How can I read out a Boolean value via KNX?

Hello,

I found this thread, but unfortunately not the solution.

Exposing a boolean value to a KNX group address possible?

Hi, I’m trying to expose a boolean value (night=0, day=1) to a KNX group address. It seems that the KNX component doesn’t know about boolean values. The data point type of KNX is boolean, DPT 1.002 and configured to the GA 0/0/4, it’s an input object of a light switch. I tried various ways, but the message stays the same: ConversionError description="invalid value type" device_name="input_boolean.input_day_night" value_type="<boolean / or 1.002>" This is my config: knx: tunneling:…

It’s from 2019 and a lot has probably changed. That’s why I’m making a new Thread.

I would like to have the boolean value for “Day/Night” displayed by the KNX system. Unfortunately I can’t find the right “type”. How can I read out a Boolean value via KNX?

Thank you.

Hi !
Use a knx binary_sensor to read binary values from knx.
Use expose to forward a HA binary_sensor to Knx.

Thank you! A simple binary_sensor is the solution.
