MultiIODevice¶

I/O devices have a wide variety of capabilities that we’ve tried to boil down to some specifics. The I/O devices that Indigo supports generally have some combination of three types of inputs: analog, binary, and sensor. They may also support some number of binary outputs.

Class Properties¶

All outputs are modified using commands below.

Property	Type	Writable	Description
`analogInputs`	list of integer	No	a list of the current analog input values, one per input, in a python list - can be accessed individually using the states below
`analogInputCount`	integer	No	number of analog inputs this device supports
`binaryInputs`	list of boolean	No	a list of the current binary input values, one per input - can be accessed individually using the states below
`binaryInputCount`	integer	No	number of binary inputs this device supports
`binaryOutputs`	list of boolean	No	a list of the current binary output values, on per output (max 12 total outputs) - can be accessed individually using the states below
`binaryOutputCount`	integer	No	number of binary outputs this device supports
`sensorInputCount`	integer	No	number of sensor inputs this device supports
`sensorInputs`	list of integer	No	a list of the current sensor input values, one per input - can be accessed individually using the states below

Device States¶

These are the states provided by this device type and accessible through the dev.states dictionary. They are read-only.

State ID	Type	Property Name	Notes
`analogInput#`	integer	N/A	value of input number represented by the # sign (input 1 would be `analogInput1`) - there will only be `dev.analogInputCount` inputs available
`analogInputsAll`	string	N/A	a comma separated list of all analog input values. Can be accessed as a Python list of integers by using `dev.analogInputs`.
`binaryInput#`	boolean	N/A	value of input number represented by the # sign (input 1 would be `binaryInput1`) - there will only be `dev.binaryInputCount` inputs available
`binaryInputsAll`	string	N/A	a comma separated list of all binary input values. Can be accessed as a Python list of booleans by using `dev.binaryInputs`.
`binaryOutput#`	boolean	N/A	value of output number represented by the # sign (output 1 would be `binaryOutput1`) - there will only be `dev.binaryOutputCount` outputs available
`binaryOutputsAll`	string	N/A	a comma separated list of all binary output values. Can be accessed as a Python list of booleans by using `dev.binaryOutputs`.
`sensorInput#`	integer	N/A	value of input number represented by the # sign (input 1 would be `sensorInput1`) - there will only be `dev.sensorInputCount` inputs available
`sensorInputsAll`	string	N/A	a comma separated list of all binary input values. Can be accessed as a Python list of booleans by using `dev.sensorInputs`.

Commands (indigo.iodevice.*)¶

Set Binary Output¶

Set the state of the specified binary output.

Command Syntax Examples

indigo.iodevice.setBinaryOutput(123, index=2, value=True)

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
direct parameter	Yes	integer	id or instance of the device
`index`	Yes	integer	0-based index of the output to change - should be less than the `binaryOutputCount` property of the device
`value`	Yes	boolean	True to turn the output on, False to turn it off

Examples

# If binary input 3 is true, set binary output 1

# to false (python arrays are 0-based)

myIODevice = indigo.devices[123]
if not myIODevice.binaryInputs[2]:
    indigo.iodevice.setBinaryOutput(myIODevice, index=1, value=False)
