how to change the status of a sensor ?

Post by jmleglise »

Hi,

I have a magnetic door sensor PT2262 (RFXCOM - lighting 4) that only send On.

I would like to change its status with a LUA script. How to do that in LUA ? (I don't want to use the Off delay option of the interface.)

I have tried : commandArray['MailBox']='Off' and 'Closed' without success.



My use case is : My Mailbox switches On when receiving mails and returns Off at midnight.
My script : https://github.com/jmleglise

I use this door sensor to detect the delivery of regular mail. And I want it to stay on, all the day until I reset it at the end of the day.
