component	ZigBee Binary Sensor	Instructions on how to set up ZigBee binary sensors within Home Assistant.	2016-01-28 12:38	true	false	true	true	zigbee.png	Binary Sensor

A ZigBee binary sensor in this context is a device connected to one of the digital input pins on a ZigBee module. The states reported by such a device are limited to 'on' or 'off'. By default, a binary sensor is considered 'on' when the ZigBee device's digital input pin is held 'high' and considered 'off' when it is held 'low'. This behaviour can be inverted by setting the on_state configuration variable to low.

To configure a digital input as a binary sensor, use the following variables:

• name (Required): The name you'd like to give the binary sensor in Home Assistant.
• platform (Required): Set to zigbee.
• pin (Required): The number identifying which pin to use.
• address: The long 64bit address of the remote ZigBee device whose digital input pin you'd like to sample. Do not include this variable if you want to sample the local ZigBee device's pins.
• on_state: Either high (default) or low, depicting whether the binary sensor is considered 'on' when the pin is 'high' or 'low'.

Example

binary_sensor:
  - name: Hallway PIR Sensor
    platform: zigbee
    pin: 0
    address: 0013A20040892FA2
    on_state: low
