Add Device from the Online Library

After clicking on "Online Library", a window will open. Here, you can choose from a list of pre-made profiles to integrate devices into your system.

1. Search: At the top of the window, you'll find a search box. If you are looking for a specific device or profile, you can type it in here. The search finds profiles by several words in model, description, manufacturer and category (e.g. “inverter modbus”) and marks the hits.
2. Categories: The categories, such as shading, thermostat and switch, are listed on the left with the number of profiles each; All shows the full list. This helps you quickly find the right profile.
3. Select Profile:
   • For each device, the name and related platform will be displayed (e.g., KNX or MQTT).
   • Select the appropriate device from the list.
4. Download: Next to each device there is a Download button. It downloads the profile, closes the window and shows the profile in the Profiles list.
5. Create the device: The device itself is only created when you click Create device for the profile in the Profiles list (see Overview of Integrated Add-ons).

Most profiles come with a help page: what the device needs, how to set it up in nomos, which values the profile delivers and what it cannot do. All of them are listed under Device profiles (in German) — worth a look before you create a device.
