Switches

Overview

Switches are simple representations of binary actors. They mainly support switching on and off.

Example

switch = Switch(xknx, 'TestOutlet', group_address='1/2/3')
xknx.devices.add(switch)

# Accessing switch
await xknx.devices['TestOutlet'].set_on()

Configuration via xknx.yaml

Switches are usually configured via xknx.yaml:

groups:
    switch:
        Livingroom.Outlet_1: {group_address: '1/3/1'}
        Livingroom.Outlet_2: {group_address: '1/3/2'} 

Interface

switch = Switch(xknx, 'TestOutlet', group_address='1/2/3')

# Switching switch on
await switch.set_on()

# Switching switch off
await switch.set_off()

# Accessing switch via 'do'
await switch.do('on')
await switch.do('off')

# Accessing state
print(switch.state)

# Requesting state via KNX GROUP WRITE
await switch.sync()
