DolphinView (EnOcean Alliance, free of charge) is the reference tool for EnOcean developers and integrators: it sniffs radio telegrams, decodes EEPs, simulates devices and supports debugging during installation.
True
DolphinView connects to a standard USB EnOcean dongle (USB 300 or USB 500) and provides four core functions. Live radio sniffing shows every telegram on the 868 MHz band with timestamp and RSSI. Automatic EEP decoding translates raw payloads into human-readable values (e.g. F6-02-01 then "Rocker A pressed"). Device simulation lets you transmit synthetic telegrams to exercise a receiver. CSV log export feeds further analysis. It is a free download from enocean.com and is effectively the de facto field tool for any non-trivial EnOcean troubleshooting.
Before blaming a device, always sniff with DolphinView from the same physical position as the suspect receiver; a telegram visible at the laptop but not at the actuator points to local interference rather than a faulty sender.

- Smart Acknowledge (Smart Ack) is the EnOcean protocol for bidirectional communication with battery-less devices: the sensor registers with a Postmaster (a relay) that buffers commands destined for the sensor and delivers them during the brief listening window that follows each of the sensor's own transmissions.5.

- EnOcean is particularly well suited to the retrofit of existing buildings: sensors and buttons can be added without pulling cable or fitting batteries, with a 20+ year service life, making it ideal for heritage buildings or sites that are difficult to rewire.7. KNX integration · Retrofit-Anwendung
