The `pilight` binary sensor platform implement the
[pilight hub](/components/pilight/) binary sensor functionality.
Two type of Pilight binary sensor configuration available. A normal sensor which
send the on and off state cyclical and a trigger sensor which send only a
trigger when an event happened (for example lots of cheap PIR motion detector).
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
To enable a Pilight binary sensor in your installation,
add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
- platform: pilight
variable: 'state'
```
{% configuration %}
variable:
description: The variable name in the data stream that defines the sensor value.
required: true
type: string
payload:
description: >
Message payload identifiers.
Only if all identifiers are matched the sensor value is set.
required: true
type: string
name:
description: Name of the sensor.
required: false
type: string
payload_on:
description: "Variable `on` value. The component will recognize this as logical '1'."
required: false
type: [string, float, integer]
payload_off:
description: "Variable `off` value. The component will recognize this as logical '0'."
required: false
type: [string, float, integer]
disarm_after_trigger:
description: Configure sensor as trigger type.
required: false
type: boolean
reset_delay_sec:
description: >
Seconds before the sensor is disarmed if
`disarm_after_trigger` is set to true.
required: false
type: integer
default: 30
{% endconfiguration %}
## {% linkable_title Full example %}
A full configuration example could look like this:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
- platform: pilight
name: 'Motion'
variable: 'state'
payload:
unitcode: 371399
payload_on: 'closed'
disarm_after_trigger: true
reset_delay_sec: 30
```
