I want to turn off all the lights of the house when I am leaving (but off course I don't want to turn on all the lights when I am coming home).

I use the central function of the KNX actuator to turn the lights off with only one knx message.

The problem is with my Loxone logic.

I am unable to prevent the send of the ON message when I came back.


I use the Loxone Away operating mode

I try to connect it to the push switch, switch, on/off switch without achieving my goal.

Thus when away change from OFF to ON I need to send OFF to the actuator (using a NOT block)
When away change from ON to OFF nothing has to be send

How can I do that?

sounds like you need to send the knx message 'off' to your actuator on the rising edge of the 'away' switch in loxone - this can be achieved by connecting your switch in loxone to a 'push switch' block and then the Qon output of the push switch to your knx actuator (you will need to create the knx actuator in loxone to send the off command only)

I try your solution.

When the virtual input turn on the knx actuator receive an "ON" value. (Qon turns on)
When the virtual input turn off the knx actuator receive an "OFF" value.(Qoff turns off)
--> Two values it's not good

I try to add an eib switch (witheib.png)
When the virtual input turn on the knx actuator receive an "ON" value. (Qon turns on)
When the virtual input turn off the knx actuator receive nothing.(Qon turns off)
When the virtual input turn on the knx actuator receive an "OFF" value. (Qon turns on)
When the virtual input turn off the knx actuator receive nothing.(Qon turns off)

Allways not good

Why not simply use the extended actuator, enter <groupaddress>:0 as the pulse command and send a pulse to this actuator whenever you need to have an OFF datagram on the KNX bus? Works similarly using :1 when you need the ON command.
