Trigger scenes from HA automations

Configuration
1

Hi,
I have just started creating some scenes in the KNX world. Know it would make sense if I could somehow make them accessible to HA as well and especially include them in automations. I have followed the instructions here KNX - Home Assistant and added the sceens. However, they don’t show up as their own entity or something else I would know to use. Can someone explain me as to how I could trigger this KNX scenes from within HA?

Thanks!

There’s this in the documentation: KNX - Home Assistant

Not sure if it helps I don’t use KNX. It does not explain how to use that entity once created so I’m assuming the same way as home assistant scenes with the scene.turn_on service.

When I select “Activate a scene” as Actions in a new automation then only the HA native scenes are shown / selectable. Also when I select Service and then scene.turn_on the KNX scenes registered as in the docu don’t show up as an option either.

So you have added some yaml like this to your configuration.yaml file and restarted:

knx:
  scene:
    - name: "Romantic"
      address: 8/8/8
      scene_number: 23

But it is not creating scene entities?

Can you show your config?

Are there any related errors in Settings-> Logs?

oh well - I only used the quick reload function… doing an actual restart created all the entities I need. Sorry for wasting your time.
