shell-execute plugin with buttons

---

Hello everybody,

it would be very nice if i could use the shell-execute plugin with buttons. I need them to control my shutters and to check
the current state of the switches. Our switches are something like that: https://www.fenstertechnik24.de/media/catalog/category/Doppelwippe_klein1_Kopie_2.jpg

just add a dummy shutter

    {
      "class": "DummyShutter",
      "id": "xy",
      "name": "xy"
    },

and then you can use rules:

if position of xy is up/down/stopped...........

First, thank you for your answer.
Is it possible to get the “position” with an shell-excute like “php tcp.php 192.168.0.62 3x4”?

You can’t use an execute action as of the condition expression as far as I know. Instead you can defined a ShellSensor for the position and use that as part of rules.

OK, thank you! This is a good idea. I will try it…

I have one more question. Now I implement the dummyshutter, is it possible to implement a third state??? At this time the shutter has “up” and “down”, but I need for example a “stop” state or something like that.

I’m searching for exact the same. Up and down is okay, but like to have a stop button. As workaround I’m changed my config to a buttonsDevice. But a dummyShutter with stop would be perfect.
