Sensor Input channels are used with sensors with the three pin structure - GND, 5v, SIG that can either deliver a digital or analog reading.

The status of the input can be used as part of your WHEN: States match… and **WHEN: When Value Changes…** conditions in Behaviours in order to trigger actions.

Adding

1. In Channels click Add channel and select Sensor Input.
2. Enter a name that you would like to call it and the quantity you would like to add.
3. You will be presented with the channel view.

Current value

• Shows the current state of the channel (e.g if set to normally open, the box will appear GREY when the sensor is idle, until the sensor is activated, when it will turn GREEN).
• This value will show the current status of the virtual channel (when testing) or physical channel when patched to hardware.

Settings

• Thresholds
  • When a sensor is connected, it's current signal will be represented on the graph.
  • You are able to set the lower (RED) and upper (GREEN) thresholds of your sensor.
  • The current state tick box will only change when the sensor line goes above the upper threshold or falls below the lower threshold.
