create door contact via api

[wolfstein013]

Hello,

I am using domoticz stable, version 2024 -1 on a raspberry pi. ( in a docker container) and can't figure out how to add a door sensor to my environment:
When i am using sensortype=248 api call goes ok,
curl "http://192.168.XX.XX:8080/json.htm?type ... =248&devic
esubtype="73"&switch=11"
{
"idx" : "79",
"status" : "OK",
"title" : "CreateVirtualSensor"

when i am using sensortype=244 ( correct switch type according https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Developin ... vice_Types)
curl "http://192.168.XX.XX:8080/json.htm?type ... =244&devic
esubtype="73"&switch=11"
{
"status" : "ERR"
}

Why does this not work?
thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
