I have a MimoLite that I am using to add automation to an Autoslide patio door opener. Device works fine, I was able to add it to homeseer (v4) and I can ask alexa to open my patio door. All great until I wanted to go a little deeper with automating the door. I want to create an event that fires when the door is opened, but I do not have the MimoLite or the 'Patio Door' binary switch availble as a Device under events. I tried working around this by possibly creating a virtual device and linking it to the binary switch on the MimoLite , but the MimoLite and Switch do not show up in the list of link devices for creating a virtual device either. What am I missing ?
I have a camera that point at my patio door. When the motion zone just in front of the patio door is triggered the camera sends a snapshot to a folder. I have an application that polls that folder and uses DeepStack to determine what triggered the camera. If its one of my dogs then I want to open the patio door and turn on the outside light for a few minutes (so the camera can see the dog at night when they come back to the door). Since I am unable to add the MimoLite in an HS4 event, I was able to trigger it sending a call in to the deviceID, but that doesn't really help with the patio light . If I have to I can update the application to make 2 calls into HS one to open the door and one to trigger the light, but it seems like I should be able to handle this with an event . Either a manually triggered event that I can call to open the door and turn on the light, or an event to turn on the light anytime the device value for the binary switch on the MimoLite changes (door opens). Should I be able to address the MimoLite from an event? If so what might be causing it to not show up?
The device is created as shown in the image:
Thanks!
