I hope someone can help with this. What should be a very simple RESTful binary sensor is driving me a little crazy. I’m trying to monitor the state of an input on a door intercom. The JSON response is as follows:
{
"success" : true,
"result" : {
"ports" : [
{
"port" : "input1",
"state" : 0
}
]
}
}
And my binary sensor yaml is this:
binary_sensor:
- platform: rest
name: Input 1
username: admin
password: SECRET PASSWORD
verify_ssl: false
resource: https://192.0.0.225/api/io/status?port=input1
value_template: "{{ value_json['result']['ports'][0]['state'] }}"
method: GET
The result is that the sensor constantly gives a value of ‘Off’ regardless of whether the JSON state value is 1 or 0. I must be missing something really simply, but I just can’t see it. Any help greatly appreciated.
