Backchannel from homebridge-knx to knx #101

Closed Luehrsen closed 7 years ago

Thank you for providing homebridge-knx!

One thing I could not grasp completely is if you can create a backchannel. What I mean is: Can I assign group addresses to my HomeKit accessories, that can then be addressed by ETS and KNX?

Explained that for myself.

Easy answer for Google: Yes and no. You can program knx devices so listen and write from and to the homekit realm. But these devices only ever represent their own state. I have to use scenes in the home app to make the final connection from a knx device to another homkit device, if I want them to talk to each other.
