Set MDT Glass Switch Text via KNX

Configuration
1

Hello folks,

I am new to running HASS inside a docker container and own several KNX devices, most of them by MDT.

Their glass switches allow to display two short lines of text that are received via the KNX bus. I would like to make HASS send custom lines e.g. after certain events or so. But I did not find a method to configure it like I can do with other values inside the YAML files.

Anyone who achieved something like this before?

Cheers,
SB

Try a knx notify entity https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/knx/#notify

has anyone ever got this to work?

I managed to pull in a text KNX GA, but not notify.

pack_power:
  knx:
    binary_sensor:
      - name: "G310 Eskom Mains L1"
        state_address: "0/6/0"
      - name: "G310 Eskom Mains L2"
        state_address: "0/6/1"
      - name: "G310 Eskom Mains L3"
        state_address: "0/6/2"

    text:
      - name: "G310 Eskom Status Text"
        address: "0/6/3"

however, templating does not seem to work on notify.g310_eskom_status_text or text.g310_eskom_status_text?

Thanks
Martin

use knx.send in an automation or script. It supports templating too.
