"Another trick that can be used is live monitoring. In the right pane of the PCT14 tool, you right-click and choose ID detection - on . You then get to see in the right pane hex ids of devices sending on the bus." https://github.com/cvanlabe/Eltako-home-automation/blob/main/README.md#learning-and-assigning-other-sensors

Question:
I cannot find this right-click menu. Can you please take a screenshot of the whole tool so that I can see this right-click context? I find the function interesting, but cannot find it.

Hey, just in PCT14, there's 3 panes.. left pane where you see your Eltako devices, middle pane where you find the configuration details of the selected device, and then there's a third pane on the right. If you expand that a bit, and right-click, you can monitor what's happening.

Ah thanks, I think I've seen that window before. But not yet in this installation :D

For everyone else, here is a small visual guide:

Right-click:
Menu item 1: If you are already connected to the FAM 14 and only want to switch on signal monitoring.
Menu item 2: If you want to connect to the FAM14 and also want to switch on signal monitoring.
Menu item 3: To switch off the monitoring. You will be reconnected to the FAM14.

Note: If you have monitoring on, the bus is not blocked and the modules are not blocked. If you press a button, an actuator is also triggered.

All 4 buttons on a TF-4PT triggered. (Top left, bottom left, top right, bottom right.)

For more information on the push-button see Eltako documentation (search for F4PT on page T-9):

Thank you @cvanlabe
Maybe you should refer to this issue in the documentary or what do you think?

Hey thanks! I'll see if I can integrate it in the documentation. Haven't been able to get to it yet, but it's definitely all on my mind and will be done. Thanks for helping to make great documentation for this! I was once told I should stay way from all this if I couldn't understand the Eltako documentation, but I'm happy to see we kind of all implicitly agree there's a lot of room for extra clarifications :-)
