FIBARO System FGBS001 Universal Binary Sensor - Basic questions

[nizaga]

Hello,

I am trying to use the FIBARO System FGBS001 Universal Binary Sensor to create a "Smart doorbell". When i include the FGBS001 in domoticz, two switches type on/off are created. I have a very old-fashioned doorbell. I guess the switch inside the button is normally open, so when the button is pushed, the contacts close.

What is the right combination to configure my doorbell (in terms o domoticz switch type, contact? doorbell? on/off switch?) and
Parameter No. 3 Available settings:
0 – INPUT_NO (Normal Open)
1 – INPUT_NC (Normal Close)
2 – INPUT_MONOSTABLE
3 – INPUT_BISTABLE

My initial approach was : domoticz device type doorbell, FGBS001 parameter to 0 (input_normal open), but it does not respond.

Many thanks,

nim

Hello Nizaga,

I am using INPUT NC (normally closed).

There is a wiring diagram on this website (in dutch but shows the connections)

Hi!

You use INPUT NC, and domoticz device type switch on/off with a delay off x seconds? there is another thread where i saw you can't use the doorbell type

Thanks,

I also have a NC setting for the Fibaro binary sensor. The switch in domoticz remains a on/off type, but there is no need for a off delay as the person at your door will press the bell switch -> contact opens, then releases the bell switch -> contact closes.
I have a script being executed from the on-action that sends me a message with a screenshot. This means the script is executed once the bell switch is released. If you want it sooner, just execute it from the off-action.

Hi, i am still lost:

If you select NC then the domoticz ON/OFF is always ON until someone press the bell and then it turns to off, and when the person releases the bell it turns back to on?

Thanks!

yes that is right
