The knx light component is used as in interface to switching/light actuators.
The knx component must be configured correctly, see KNX Component.
{% linkable_title Configuration %}
To use your KNX light in your installation, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
light:
- platform: knx
name: Kitchen-Light-1
address: '1/0/9'
brightness_address: '1/0/11'
Configuration variables:
- address (Required): KNX group address for switching the light on and off.
- name (Optional): A name for this device used within Home Assistant.
- brightness_address (Optional): KNX group address for dimming light.
- state_address (Optional): separate KNX group address for retrieving the switch state of the light.
- brightness_state_address (Optional): separate KNX group address for retrieving the dimmed state of the light.
- color_address (Optional): separate KNX group address for setting the color of the light.
- color_state_address (Optional): separate KNX group address for retrieving the color of the light.
Some KNX devices can change their state internally without any messages on the KNX bus, e.g., if you configure a timer on a channel. The optional state_address can be used to inform Home Assistant about these state changes. If a KNX message is seen on the bus addressed to the given state address, this will overwrite the state of the switch object.
For switching/light actuators that are only controlled by a single group address and can't change their state internally, you don't have to configure the state address.
