Family with multiple connectors an wiring

Hi community!

I have some issues with drawing wires between my familys. (lighnting and lighnting device)

I have a lightning device family (knx-device) that have 1 power connector for 230V supply and 1 controls connector for KNX bus supply. 

I draw wires in 2 different wievs for the 230V and KNX wiring annotation, but the wires keep adding homerun arrows when i am trying to draw the KNX bus. 

I think Revit chooses to connect on the power connector and that is the cause?

The power connector is assigned as primary

I there any way to choose what connector that the wire connects to when drawing wires? or is my approach wrong?

there are different types of connectors depending on there use. 

 

this light fixture has 2 power connectors and a data connector. when the Power option is selected you should get an option to which connector to connect to.

the connector Defines the System Type it can connect to.

Yeah that is not quite my issue. 

The issue appears when I annotate wires. lets say if i connect 30 KNX relay modules on the same KNX line with wiring, and those are spread out on 5 electrical circuits on another view with 230V wiring.

 

Then Revit puts all the circuit information on the wiring 

 

in this example you can se that I have 5 circuits on the same wire:

The family has 2 connectors. Control and power:

My hope is thath i could choose if the wiring that is drawed should connect on the control or the power connector for the family.
