KNX Lock Object

Configuration Frontend

What is the best way to implement a lock object with KNX. The lock object must be writable. Furthermore, the correct lock symbol should be displayed. Is it better to choose a KNX.Switch or a KNX.Button for this?

Thx!

What shall a lock object do? Difference between a switch and a button is

  • switch is stateful and has 2 services - turn_on and turn_off
  • button is stateless and has only one service - it always sends the same payload when pushed

Maybe what you are looking for is a Template Lock - Home Assistant

The goal is to send “on” or “off” to the KNX Bus. In this case I must select the Switch, right?

Yes. Or alternatively a select. Or a template lock with knx.send.
What is your lock locking?

First I have changed from “Lock” to “Switch”. My solution was the customize.yaml section!

  switch.ug_garage_sperren:
    templates:
      icon: >
        if (state == 'on') return 'mdi:lock';
        if (state == 'off') return 'mdi:lock-open';
