propertyName list for the binary sensor

[Ros 22]

Hi guys,

My binary sensor is connected to dry contacts on IN1. I am need to read its state (open or closed). Can I use fibaro:get(deviceID, propertyName) ? If so, where can I lookup the list of property names for this type of sensor? Which promertyName should I use?

 

Thanks a lot!

Hi @Ros,

 

and welcome to the forum.

 

Please, look into REST API active documentation. You find that when you type into URL HC_IP/docs, e.g. 192.168.81.1/docs.

 

Then you can get to Devices -> /devices/{Device ID} and you just need ID of your binary sensor.

Hi Ros and welcome to Fibaro forum!

 

UBS or other binary sensors will add device for each input to the gateway. Depending on which input you want to read status you need to see corresponding device ID and use this code:

Please login or register to see this code.

If you are writing scene in LUA, then you will also have list of all available devices on the left column and if you select one it will show you all possible functions. Same is also if you right click inside editor in web GUI.

Thanks guys!

So if I do  fibaro:getValue(deviceID, "value") and the returned value is '1', this means the IN1 contact is

- 'open'

- 'closed'

- whichever is specified as ''Normal' in Parameter 3

What would '1' mean? And '0' would mean the opposite?

0 means that UBS is not breached.

1 means that UBS is breached.

Thanks Jakub!
I hope this is the last stupid question from my side... What is the meaning of "breach"? Is it change of state of the sensor? Or a change specific position?

@Ros, i will try to describe it on example.

 

When motion sensor detects movement, that mean it was breached. Or if door was opened and Door sensor detects that, then it is also breached.
