    2. Click Edit Scene to name each scene
    3. For each device, select which scenes it should participate in
    4. Save your configuration

    Panel Configuration

    Step 1: Create Electrical Panels

    1. Navigate to the Panels section
    2. Click Create Panel
    3. Enter a name and optional tag
    4. Define the panel size (to ensure all actuator modules will fit)
    5. Specify the location if needed
    6. Click Save

    Step 2: Add Modules to Panels

    1. Select a panel from your list
    2. Add required modules:
      • KNX power supply
      • Auxiliary power supply (if needed)
      • HyperVisu visualization server
      • IP gateway (if needed)
      • Master KNX actuator
    3. For master actuators, add extensions as needed to provide sufficient channels
    4. Verify that the channel count (shown in green) meets or exceeds your device requirements

    Step 3: Configure Outputs

    1. Click on a master module reference to access the output configuration
    2. View available channels for the master module and extensions
    3. From the right panel, drag devices onto the appropriate actuator channels
    4. Add circuit names to channels for easier documentation
    5. Continue until all devices are assigned to actuator channels

    Input Configuration

    Step 1: Add Input Devices

    1. Return to your Device List and add input devices (e.g., push buttons)
    2. Specify input channels for each device
    1. Navigate to the Input page
    2. Drag output devices (from the right panel) to input channels
    3. Configure actions for short and long presses
    4. Continue until all inputs are properly linked to their corresponding outputs
