How to send a DPT 1.001 value from HA to KNX?

1

I am trying to use a KNX Button to send a binary DPT 1.001 value of 1 to the KNX Bus. Unfortunately the KNX Integration does not support that DPT type for Buttons? Is there any reason why? If I use a DPT 5 (1byte_unsigned) in the following:

button: 
  - name: "Deckenventilator An"
    address: 3/7/21
    type: 1byte_unsigned
    value: 1

I actually do see an event on the KNX bus in the ETS diagnose mode, however, it is not actually switching on the actor that waits for a binary 1 with DPT 1.001 on GA 3/7/21. If I send “a real” DPT 1.001 with value 1 from e.g. a KNX touch sensor, the actor actually reacts normally and switches on. See the two different events in the ETS diagnose window here (the only difference visible in the diagnose output seems to be the column DPT):

Any idea how I can make this work?

Btw, what is also strange is that if I use the HA developer tools to send a knx_event to that group address like this:

the HA says “Event knx_event successfully fired!” but no event actually ever arrives on the KNX bus (in the ETS diagnose mode)?

And yes, I did register the GA in HA with the following:

service: knx.event_register
data:
  address:
    - 3/7/21

Hi :wave:!
Just omit type. From the documentation:

payload_length integer (optional, default: 0) The length of the payload data in the telegram. Use 0 for DPT 1, 2 or 3.

There is even a “DPT 1 - True button” example in the documentation. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/knx/#button

You can’t send a knx_event to the bus… that’s only HA internal (like all events). You fire this event on the HA event bus.

To send telegrams use the knx.send service.

Great, thanks so much @farmio. I was stuck since in the Button description it says:

and then links to value types table where it only starts with DPT 5. I just didn’t see that type 0 (or just not specifying a type) will be DPT 1,2,3.
But now that I also realized, that I need KNX send to actually send a message out to the bus, in that UI it also described the payload for DPT 1,2,3. Thanks a lot!
