Configuration variables:
- **platform** (*Required*: Needed to let Home Assistant know this is a Homematic rollershutter.
- **address** (*Required*): The serial number of the device, eg. LEQ1234567
- **name** (*Optional*): Name to identify the device.
- **button** (*Optional*): Channel of the device to monitor (default: 1)
- **button** (*Optional*): Channel of the device to monitor. Defaults to 1.
- **param** (*Optional*): For devices with multiple channels and possible events, you may define which event type you want to attatch to this entity. If none is specified all events will turn the state to on.
- **hidden** (*Optional*): Hide device from UI. Makes sense for buttons that will only trigger automations etc. (default: False)

Beware, that binary sensors might be included in devices that also have other functions. For example: The HM-Sen-MDIR-WM55 motion detector does not only detect motion (no motion == False, motion == True), it also detects the surrounding brightness (configure as sensor to monitor brightness from 0 to 255) and has buttons which can be pressed in different ways. Since buttons can only be pressed or not pressed, we consider them as binary sensors.
The way buttons work is, that the entity for the specified parameter will be set to on and off again. So if you press the button shortly, it will flip on and off instantly, which could trigger some automation. If you hold down the button, the entity configured for the long press will be flipped on and off and can trigger another automation. As of now, we don't support the release of the long press and the continuation events that happen inbewteen.

As of now, we don't support the release of the long press and the continuation events that happen in between.
You may leave out the parameter, which will result in a single entity turning on and off on any supported event.
As an example for a complete configuration of the HM-Sen-MDIR-WM55 device:
