KNX Binary Sensor

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

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

binary_sensor:
    - platform: knx
      name: "Entrance.Motion.Sensor"
      address: '6/0/2'
      device_class: 'motion'
      #significant_bit: 2

• name (Optional): A name for this device used within Home Assistant.
• address: KNX group address of the binary sensor
• device_class: (Optional) HASS device class e.g. “motion”
• significant_bit: (Optional) Specify which significant bit of the KNX value should be used. Default is 1.

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.

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

• name (Optional): A name for this device used within Home Assistant.
• counter: (Optional) 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. Defaults to 1.
• hook: (Optional): Indicates if the automation should be executed on what state of the binary sensor. Values: “on” or “off”. Defaults to “on”.
• action: Specify a list of actions analog to the HASS automation rules.
