DDF for Ikea Parasoll open/close sensor

[SwoopX]

Mostly standard device. However, it still needs to be verified if it can work with groups, as mentioned in the respective issue.

Picked one up today. My observations:

• It can work with groups alright: just bind the client On/Off cluster on endpoint 0x01 to the group. Consequently, config/group should be exposed;
• It supports Idendity, so config/alert should be exposed;
• It should expose attr/productid, after Product Code;
• I still see config/pending - maybe that's the legacy code interfering?
• Did you actually see Battery reported in the Zone Status or is state/lowbattery an assumption?
• It doesn't send supervisory reports, so we need to configure periodic reporting on Zone Status.
• Image Type is 0x3277.

@ebaauw Feel free to set up a follow up PR to improve the device. I don't own it, so it was the "typical" remote integration purely based on the respective issue.

As for config/pending, this is still a must for the IAS code to work properly, state/lowbattery is indeed an assumption. In my view, we wouldn't need any periodic zone status reporting, as the device would go with config/duration which I just note by writing these lines I have forgotten to include. If memory serves, durationdue would take care of resetting the state after the period of duration has passed.

Hi there, I'm quite new to using DDF files so sorry for asking 'stupid' questions. I've tried to find instructions how to use them, but am not able to find anything.

I've just tried to add the Parasoll sensor to deCONZ (running on RPI 3B with Domoticz 2024.2), I've added the parasoll.json DDF file into the "devices" folder on deCONZ, but the sensor won't show up either in Phoscon or Domoticz. I've tried to add it via the 'new sensor' function in Phoscon, but still it doesn't show up.

Thanks in advance!

Edit 21:50
Got it working after a lot of trial and error now. Sensor shows up in Phoscon and also in Domoticz. Seems however still not to be fully functional, its showing up as a door sensor, but if I move the sensor (to trigger the door opening/closing) it doesn't show that in Domoticz. It only has 1 trigger (the very first) and the door remains closed according Domoticz.

@SwoopX would you know maybe if there should be any changes somewhere?
