Sending notifications to KNX MDT Glastaster Smart II

Configuration
1

Hi there,

I’d like to use Home Assistant to display notifications on our KNX-based MDT Glastaster Smart II (short: GT). The GT can display two DPT16.001 strings of length 14 (“Statustext 1”, “Statustext 2”) and can flash a LED on request. It can report back a button press via a DPT1 telegram. I am imagining some kind of notification stack that queues pending notifications that I can dismiss by pressing a button on the GT.

Is there anything that closely resembles what I want to achieve? If not, I am probably going to implement a custom notify component. What would be the best way to interact with the KNX integration? Events?

Thanks,
Thilo

P.S.: I do know the KNX notify platform, but that seems a bit too limited for what I’d like to achieve

Use the knx.send service if notify doesn’t suit your needs.

  1. In ETS you need to set a group address for your MDT Glastaster. I have set “State Text 1 Input” for example.
  2. Then you go into “Parameters” for your Glastaster, “Operation/Display”, “Information Screen” and set the element “State Text 1” somewhere on your screen.
  3. In Home Assistant you go to “Developer Tools”, “Services”
  • Service = “knx.send”
  • Group Adress = The one you set in ETS
  • Payload = Text you want to send (if you get an error your message was too long)
  • Value type = string
    Click on “Call Service” and you should see your message on the glastaster.

You can probably use value_type: latin_1 instead of “string” if you want to send special characters (Umlauts etc).
