Three-state sensor

[Łukasz997 117]

I have a garage door and state of the door is monitored by two door-sensors. I would like to map the readings to one virtual sensor. However basic door sensor is not enough, because door has three states: closed, open and ajared (not closed, not opened). What kind of device would be the best template to reflect this three-state door?

I guess you could use the base shutter?
I use it for my sectional garage door QA

Thank you. That fits my need!

And - if I want the getValue to be updated automatically, then I have to react to events from sensors (oe. by using TriggerQA)? Eventlib - as I understand it - is not necessary in such basic event collection?

Thanks in advance for an advice...

 

UPDATE:

OK, thank you, I have resolved it myself.

I would have used the eventlib  easy to use  

to update the state of the shutter i think it was like this:

self:updateProperty("state", "Closed")

self:updateProperty("state", "Opened")

self:updateProperty("state", "Unknown")
