I have a whole-house generator. It has an optional LED. There are 2 pins, LED+ and common. The LED is meant to flash a different number of times (from 1 - 9 flashes) to indicate 9 different possible generator faults. I am looking for a way to feed those two pins into a device that could then pass the number of pulses on to the hubitat, where I could translate them into meaningful error codes which I already have figured out. Is there a zigbee or z-wave device that could accomplish this? Thanks!
What is the make and model? I have a Generac and I installed a raspberry pi running Genmon on it and have that integrated with HE.

I suspect you could use the Fibaro FGBS-222 Smart Implant Temp/IO ZW device.
I'm not at home so you will have to search the forums for the integration and driver info.

This thing might have been an option, but it doesn't look like it's made anymore, at least by HomeSeer:

I wish I could use Genmon! It's a Briggs and Straton that is one generation too old for anything like Genmon. Thanks for the suggestion!

About to buy the FGBS-222, but I am trying to find some information on how to actually get the serial data (the number of "blinks" from the generator LED) from the FGBS-222 to the Hubitat, and then to translate it to a specific generator status. Perhaps I could use rule machine to do this? I know x blinks = x status already and would simply need to translate the data after the device receives it.
