Beginner question - Autmation - KNX triggers KNX with delay

Configuration
1

Hi there,
i would like to create a rule that:
If the KNX GA 2/0/6 switch from 0 to 1 a timer of 30 seconds should start and send the command to switch the KNX GA 1/1/51 to “off”.

Hope you can help me on this (it´s my second HA rule)…

Regards, Peter

Hi :wave:!
You can use a Knx Interface device trigger
see https://youtu.be/O3p3dISvTtI
and a delay in the action
see https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/scripts/#wait-for-time-to-pass-delay
to wait before calling the knx.send service
see https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/knx/#send

Keep in mind, that the run mode may abort/restart your automation while waiting for the delay when a trigger fires meanwhile.
See https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/automation/modes/

thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the instruction in the video acts different to my shown option. At 1min 10sec the entity is selected. This is not available in my HA:

Use a different Action block.

You probably don’t want to trigger the counter.increment service (unless you want to increment a counter entity - which you don’t have any of). Use knx.send or whatever you want to trigger.

you saved my day!

Frankly speaking,- i like Home Assistant and enjoy the powerfull tools but the automation section is much more complicated compare to openhab. I hope it is like everywhere that step by step it getting more understandable. I watched a lot of videos and read the instructrions but i recognize that due to different versions many topics are not applicable or different now…

Thanks again for your patience :wink:
