Any way to discover Sensor units (button without activator) #59

Hello! In my case, simple Sensors are not recognized by your component. I have a plan to use automation based on Sensor key pressed (or not pressed). Please help to discover them in HA. Thank you!

Hello, which devices are we talking about?

victorclaessen commented 3 years ago

I assume @SuperMaximus1984 means sensor-only devices like 6221/1.0.

Why this difficult solution while you could build a template switch in HA which triggers wat ever you want in HA and then start the scripting? Way more robust then your idea.

The switch can be exposed via emulated hue.

Hi @jheling,

I'm trying to implement "Sensoreinheit 1-fach" (e.g. #ABB700DD6876) and "Sensoreinheit 2-fach" (e.g. #ABB700DC8CAA) into HA. The problem: they will be shown in HA as a binary sensor and not as a light. Any chance to change this?

Many thanks! Br Jens

That's correct. These units are only sensors and do not have the circuitry (relay etc.) to control a light on their own. That's why they show up as a binary sensor only.

A Sensor/Schaltaktor 1/1-fach on the other hand would show up as a binary sensor and a light.
