Manually created entities not shown in KNX-Frontend #140

I have several manually created KNX entitiy in the configuration.yaml is it possible to display them in the knx-frontend under Entities (maybe as separate group "manually created" or is there a simple way to migrate them?

Hi 👋! Currently there is no migration from yaml. You can already see all entities in the integration panel.

I don't think there is a need to show them in the knx panel too, as you can't edit their configuration there anyway.

No it just would be a reminder for me, remove them from configuration.yaml and recreate them via UI. Cool would be button migrate => remove entiity from configuration.yaml and automatically create it "from UI".

There is no way to edit configuration.yaml programatically. A migration would indeed be nice, but it would be better to support all yaml-supported entity types first so the whole config can be removed then. Until then, there is no real downside in having the configuration in yaml.

+1 on a migration feature that could - at least in it's early stages - read from the configuration.yaml (or pick them as already existing KNX entities) only the supported entities and re-create them via the Entities panel, in order to convert them into an editable form, providing that the user should be responsible to remove them manually from the configuration.yaml. Personally (and I presume most KNX owners) I use the types light, switch, cover, binary sensor, and sensor (temp, brightness, CO2, humidity). Another nice addition, could be the support for KNX exposed entities through the panel. Thank you for actively supporting KNX owners!

+1 on consistency, i.e. it would be great to actually see the same entities in both views. But thanks for all the great work @farmio, this is truly amazing!
