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 enable the ZigBee binary sensors 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
    address: 0013A20040892FA2
    on_state: low

Configuration 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'.
