The knx sensor platform allows you to monitor KNX binary sensors.

{% linkable_title Configuration %}

The knx component must be configured correctly, see KNX Component.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
  - platform: knx
    address: '6/0/2'

{% configuration %} address: description: KNX group address of the binary sensor. required: true type: string name: description: A name for this device used within Home Assistant. required: false type: string device_class: description: HASS device class e.g., "motion". required: false type: string significant_bit: description: Specify which significant bit of the KNX value should be used. required: false type: integer default: 1 reset_after: description: Reset back to OFF state after specified milliseconds. required: false type: integer {% endconfiguration %}

{% linkable_title Automation actions %}

You can also attach actions to binary sensors (e.g., to switch on a light when a switch was pressed). In this example, one light is switched on when the button was pressed once and two others when the button was pressed a second time.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
  - platform: knx
    name: Livingroom.3Switch3
    address: '5/0/26'
    automation:
      - counter: 1
        hook: 'on'
        action:
          - entity_id: light.hue_color_lamp_1
            service: homeassistant.turn_on
      - counter: 2
        hook: 'on'
        action:
          - entity_id: light.hue_bloom_1
            service: homeassistant.turn_on
          - entity_id: light.hue_bloom_2
            service: homeassistant.turn_on

{% configuration %} name: description: A name for this device used within Home Assistant. required: false type: string counter: description: Set to 2 if your only want the action to be executed if the button was pressed twice. To 3 for three times button pressed. required: false type: integer default: 1 hook: description: Indicates if the automation should be executed on what state of the binary sensor. Values are "on" or "off". required: false type: string default: "on" action: description: Specify a list of actions analog to the automation rules. required: false type: list {% endconfiguration %}
