Aquara Switch to switch on KNX Light

Configuration
1

Hello all,

I’m stuck with an aquara zigbee switch that I want to use to turn on my KNX Garage light. All examples I find only describe a scenario where a KNX wall switch triggers a HUE light, so far I couldn’t find an example that describes an oposite scenario eg. Hue /Aquara Wall switch triggers KNX light. My problem is when I want to use an Automation it’s not possible to select the KNX light for the Action. So it’s possible to select the aquara switch as trigger and I can also switch on my Hue Light with an Automation, but I can not get it work with KNX. Any suggestions

You can’t select the Knx Light as “Device” since Devices are not supported by Knx. You’ll need to select it by entity - possibly via the service light.turn_on - not exactly sure.

I found a solution:
In the configuration.yaml: ```

knx:
light:
- name: “Buero”
address: “X/X/X” #The Group Adress
Then create an Automation: Settings->Automation->Empty Template->Cnfigure your Trigger…->Under Action select Execute service–>Home Assistant Core Integration: Generic toggle -->Then select your Entity—> Enjoy

  • id: ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’
    alias: Neue AutomatisierungTest
    description: ‘’
    trigger:
    • platform: device
      device_id: MyAquaraSwitchID
      domain: homekit_controller
      type: button1
      subtype: single_press
      condition: []
      action:
    • service: homeassistant.toggle
      data: {}
      target:
      entity_id: light.buero
      mode: single

This is how I have it set up for my KNX controlled lights.
