I configure a KNX actuator output to act as a pulse (to open a door).
By doing this, the actuator has no state value.
How can I with Loxone change a value at each pulse.

State is OFF,  pulse, State is ON, pulse, State is OFF

hi,
normally you have to configure an address-group for the status feedback, can't you create this one ? 

i'm not sure if this want you want, but if you insert a Switch block between Actuator and the input of the door, it should do the job, take a look at the snapshot

each change on the TR input will change the state of the Q output. 
you just have to check 'USE' on the switch to see his state.

--> Not in this case
When using the switch pulse function of my MDT Actuator, the state address is removed.

-->I don't know the "USE" you are talking about (Use in  User Interface?)
In my case the virtual input (or knx sensor) switch from off to on and to off in 100msec
I think this fire twice the push switch workflow.
If I try to store the state it will always be off (only on from the duration of the pulse

I will try to reproduce the loxone diagram of the documentation:

The actual behavior:
Pulse :-----------1-0--------- (one pulse)
State : 0---------1-0---------

What I need:
Pulse :-----------1-0-----1-0---- (two pulses)
State : 0----------1-1----0-0--
