Homekit + KNX + Buttons

Configuration
1

I have a front door as well as a garage door that is opened by pushing a button. So there is no state like you would expect from a switch.

How can I implement this in Homekit using Hassio?

Best regards,

Stefan

You could use the reset_after function of a knx switch.
Or the knx.send service.

Sounds good, thank you.

But there is no way to have this functionality in HomeKit through home bridge?

I don’t know, have not used homebridge.

If you want to forward it to HomeKit try a template cover and the HA homekit integration.

Using reset_after for a switch gives me an error.

Used reset_after: 1
also tried 1.0

Using reset_after on a binarySensor seems to work.

reset_after for switches was not accepted by HA. https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/42026#discussion_r522007397
Use knx.send or turn the switch off by an automation.

How do i send it every time the switch is pushed? I’m quite new to this topic.

Best regards,

Stefan

From a template switch I guess. There are always multiple options, but I haven’t done it myself yet.
