HTTP Binary Sensor

<hr class="divider">
<p>The URL for a binary sensor looks like the example below:</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>http://IP_ADDRESS:8123/api/states/binary_sensor.DEVICE_NAME
</code></pre>
</div>
<p class="note">
You should choose a unique device name (DEVICE_NAME) to avoid clashes with other devices.
</p>
<p>The JSON payload must contain the new state and can have a friendly name. The friendly name is used in the frontend to name the sensor.</p>
<div class="language-json highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="p">{</span><span class="nt">"state"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">"on"</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nt">"attributes"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="p">{</span><span class="nt">"friendly_name"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">"Radio"</span><span class="p">}}</span><span class="w">
</span></code></pre>
</div>
<p>For a quick test <code class="highlighter-rouge">curl</code> can be useful to “simulate” a device.</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>curl -X POST -H <span class="s2">"x-ha-access: YOUR_PASSWORD"</span> <span class="se">\</span>
-H <span class="s2">"Content-Type: application/json"</span> <span class="se">\</span>
-d <span class="s1">'{"state": "off", "attributes": {"friendly_name": "Radio"}}'</span> <span class="se">\</span>
http://localhost:8123/api/states/binary_sensor.radio
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>To check if the sensor is working, use again <code class="highlighter-rouge">curl</code> to retrieve the <a href="/developers/rest_api/#get-apistatesltentity_id">current state</a>.</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>curl -X GET -H <span class="s2">"x-ha-access: YOUR_PASSWORD"</span> <span class="se">\</span>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="examples" href="#examples"></a> Examples</h2>
<p>In this section you find some real life examples of how to use this sensor. Beside <code class="highlighter-rouge">curl</code>.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="using-python-request-module" href="#using-python-request-module"></a> Using Python request module</h3>
<p>As already shown on the <a href="/developers/rest_api/">API</a> page, its very simple to use Python and the <a href="http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/">Requests</a> module for the interaction with Home Assistant.</p>
