GPIO port

[petez69]

Hi ALL

Is there a plugin to manage the GPIO ports on the raspberry PI running Homeseer ?

Thanks..Pete

I'm also looking for a way to access the gpio ports on the pi

I'm using GPIO pins on a Zee S2 to detect dry contact closure from a driveway sensor. I didn't really want to mess with a plugin, so I wrote a short Python script that detects contact closure and runs an event through the JSON interface.

driveway.py

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import requests

sensor = 12
url = 'http://localhost:81/JSON?request=runevent&group=Sensors&name=Driveway%20Sensor'
data = ''

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(sensor,GPIO.IN,GPIO.PUD_DOWN)

while True:
	time.sleep(0.2)
	if GPIO.input(sensor) == True:
		print("Driveway sensor tripped")
		try:
			response = requests.get(url, data=data)
		except:
			print("Driveway exception caught")
		time.sleep(15)

GPIO.cleanup()

I run the script in the background from /etc/rc.local before starting HomeSeer.

echo "Starting driveway monitor"
sudo /usr/bin/python /root/driveway.py &

Nice. I saw another post in which you mentioned the driveway sensor connected to the pi and wondered how..
