Looking for a slider-like alternative for a KNX Switch with more than 2 (on/off) options?

Hi!

I’m a happy user of Home Assistant to visualize all smart devices in my house including my KNX system. Everything is quite straightforward (lights, covers, switches…) except for one thing.

Some KNX devices in my system have objects that can be set using a byte like the ones below:

Ventilation profile:

  • 0: auto
  • 1: cool
  • 2: warm

Ventilation level:

  • 0: away mode
  • 1: preset 1
  • 2: preset 2
  • 3: preset 3

At the moment there seems to be no easy way to add this actor to HA.
I already read about automating using the KNX send service, which I haven’t tried yet since I’m quite new to that. I’m also afraid that it will not have the same functionality as a simple KNX switch which is also updated based on activity in the KNX system. The same would ideally be possible but for a byte (DPT5) with for instance a slider that moves from 0 to 2 or 0 to 3 or more.

Thanks for your input!
