In the sample attached, i need to replicate the LCD screen of a kaypad into a \"virtual keypad\" on screen.
At this time, i have managed to have the security state vis KNX, and the name of the opened zones, but my question is:

is there a way to replicate full keypad LCD text , in a KNX group address?
Thanks.

You mean to show \"Security Off\" and whatever is displayed on the LCD?
I do not think so as I think the KNX does not have a way of sending text

KNX does have a \"14 bytes text\" type, suitable for each LCD row.

Yes, you are right, In fact Comfort can send text to KNX using the 14byte telegram type.
see attached picture
But the keypad text cannot be automatically sent to KNX, it has to be part of a Response

Thank you for the hint.
