The `knx` switch component is used as in interface to switching actuators.
To use your KNX switch in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
- platform: knx
name: KNX Switch
address: 0/0/1
```
- **name** (*Optional*): A name for this devices used within Home assistant
- **address** (*Required*): The KNX group address that is used to turn on/off this actuator channel
- **state_address** (*Optional*): Some KNX devices can change their state internally without any messages on the KXN 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 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.
