Hi,
I need to invert a KNX status in HA. I am using a KNX switch and I already tried to solve this with ETS using a logic gate, but it didn’t work. Basically, the light status is 1 and I need to HA shows it to 0.
Any idea to solve this?
Use a template switch or binary sensor
How can I invert the status using the template switch? Thanks
Do you want to invert the switch, or the status of a sensor?
- I have an output of an knx actuator connected to a NC Relay that is controlling an oven.
So when the output is on the relay is off and when the output is off the relay is on. - I imported this output to homekit using HA as a switch, but the status is inverted.
That’s the real case scenario.
You should use a binary sensor to report the (inverted) status:
binary_sensor:
- platform: knx
name: Entity ID from knx
state_address: 'x/y/z'
- platform: template
sensors:
oven_inverted_status:
friendly_name: "Oven"
value_template: >-
{{ is_state('binary_sensor.entity_id_from_knx', 'off') }}
And how can I link that with homekit switch ?
Sorry, my bad. You should indeed have a switch instead like this:
switch:
- platform: knx
name: Oven relay switch
state_address: 'x/y/z'
- platform: template
switches:
oven:
value_template: "{{ is_state('switch.oven_relay_switch', 'off') }}"
turn_on:
service: switch.turn_off
data:
entity_id: switch.oven_relay_switch
turn_off:
service: switch.turn_on
data:
entity_id: switch.oven_relay_switch
homekit:
It will automatically appear in your Homekit if there is no filter or anything set…
I will give it a try, thanks mate
