Consolidating a KNX Smart Home Under Home Assistant

When we moved into our new house five years ago, the electrical installation came with a full KNX bus: lights, blinds, heating actuators, the garage door, a weather station, all wired up and configured through ETS by the electrician. On top of that we had a handful of separate smart-home ecosystems that had nothing to do with KNX: a Reolink camera setup, a Zehnder ComfoAirQ ventilation system, a Kostal Plenticore inverter for the PV system, some Woox smart plugs, and a couple of Wi-Fi devices sitting in the Smart Life / Tuya app. KNX itself was visualized through the manufacturer’s native app, AmbiHome.
