You can use the SmartServer to integrate and manage EnOcean devices. To set up and use EnOcean with the SmartServer, follow these steps:
- Add an EnOcean network interface as described on this page.
- Download, download and modify, or create an EnOcean device interface (XIF) and device type definition as described on this page.
- Define datapoint properties for any datapoints to be monitored or logged as described in Setting Datapoint Properties.
- Define or discover, and provision devices as described in Site Provisioning. See the following sections on this page for step-by-step examples:
- To optionally provide a BACnet interface for your EnOcean device see Setting up the BACnet Server. This enables you to use a BACnet workstation with your EnOcean device.

To add support for communicating with EnOcean devices, attach an EnOcean USB network interface to your SmartServer as described in USB 300, 300U, 400J, and 500U EnOcean Network Interfaces.
Downloading and Creating EnOcean Device Interface (XIF) and Device Type Definitions
You can download and optionally modify EnOcean device interface (XIF) and device type definitions. You can also manually create custom EnOcean XIF and device type definitions. To download and modify EnOcean device interface (XIF) and device type definitions, follow these steps:
- To download EnOcean XIF definitions, download the EnOcean device type package (.dtp) files from the SmartServer GitHub Repository You can optionally modify the EnOcean XIF files to hide selected datapoints.
- To create a custom EnOcean XIF definition (.eno), see (Optional) Creating a Local EnOcean Device Interface (XIF) Definition.
- To create a custom EnOcean device type definition (.dtd), see Defining Device Types.
- Import the EnOcean device interface (XIF) and device type definitions using the Import / Export button () on the SmartServer app bar.
When the EnOcean XIF and device type definitions are loaded, the device type definitions will appear in the Device Types widget. - Define datapoint properties for any datapoints to be monitored or logged as described in Setting Datapoint Properties.
