hi,
I’m new here and with ha.
I wanted to discover ha. I installed it with the preconfigured vmdk.
The backbone of my setup is knx, but i have other protocols.
I don’t really understand how ha works and what lies behind entity or device.
At the start ha discovered my sonos play one and my phoscon gateway.
I have only 4 or 5 zigbee devices but i see that a device or entity came up : " configuration tool"
what is it ?

Then i wanted to add my first knx device. I read the docs but struggled with conf files.
Finally, for easing things i put all the conf in the configuration.yaml and i was able to see my first light.
The problem is it isn’t editable in ha as it doesn’t have a unique id.
I have certainly misconfigured something but i can’t see what.
Here is my config:


# Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)
default_config:

# Uncomment this if you are using SSL/TLS, running in Docker container, etc.
# http:
#   base_url: example.duckdns.org:8123

# Text to speech
tts:
  - platform: google_translate

group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml

knx:
  tunneling:
    host: '192.168.0.21'
    port: 3671
    local_ip: '192.168.0.104'

light:
  # See "sensor" remarks above for an explanation of the resulting entity_ids
  platform: knx
    # switched light
