the Online Catalog, which is shown when the button 'Add device' is shown.
This button is only visible in the location where a device can be physically installed in the Building Structure. So, if you want to add a device in a corridor, simply tap the 'Add device' button
By tapping the button, the Online Catalog window pops-up, where all the available KNX devices are shown, and grouped by manufacturer.
On the left side (1) you can scroll among all the available KNX manufacturers, and on the right side (2) you can scroll among all the available KNX products of the manufacturer that has been selected on the left side. You can also browse through all products from all manufacturers if you select the option on top 'All manufacturers'. If you want to search for a specific product, just type the name, or the order number of the product in the search field (3).
The online catalog displays the following information for all products (4):
- KNX Manufacturer Name
