knx-frontend

What it is and what it does

knx-frontend is a web UI component for Home Assistant that presents a dedicated control panel for KNX systems. It is designed to run within Home Assistant's frontend architecture and provides interface elements for managing KNX devices and integrations. The package ships as a pre-built wheel with no runtime dependencies, making it a lightweight addition to a Home Assistant installation.

The panel is intended to be symlinked or installed into Home Assistant's Python environment, after which it becomes accessible via the Home Assistant web interface at a dedicated KNX endpoint. Development of the package involves building frontend assets using Node.js tooling (nvm, yarn, scripts), but the distributed package is a compiled artifact ready for deployment.

Use it for:

• Manage and monitor KNX devices from the Home Assistant web dashboard without command-line interaction
• Configure KNX integration settings and device bindings through a graphical interface
• Test KNX panel functionality during Home Assistant development or custom setup workflows
