some sort of a binary sensor for Vera?

[JohnRob]

Hi,

I'm looking to add a water (leak) sensor to my MySensors/Vera system. Looking through the Vera Plugin options I see only analog (variable) plugins. While I know I could use any of them with some sort of value scheme I would prefer to use a binary if possible. Has anyone hacked or created a binary plugin option?

Thanks

John

@johnrob For my water sensor, I have a homemade leaf wetness sensor that I have reporting a moisture percentage. I can then use some logic to say that if the moisture level goes above a certain percentage, then trigger an alarm condition.

Hi @JohnRob, I usually present binary sensors as Motion sensors in Vera.

Thanks, somehow I was under the impression that the MySensors GitHub devices were all I had to choose from. Your answer make me realize I could use any (most) of the Vera Std sensors.
