MQTT binary sensor: 'Unknown' value

mny · July 12, 2020, 8:11pm

Hello everyone,

why is it that my Fibaro Door/Window Sensor won’t report any values?

This is my MQTT payload when opening/closing the door:

{
  "value_id" : "8-113-1-6",
  "node_id" : 8,
  "class_id" : 113,
  "type" : "list",
  "genre" : "user",
  "instance" : 1,
  "index" : 6,
  "label" : "Unknown",
  "units" : "",
  "help" : "",
  "read_only" : true,
  "write_only" : false,
  "min" : 0,
  "max" : 0,
  "is_polled" : false,
  "values" : [ "Unknown", "Unknown", "Unknown" ],
  "value" : "Unknown",
  "lastUpdate" : 1594582696121
}

Opening or closing will trigger an MQTT message but the result will be ‘Unknown’.

Who may help?

Many thanks
mny

Hi Mny,

I am experiencing the same problems with my Fibaro door/windows sensor.

I am using Zwave2mqtt and the “contact” (**-113-1-6) value is also unknown.

Have you managed to fix the issue?

Thanks!
Romke
