How to read an IO pin state in rules ?

Hi All,

I have the rule below working fine,however I want to be able to disable both rules when needed by setting an IO pin high from openhab.

I can successfully toggle IO12 from openhab,I can see this in tools > pin state buffer,how do I read this pin state in rules to disable them when IO12 is high ?

Have tried setting up a switch under device tab using IO12 but it does not change state.

Code: Select all

on Pir_Sensor#Pir=1 do
   if [LDR#Analog]>1000 AND [Saturday#Inhibit]=0
     Publish RGB/0017F169/color/set,200,200,200
     Publish RGB/0017F169/brightness/set,200      
   endif
 endon

on Pir_Sensor#Pir=0 do
   if [LDR#Analog]>1000 AND [Saturday#Inhibit]=0
      Publish RGB/0017F169/state/set,OFF
  endif
endon
Thanks

If you use custom events you can use those to do more advanced rules.

You can assign input switch to your gpio12 and than tested its state.
Like at this example:

But using events, like grovkillen wrote, is better way.
