Hi everyone, our house has a magnet contacts (one ga) on each window and several motion detectors. Is ist possible to add them somehow via the knx integration? I cannot find the correct device for it. How did you solve it? Thanks ---

Hi Mareike, the only thing you can do is to contact the App developer and ask for adding these devices to the App. ---

I have the same need and request. Almost every KNX Home has magnetic window/doorcontacts (connected to KNX readcontacts with open or closed status) and motion sensors installed. This type of KNX contacts/devices are missing in the Homey app. Or do I miss something? ---

Yes, it is missing. I wrote the homey team, but they don’t seem to make it a priority. I am really thinking about returning the homey due to this missing feature. ---

Could you copy/paste the answer of the Development Team? I’ve contacted them today with the request to add this type of devices (door/window contacts and motion sensors) as well. My previous experiences with Athom Support was OK. Now it seems they are very busy with requests/issues on the new Homey Pro 2023, so the lead time is now 3 weeks. Give it a while, because I believe these types of contacts/devices should be standard integrated and are not much work for Athom to integrate in the Homey KNX app because of the fixed KNX adresses. ---

Hi Mareike, I hope to receive an answer soon from Athom/Homey support. They could easily add the extra support of door/window sensors and motion sensors in their KNX app, because they are binaire sensors with only a status address (0 or 1 / open or closed / motion or no motion). This would help many KNX owners which also loves Homey. Olivier ---

Yes, I agree. This would round up the knx integration and could be done with minimal development effort. ---

Mareike, it took a while until Athom support reacted. Once somebody has opened my 1st support ticket and replied, I’ve asked to look into the new/extra KNX support ticket by the same support guy. He has created a new ticket for the development team now, and hopefully they will react soon and upgrade the KNX app. They could not give me any leadtime and/or priority for this simple to fix issue/request and even the support guy could not update the priority of my/our request (and of many other KNX users) to a priority high. I personally give Athom development/support another 2 weeks to respond. If they do not respond or upgrade the KNX app accordingly, I support your opinion and return all my Homey’s and change to Home Assistant. Support & development and especially a prof. after service, to let your customers know that they count, is crucial for every company. Athom did this in the past, but currently it seems to have many difficulties. I still wait and see and hope to receive a solution within 2 weeks. Olivier ---

I just installed my new homey pro and the knx app. KNX integration is a must for me. Unfortunately I also noticed, no motion or presence sensor devices are currently supported. If it’s not coming soon I’ll return it before the 30day return policy passes
