Automation based on KNX event

Configuration
1

I have desperately tried for days to create an automation based on KNX events. I am trying to turn on a lamp based on this event:

variables:
  trigger:
    id: "0"
    idx: "0"
    alias: null
    destination: 0/7/1
    destination_name: ""
    direction: Outgoing
    dpt_main: null
    dpt_sub: null
    dpt_name: null
    payload: true
    source: 0.0.0
    source_name: Home Assistant
    telegramtype: GroupValueWrite
    timestamp: "2025-02-20T10:07:29.836215+01:00"
    unit: null
    value: null
context: null

… and turn off the same lamp for this event:

variables:
  trigger:
    id: "0"
    idx: "0"
    alias: null
    destination: 0/7/1
    destination_name: ""
    direction: Outgoing
    dpt_main: null
    dpt_sub: null
    dpt_name: null
    payload: false
    source: 0.0.0
    source_name: Home Assistant
    telegramtype: GroupValueWrite
    timestamp: "2025-02-20T10:07:29.836215+01:00"
    unit: null
    value: null
context: null

Hi :wave:!

So where did you fail in your attempts?

Maybe watch this: Home Assistant - KNX: trigger actions from a KNX switch

PS: why is your source: 0.0.0? What connection configuration do you use?

Thank you! Your suggested video pointed in the exact right direction for me. Got it working now!
