Knx light with only Percentage control

Configuration
1

Did I miss something, or is it not possible to add a light without a address for on/off?

I use a DaliGateway that automatically controlls on/off for the power based on the requested brightness of the lamp. So I actually do not have any switching group for it on the knx side. Trying to configure this via yaml did not work (as i kinda expected, as the documentation said address is required).

Is there some other way to get these lights into homeassistant?

    brightness_state_address: "0/1/206"

Hi :wave:!

The schema doesn’t allow that.

As a workaround for such a light, you could try to configure a template entity with knx.send and knx.telegram as trigger.

Anyway, most Dali gateways have very extensive configuration options. I’d be surprised if you couldn’t add a binary on/off object.

Thanks for the response.
I think I should be able to add one, I will test in a few days when I have access to the computer with the knx dongle again.
