KNX Integration shows entity as "hidden", but states are still working

Configuration
1

Hi,

I have around 140 KNX devices configured in HA and most of them are just working fine. Now I noticed something weird with 2 Window (Binary) Sensors.

Both sensors in the basement (Heizkeller and Werkstatt) are configured and shown in the list of KNX entities, but both are “hidden by integration”. Both represent the correct state, but I can’t unhide them. Any ideas what might be wrong here?

All KNX entities are defined in a knx.yaml. Below are all door and window sensors listet, where ALL but the named two (Heizkeller and Werkstatt) are working and showing up in dashboards, as expected.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Frank

Hi :wave:!
Have you tried to use the Cogwheel-menu in the Entity detail card?

Hi Matthias,

sure, that has been my first try. Since it is hidden by the integration, the button is greyed out :frowning:

(weird, I had this screenshot attached to the original post already…where did it go?)

Solved it: Problem between keyboard and chair :wink:

The affected entities had been members of helpers (groups) where I accidentally selected “Hide Members”. As I made this mistake on certain groups only, this caused the effect only on the named objects.
What misled me so much, was the statement “Hidden by INTEGRATION”. Would be more helpful in this case if it read “Hidden by Helper” or similar, so it would give a better hint into which direction to look for.

Have a great day

I was pulling my hair out because of the same issue. “hide members” had been enabled on one group of MQTT lights.
