KNX Object Status update not working properly

Configuration
1

Hello,

I am struggling with the status updates of my KNX objects in Home Assistant.
When I switch my lights via a HASS scene or a KNX physical switch, the status on the identity card in lovelace is not always updated.
When I restart HASS everything goes well but after a few hours it goes wrong again.
Does anybody else have this problem or can somebody help me solve this ?

Thanks,

Kind Regards,
Jurgen N.

Do you know how many versions do we need to regress to get rid of this problem?

Then I’ll wait patiently. Thank you for the info.

How can I see if a solution is found and when I can update to the latest version ?

You can update to HA 2020.12 since Sunday.

And the problem with the status of KNX entities is solved ?

Afaik yes. Just give it a try.

Just did a small test and it seems to work fine.

Hello, I have KNX Buttons (binary sensors) were I use the counter attribute in HA to detect a doublepress. This was working in 0.117 but in 2020.12.1 it is not working anymore. Has anybody a doublepress KNX binary sensor working in HA with the 2020.12 release.

Please post the configurations of this binary_sensor and the corresponding automation.

Now I have it working again. The first issue was that I created the automation with the editor and there the values for above and below get saved as string and I had to remove the quotation marks so they get interpreted as number.

- id: '1608389149349'
  alias: Test KNX TAster 8_4 Flur
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.flur_8_4
    attribute: counter
    above: 2
    below: 4
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: light.turn_on
    data: {}
    entity_id: light.garderobe_lampe
  mode: single

After removing the quoutes it worked again but it seems that the timing changed and therefore I added two parameters to the binary_sensor. “ignore_internal_state: true” and “context_timeout: 0.3”

- name: flur_8_4
  state_address: '2/4/2'
  ignore_internal_state: true
  context_timeout: 0.3

I thought to execute reload KNX would be sufficient to get the changes applied but that was not the case. I had to restart HA and then the changes were applied.

I have similar problem with “lights” objects. I have a lot of “lights” object with all “state_address” separately defined. In case i use e.g. “central power off” telegram from a physical KNX button to switch off all my lights (this telegram address is not the primary address of any of the light objects) the HASS status is not changing. I know that my KNX devices are not sending actively their status, but could be read explicitly by e.g. HASS.
Question: could i get somehow the feature like “sync_state” attribute works for “sensors” or “binary_sensors” where i can define the active update frequency of an entity?

You can use homeassistant.update_entity service to read all state addresses of a Single entity.
