KNX Home Assistant - Step By Step Tutorial

[@Utking3]

Amazing video, simple, well explained, straight to the point. Thanks for making KZbin a better place for these types of videos :) Also thank you for not putting video ads inbetween! :)

[@acronce]

Thanks so much for the video! I’m planning to migrate our custom automation system to KNX, then use Home Assistant as the server. This video is a great introduction to the process. And perfect timing for me.

[@PoseidwnTech]

We are glad that it could help!

[@gbemigameduoye3400]

Thankyou so much for this. I was ab le to setup home assist within a few hours with my KNX system thanks to you. Excellent tutorial .. easy to follow .. Subscribed !!!

Μπράβο, πολύ ωραιο tutorial....

[@m.mavrogiannos6755]

Indeed excellent tutorial to the point! Good job. Which KNX IP gateway would you recommend besides the WEINZIERL that is compatible with Home Assistant and also other automation hubs like Homey ?

[@zakariaezdi2382]

good evening, congratulations for the explanation and for the time dedicated, I watched and re-watched the video to try to connect my KNX equipment with home assistant as you specified .... but I still can't complete the job ... has by chance an email to be able to forward my problem and the various messages on the log. Thanks in advance

[@kennethgevaert9041]

Hi, thanks for this great video. I'm following these steps to go to the next level with my home automation project. The core of my house is KNX. 2 questions I had: 1) I didn't get why there are different group addresses for the switches... Are these power plugs? 2) Where do I find the IP address of my KNX IP interface? thanks for the help!

[@PoseidwnTech]

1) These are the Group Addresses from ETS. From more details check this video : kzbin.info/www/bejne/jamnaYeJmKp0hpY 2) From ETS5 you will be able to find the IP address of the KNX IP interface. Otherwise you could use an IP Network scanner like Advanced IP Scanner.

[@catalinpascal]

Hi, if you use Phillips hue, do you still need a switch aktuator for lights in order to set the individual adresses? Thx

[@PoseidwnTech]

The group addresses are required in order to integrate KNX in Home Assistant. Philips Hue are auto discovered in Home Assistant so there is no need to edit the yaml file.

[@catalinpascal]

@@PoseidwnTech thx

[@dsmviper]

Congrats, excelent. I´d just like to know, if i wanted to connect to apple home kit how would i do ? I only install home kit in home assistant ?

[@PoseidwnTech]

Go to Settings --> Devices and Services and configure HomeKit! Maybe we have to make a video about it!

[@teroronkanen603]

Looks cool, ty. I'm planning to integrate my KNX modules to Home Assistant soon. One question though. I'd like to use a laptop instead of RPi. Is it possible to integrate KNX to Home Assistant Container or do I need to have Home Assistant Supervised?

[@PragashMurugasu]

Great Tutorial, but somehow, my home assistant cannot recognize. I am using the thinknx . Do you have any idea why Thanks for your help

[@ИмияФамилья]

Hello. Is Raspberry+KNX Home Assistant = alternative of Control4 ?

[@maxmaurin277]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you very much!

[@PoseidwnTech]

You're welcome! Thank you for your comment!

[@bartdetre8851]

I loved your video and found it very useful connecting my KNX to Home Assistant, but do you have an example of how to connect/configure a KNX RGBW (MDT) controller?

[@PoseidwnTech]

Thank you for your comment! Unfortunately i haven't tried it yet. I will try to make a video about it.

[@bartdetre8851]

@@PoseidwnTech Thanks, I'm looking forward to it as I have two RGBW controllers to integrate in HA.

[@arnoutdevos3601]

Great video! I've tried to run HA on different RPi's and with different SD cards but it always runs slow and crashes often. Ordered another new SD card and a new power supply. I hope it works this time so I can finally get my KNX devices in HA! Your tutorial will help!

[@armando08011971]

The same hapened to me, then i change to an usb of 32 gb and all problems go away

[@arnoutdevos3601]

@@armando08011971 Thanks for the tip! I'll try that next!

[@PoseidwnTech]

We didn't face any problem so far. We have tried HA in several Raspberries Pi 3B and we are using SD Cards from Sandisk.

[@oskarma1801]

Is it possible to ad Philips Hue lights in the config to be able to control? I ha e a older Master Link Gateway from Bang&olufsen. It has not support for Philips Hue natively but it has support for KNX. And I have Home Assistant running as well.

[@PoseidwnTech]

Home Assistant can auto discover Philips Hue so it is very easy to add them in Home Assistant.

[@acmedia63]

Thank you so much, good tutorial. When installing a KNX system, can a system be installed with Home Assistant or OpenHAB without ESP software? Can you make a video about the KNX system with OpenHAB? Thanks.

[@PoseidwnTech]

KNX devices require ETS Software for programming and configuration. Open Hub video is in our plans, so stay tuned!

[@acmedia63]

@@PoseidwnTech Can we programming or using KNX devices with openhab or Home Assistant, without ETS software?

[@bavosaldien4497]

I have two knx interfaces. one for my home and one for my workplace each with a different ip address. Can I combine there into one homeassitant setup?

[@PoseidwnTech]

I don't have an answer for that. I will have to try it first.

[@63jeah]

hi, great video but i still don't understand were and why you used the raspberry???

[@PoseidwnTech]

I used the raspberry to install Home Assistant. The raspberry will act as a server for the KNX installation.

[@richardjanssen4659]

Hi there, brilliant video, thanks ! Just ordered Weinzierl 773 and a new SD card to take up KNX integration. Would Visual Code Studio have any benefits as an (config file) editor over File Manager?

[@PoseidwnTech]

Thank you for your comment! Visual Studio Code is awesome but unfortunatelly Raspberry Pi cannot run this add-on.

[@richardjanssen4659]

Thanks! But I could run it on windows pc and then samba to the config files?

Λατρευω τα βιντεο απο οταν μου βγηκε ενα office network setup και θελω απο τοτε να ρωτησω σχετικα με την αλλαγη router γιατι θελω να κανω host στον παλιο μου υπολογιστη αλλα με προβληματιζει η αξιοπιστια του router απο τον isp οταν βρισκονται ολοι στο σπιτι . Επισης το router χειριζεται και το τηλεφωνο υπαρχει κατι που πρεπει να προσεξω ή καποιο recommendation ;

[@PoseidwnTech]

Εμείς αυτό που κάνουμε συνήθως είναι να αφήνουμε το modem του ISP για το Internet και την Τηλεφωνία αλλά και για να είναι εύκολη η βλαβοληψία, (δηλαδή σε περίπτωση βλάβης βγαίνει άκρη μόνο όταν υπάρχει το modem του ISP!!!) και μετά χρησιμοποιούμε ένα Router που όπως έχεις δει από τα video μας είναι συνήθως UniFi χρησιμοποιώντας PPPoE pass through για να αποφύγουμε το double nat (διπλά port forward κτλ).

[@nagyCurtainsmotor]

Can we use USB Interface instead of IP Interfac?

[@PoseidwnTech]

I haven't tried yet, but it seems more complicated.

[@lovelyboy990]

Thanks for the useful video, could you please share with us the rest API's of knx ip router if we would like to access it from our own mobile app (to integrate our mobile app with knx system), thanks in advance

can we attach this home assistant over ALEXA or GOOGLE Assistant (voice control)

Ti raspberry πρεπει να το βαλω μαζι με το IP Router μεσα στον πινακα; Δεν εχω μεγαλο πινακα αλλα εχω 1-2 σημεια που εχω εξοδο ΚΝΧ καλωδιο. Μηπως μπορουσα να το βαλω εκει;

[@gbmwp]

Και δεν εχω καταλαβει πως συνδεεις το rasberry me to IP Router

[@PoseidwnTech]

Το Raspberry δεν χρειάζεται να είναι μέσα στον πίνακα το συνδέεις απλά στο τοπικό σου δίκτυο με ένα καλώδιο UTP. π.χ. σε ένα Switch ή απ'ευθείας στο Router σου. Οπότε το Raspberry και το KNX IP Interface/Router συνδέονται μεταξύ τους μέσω δικτύου.
