This component implement the pilight hub 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 happend (for example lots of cheap PIR motion detector) (see example configuration below).

# Example configuration.yml entry
binary_sensor:
  - platform: pilight
    name: 'Motion'
    variable: 'state'
    payload:
      unitcode: 371399
    payload_on: 'closed'
    disarm_after_trigger: True  <-- use this if you want trigger type behavior

Configuration variables:

• variable (Required): The variable name in the data stream that defines the sensor value.
• payload (Required): Message payload identifiers. Only if all identifiers are matched the sensor value is set.
• name (Optional): Name of the sensor.
• payload_on (Optional): Variable on value. The component will recognize this as logical '1'.
• payload_off (Optional): Variable off value. The component will recognize this as logical '0'.
• disarm_after_trigger: (Optional): Configure sensor as trigger type.
