Just for reference (as may be related): after startup of HA, all lights work correctly and I can action the covers. However the covers’ state is NOT correctly reflected.
Can anyone please provide some guidance how to get rid of the error ?
I apologize: I removed the “expose:” line, as I thought not relevant (I was fiddling around to see if it could solve my issue with the covers not having a correct state, after reboot).
Please find below my full config, related to KNX: configuration.yaml, lights_KNX.yaml, covers_KNX.yaml, expose_KNX.yaml.

# Entity id to be exposed. Not needed for types time, date and datetime.
# - attribute: (string, optional)
# Attribute of the entity that shall be sent to the KNX bus.

# Eg. a light with state “off” has no brightness attribute so a default value of 0 could be used.
# If not set (or None) no value would be sent to the bus and a GroupReadRequest to

Try to use attribute: current_position on your cover exposes.
When you expose just the state it tries to convert “closed” to a % value - which is not possible.
Why are you forwarding a state that is received from knx to knx?
I will firstly remove the “Expose” and see if the error with init.py persists.
If not, I know I need to correct the expose- section.
PS: I merely tried the “Expose” route, to solve an issue I have with my covers, not showing the correct state after a reboot (even though there is a ‘position_state_address’). I am not clear on what this ‘Expose’ section is supposed to do, based on what I could read in the documentation.
Expose is used to forward states or attributes of HA entities to knx.
That said you can always suggest improvements to the documentation via GitHub. This would be much appreciated.
Many thanks for your kind help.
I will install v2020.12.x soon to see if this solves my issues.
As to the documentation: I believe it would be clarifying if the sentence you have written “Expose is used to forward states or attributes of HA entities to knx.” is added at the beginning of the “Expose” section. It provides the right context, in my opinion.
I think this is more or less what is written in the documentation, but I’m no native english speaker.
KNX integration is able to expose entity states or attributes to KNX bus. The integration will broadcast any change of the exposed value to the KNX bus and answer read requests to the specified group address. It is also possible to expose the current time.
If you can rephrase it so it is easier understandable for a broader audience, don’t hesitate to go to KNX - Home Assistant and follow the link on top reading Edit this page on GitHub.
Your help will be appreciated.
