how to add binary sensor via MQTT?

[suto.norbert]

Hello there,

 

Is it possible to add a binary sensor via MQTT? For example a moisture sensor that is two state On/Off.
<div id=”gtx-trans” style=”position: absolute; left: 402px; top: 117px;”>
<div class=”gtx-trans-icon”></div>
</div>

No, sorry. OpenSprinkler only accepts numbers.

You need a number like 0/1, but not On/Off

Thanks for that, I was able to convert the boolean to 0/1. with HA or Node-RED and use it in monitor and control menu!

 

Thanks a lot! (and also the firmware! It is really good!)

In the future it possible to add a function to use MQTT to feed two digital inputs?  (SN1 and SN2)

[Admin]

You mean mapping a MQTT sensor to the internal SN1/SN2? Good idea!

Yes, I think this thing. Rain/Flow/Soil/Program Switch. It map it a MQTT specific topic On/Off or true/false state

[Admin]

Ok, the next firmware version 174 can control the internal rain/soil sensor sn1/sn2. But not “Flow” or “Program Switch”.
