## KNX can now be managed via the UI ## KNX can now be managed via the UI
_TODO: Add piece of text / story / context as provided by [@farmio]_ The [KNX integration] introduces the ability to manage entities directly from the
UI. If you have an ETS project file, configuring your devices is now more
intuitive; you can simply select an actuator from the side panel and drag and
drop its assigned group addresses into the configuration. Alternatively,
addresses can be found by name or number using dropdown menus.
You can now create, update, and delete KNX switch and light entities within the
KNX panel without touching or reloading YAML. More entity platforms will follow
in future releases.
The [KNX integration] now supports managing entities from the UI. This means <img src="/images/blog/2024-08/knx-panel-for-creating-entities.png" alt="Screenshot showing the KNX panel that allows to create entities right from the UI.">
you can now create, update, and delete KNX entities directly from the UI
in the brand new dedicated KNX panel.
<img src="/images/blog/2024-08/knx-panel-for-creating-entities.png" alt="Screenshot showing the brand new KNX panel that allows you to manage the entities created by KNX right from the UI."> Additionally, the underlying KNX protocol library, xknx, has been updated with
several improvements. One of the most notable changes is the support for a
broader range of Data Point Type (DPT) definitions. These can be used directly
within actions and triggers and can be inspected in the KNX GroupMonitor.
DPT definitions for color, dimming, time and HVAC modes are already available and
more will be added in the future.
[@farmio] has been working hard on these improvements and we are very happy with
the results!
