Sensor support: Status update within openhab #32

Open ruebox opened 6 years ago

ruebox commented 6 years ago

The freeathome binding currently supports actors that can be controlled via SysAP WebUI. Is it possible to support sensors that are commonly connected to actors.

Expected features: The status of a sensor is updated within openhab.

Knowledge right now: The status of the sensor is not transported via XMPP to SysAP. Thus, it is invisible to openhab.

The following issues are related:

Hint: Just saw that are so called "Benachrichtigungsaktors" e.g. for Windalarm. These Benachrichtigungsaktors are not yet supported, but if so, they might be a workaround to support status of sensor switches.

@Benachrichtigungsaktors those also work with an email, as far as I know, so one way could be to send it to a null email and just catch it being sent. This would not work for things like temperatures etc, or would at least be very labour intensive.
