KNX switch "central off"

Hello Everybody

I need some help. I use Home Assistant with the KNX integration. One group address (0/0/1) is for central off. I use that group address as switch in Home Assistant. That group address NEVER get’s the state TRUE. It’s always only sending FALSE on the KNX-Bus, to switch off the light. Now i want to use this switch, to turn off my Philips Smart TV. The problem is that HA never reacts to the switch since it is always FALSE.

Has someone an idea, how i can fix that problem?

Hi :wave:!
Use a button instead of a switch to trigger it from UI.

Control additional HA things with a knx_event on that GA. See the integration docs for how events are configured.(button press event is only fired if the button in HA was used, not when the payload was received from the bus)

Hi
I have a physical knx-switch on the main door. When I press that switch the group address 0/0/1 is send to the knx-bus and all lights turn off. The idea is, that also the Smart TV’s turn off. So i don’t want to do it, with the UI. I want to switch off the smart TV with the physical knx-switch on the main door.

Then you only need to trigger that with a knx_event.
