Create (virtual) KNX Thing in OpenHAB with Group Addresses accessible on the KNX bus

I cannot say about other bindings, but this is how the KNX binding is supposed to work. The knx binding will answer a value read request from the bus with the actual state stored in OH when the item is a *-control item.

See the forum discussion that I started for this use case dating back to March 2019:
KNX control item doesn’t respond to read request from the bus
