Question
DALI devices can be commissioned through the KNX/DALI gateway, typically using ETS apps or manufacturer-specific tools.
Answer
True
Modern KNX/DALI gateways embed a DALI master controller that performs short-address assignment, group setup and scene programming on behalf of the installer. Many manufacturers ship a dedicated ETS App that exposes this DALI commissioning inside the ETS user interface, while others rely on a separate web tool or USB application. In either case the gateway is the interface between the KNX project and the DALI bus state.
Preparation tip
Always document which commissioning tool was used for the DALI side, so a future technician knows where to relaunch addressing after a ballast replacement.
