Hi.
I have an door which is connected with the door (no KNX-Modul, but binary sensors and switching actuators).
I have following states & actions (for each an address)
- State - Door open / closed
- State - Door unlocked / locked
- Action: Unlock and open Door
- Action: Lock Door
Note: Unlock and lock are different physical wires and for this also different knx-addresses.
With a cover of device-type “door” I have only the option for either open/closed or unlocked/locked and unlock or lock (which are different addresses). Also for the cover with “door” I can see the “move to a dedicate position” option, which doesn’t make sense in this case. The cover isn’t really made for this. The cover works for a garage door, because it is almost the same as a window cover. But the house entry door is different.
The big issue is, that I need different addresses to perform a lock and unlock and that there are two different states, which would be great in one entity.
I could you use a combination of cover, binary sensor and buttons - but it is not very user friendly. And there there is another problem - I want to see it in HomeKit. Binary sensors and buttons are not showing up in the HomeKit. I know that there are Window- and Door-Elements are available for HomeKit, but I was not able to set them up.
Has anyone an idea to solve this, which will work for HomeKit too?
