Esp-homekit-devices: Wired door/window sensor by GPIO

[kittmark]

Hello, I’ve seen some custom firmwares where the shorting of two GPIO pins using a legacy wired magnetic door sensor is used to simulate an homekit door/window sensor.

This could be useful both for retro-fitting old security systems and for some situations where you will not be able to change batteries to a wireless door sensor (like for anti-tampering of an outdoor box).

Could this type be added to RavenCore? Is the new “type 16” related to this?
Thanks

[RavenSystem]

This will be device type 16.

[GPL71]

@RavenSystem Josè then you develope RavenCore and HAA too?

[RavenSystem]

@GPL71 yes, but dev type 16 will be the last I will include in RC. And no new dev boards will be included. Then I will only support RC for bug fixes and stability.

[kittmark]

Awesome that type 16 will do that, perfect!

[lizzus]

typ6 16 will be avaible in Ravencore 0.9.0?

[RavenSystem]

@lizzus Sure.

Can you add:

define TEMP_HUMIDITY_SENSOR 8

NODEMCU esp8266 + dht22
Now it works great with device type 6(sonoff th) , but i have one switch that is unused.

[RavenSystem]

@mafyata No, only boolean sensors. And all of them are in the list.

[mafyata]

It’s a bad news for me. Maybe function to hide switch button :)

[RavenSystem]

@mafyata You will be able to do that with HAA.

[mafyata]

Good news.
It is hard to me to make the correct json options for my devices. I will wait for the software for json configuration.

[RavenSystem]

@mafyata Don't worry, a JSON for a single accessory with a temp/hum sensor will be very easy. You only must know GPIO and sensor type. Sure that I will write a sample for that here: https://github.com/RavenSystem/esp-homekit-devices/wiki/HAA-Templates

[mafyata]

Yes , I know them , but don’t know for my other devices - magic home rgb led , sonoff basic new layot and sonoff th 16.

[RavenSystem]

@mafyata But you can keep using RavenCore in those devices. HAA is not a replacement for RC, and least not in a near future. Maybe, when HAA will do all that RC does, and a JSON generator will be done too.

[RavenSystem]

RC will not get this finally. HAA will do it.

[jat80]

RC will not get this finally. HAA will do it.

Could someone show me how to do this with HAA? I would like to create a window sensor using a Sonoff SV and a reed switch.
