The knx sensor platform allows you to monitor KNX sensors.

The knx component must be configured correctly, see KNX Component.

{% linkable_title Configuration %}

To use your KNX sensor in your installation, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: knx
    name: Heating.Valve1
    address: '2/0/0'

{% configuration %} address: description: KNX group address of the sensor. required: true type: string name: description: A name for this device used within Home Assistant. required: false type: string type: description: A type from the following table can be defined. The DPT of the group address should match the expected KNX DPT to be parsed correctly. required: false type: string {% endconfiguration %}
