Hue Contact Sensor

Add-ons Bindings

I just configured the new hue contact sensor in oh4. It was correctly detected but now I don’t know how to listen for changes or see if it is open closed? It only reports three channels:

  • battery-level
  • battery-low
  • last-updated

Thing properties are this:

  • resourceArchetype Unknown archetype
  • productCertified true
  • productArchetype Unknown archetype
  • firmwareVersion 2.67.1
  • vendor Signify Netherlands B.V.
  • modelId SOC001
  • hardwareVersion 100b-125
  • productName Hue secure contact sensor
  • resourceType Device

How can I get the status (open/closed) in oh4 and/or listen for changes? Is this possible?

The support for the new security devices was introduced into OH just 3 days ago here so it is currently only available in OH SNAPSHOT builds.

did you get the contact sensor to work ? O currently have the hue apiV2 on 4.0.2 but cannot get the contact sensor to work. The motion sensor works perfectly but not the contact one. Any help?

Security contacts were added in OH v4.1

Thank you for your fast response. I just finished the update to 4.2.1 and it works. Have a great day Andrew!
