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 behavior can be inverted by setting the on_state configuration variable to low.
{% linkable_title Configuration %}
To enable a digital input pin as binary sensor in your installation, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
- platform: zigbee
name: Hallway PIR Sensor
pin: 0
{% configuration %}
name:
description: The name you would like to give the binary sensor in Home Assistant.
required: true
type: string
pin:
description: The number identifying which pin to use.
required: true
type: integer
address:
description: The long 64-bit 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.
required: false
type: string
on_state:
description: Either high or low, depicting whether the binary sensor is considered on when the pin is high or low.
required: false
default: high
type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
