Basic KNX is an application that allows us to quickly and easily test a KNX installation. To use this application, you must have a running KNX installation which must have an interface with the IP network (KNX/IP Gateway). This application connects and submits data through "Tunnelling Services" provided by the KNXnet/IP protocol. In future updates, we will add the sending data capability through the "Routing Services". The application works when the iPhone/iPad is connected to the same network as the KNX/IP interface. This can be via Wi-Fi or VPN. This application allows the sending of BOOLEAN, BYTE, WORD and DOUBLE WORD data. At the moment the application is in English and Spanish. Other languages will be supported in future updates. For a more complete control of your installation, we invite you to use the Easy KNX application. If you have any suggestion or question, please contact us at software@iecor.com.

NTP Inspector is an application that allows you to check servers running the NTP protocol over the Internet and report some basic information. It sends an NTP packet from your device to the server and reports backs almost everything included in the response, like the protocol version, mode, the server Stratum, its precision, reference time, as well as whether there is a leap second today or not. With this app you can troubleshoot NTP servers from anywhere, as seen from your device, and not a remote server, with complete privacy. The app was created when I received an alert for one of my NTP pool servers while outside and without laptop access, with no other option to query it to see what's wrong.
