Hi
Pretty new to knx integration and ran into a little problem, I want to control the dimming from this
and have it show the status of the dimmer if the switches are used. I got the on/off working
Could someone point me in the direction of a solution, the dimmer in ETS is configured to get status switch state from object switch/status
Thanks in advance

You’ll need a brightness (and eventually brightness status) group address as well. Then configure your light following the documentation https://www.home-assistant.io/components/light.knx

I got that far but got stuck in finding the group objects I need to use

Which dimmer actor are you using? I guess you have ETS - you could post a screenshot of available communication objects here. I can help you identify the right ones.

You will need object 13 or 38 (A or B). If these objects are not already in an existing group address just create a new one.
In HA use this group address as brightness_address
and brightness_state_address
as there are no dedicated state communication objects.

Reviving this old post, since I have the exact same issue and it might help others, too.
Reading the brightness works (if I dim the light with my KNX wall switch, the correct value is reflected by HA in Lovelace, e.g.).
But if I try to dim via HA/Lovelace, the physical light does not change at all.
Here my ETS screenshot (Merten LL REG-K/4x230):
and my YAML:
- name: "XXX Decke"
address: "1/2/11"
state_address: "1/2/13"
brightness_address: "1/2/12"
brightness_state_address: "1/2/38"
No change, if I use “1/2/38” also as “brightness_address”, btw.
Any idea?

Never mind, solved it myself, but will keep it here as a knowledge library
“brightness_adress” has to be linked to object “12” (above, ETS)
