The `knx` cover platform is used as in interface with KNX covers.
The `knx` component must be configured correctly, see [KNX Component](/components/knx).
To use your KNX covers in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
cover:
- platform: knx
name: "Kitchen.Shutter"
move_long_address: '3/0/0'
move_short_address: '3/0/1'
position_address: '3/0/3'
position_state_address: '3/0/2'
travelling_time_down: 51
travelling_time_up: 61
```
- **name** (*Optional*): A name for this device used within Home Assistant.
- **move_long_address**: KNX group address for moving the cover full up or down.
- **move_short_address**: (*Optional*) KNX group address for moving the cover short time up or down.
- **position_address**: (*Optional*) KNX group address for moving the cover to the dedicated position.
- **position_state_address**: (*Optional*) Separate KNX group address for requesting the current position of the cover.
- **angle_address**: (*Optional*) KNX group address for moving the cover to the dedicated angle.
- **angle_state_address**: (*Optional*) Separate KNX group address for requesting the current angle of cover.
- **travelling_time_down**: (*Optional*) Time cover needs to travel down in seconds. Needed to calculate the intermediate positions of cover while traveling. Defaults to 25.
- **travelling_time_up**: (*Optional*) Time cover needs to travel up in seconds. Needed to calculate the intermediate positions of cover while traveling. Defaults to 25.
- **invert_position**: (*Optional*) Set this to true if your actuator report fully closed as 100%
- **invert_angle**: (*Optional*) Set this to true if your actuator reports tilt fully closed as 100%
