A few release ago the knx entities “dashboard” has been introduced.
But i do not actually understand how to use it and i do not find any documentation.
Is there anything available?
Best regards,
Stefan
Just hit the + Add button in the right lower corner. Imho it’s self explanatory.
One thing that may not be obvious is that YAML configured entities will not appear here.
Oh i think my question was to general :).
Is there any difference between adding entities here vs. in yaml?
While i understand the KNX configuration (which is obviously the same i can do in yaml).
What is the entity config for? Is this to combine multiple entities into a device?
And what are the options under “Advanced” good for? (Config/Diagnostics)
Is addings sensor throught the UI on the roadmap too?
The device grouping is the only difference currently.
Yes… and for setting a default name.
Same as for YAML entity_category. https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/#registry-properties
Technically it’s possible. There is no roadmap though as I don’t want to commit to plans / dates / deadlines for a hobby. Contributions are always welcome 
Ok thank you!
As much as I remember de UI entities have a unique id, while the yaml entities are using the GAs as id. So the GAs of the UI entities might be changed without resulting in new entities, while this is not possible for yaml entities.
Pls correct me if I am wrong!
To be precise, they use some of the GAs, so you can change the others, but changing one of the significant GAs creates a new entity. 
Hello,
I have never used HA only for visualizing my solar system. And that was really cool.
Now with the KNX interface it is finally really usable.
So far, however, I only want to display the data on a dashboard.
I just can’t do it. I can’t even find an entity.
Does anyone have an example of how I can display a room temperature?
E.g. 8/2/3.
Youtube has nothing in this direction yet.
Hi 
!
There’s a really good source of information exactly for this: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/knx/#sensor
Hmmmm… but (still) via the yaml.
I thought that was obsolete now.
Couldn’t you just check the box and then the entity is in HA?
Very cumbersome.
But ok. It’s still early days.
For now only lights are configurable using the UI, all other entities have to be configured using yaml.
Couldn’t you just check the box and then the entity is in HA?
I don’t know what box you mean but still the answer is probably “no”.
In KNX you have a bunch of independent group addresses, the entities in Home Assistant however connect multiple group addresses to a single entity (f.e. a liht with address and state_address). Given that the group addresses in KNX are unrelated to each other it is almost impossible to automatically create entities.
