Noob Questions about certain Items of Fibaro Motion Sensor

Hi,

can someone explain to me the way the items work?

I don’t understand what the following Items are there for:

  • Binary Sensor
  • Motion Alarm
  • Alarm General
  • Seismic Intensity and Tamper Alarm

are they neccessary to measure Motion Detection and vibrations?

thanks guys!

I think you might have some nomenclature mixed up.

Items are defined and documented here: https://docs.openhab.org/configuration/items.html

What you appear to be describing are the Channels on the Motion Sensor. I don’t use these devices but I suspect that:

  • Binary Sensor not sure, check the manual
  • Motion Alarm will trigger when there is motion detected
  • Alarm General not sure, check the manual
  • Seismic Intensity and Tamper Alarm will trigger when the device itself is moved

These should all be described in the manual.
