Motion Sensor does not push refresh by itself (only when i pull up the control center)

Hi,

i used a plugin from “homebridge-hc-sr501” and customiced it for me.

I want to activate an motionSensor when a pin is detecting something and and deactivate when another pin detect something. Sounds very easy 😃

I got now the main function, but i get the notification at least when i pull up (refresh) the Control center on my iPhone. I think i missed the function to pull the service by its own…

Can anyone help me there?

Is it correct that the this.service.getCharacteristic(Characteristic.MotionDetected) .on('get', this.getState.bind(this)); should take care of this?

var Service;
var Characteristic;
var HomebridgeAPI;
var Gpio = require('onoff').Gpio;
var insideTriggered = false;
var outsideTriggered = false;

module.exports = function(homebridge) {
    Service = homebridge.hap.Service;
    Characteristic = homebridge.hap.Characteristic;
    HomebridgeAPI = homebridge;

    // console.log(Service.ContactSensor);
    homebridge.registerAccessory("homebridge-hc-sr501", "HC-SR501", SR501);
};

function SR501(log, config) {
	this.log = log;
	this.name = config.name;
	this.pinIdInside = config.pinIdInside;
	this.pinIdOutside = config.pinIdOutside;

	this.sensorInside = new Gpio(this.pinIdInside, 'in', 'both');
	this.sensorOutside = new Gpio(this.pinIdOutside, 'in', 'both');

	this.sensorInside.watch(function (err, value) {
		if (err) {
    		throw err;
  		}
  		console.log("SENSOR INSIDE -sensorInside.watch" + value);
		if (value == 1){
			insideTriggered = true;
			outsideTriggered = false;
			console.log("SENSOR INSIDE -insideTriggered: " + insideTriggered + " -outsideTriggered: " + outsideTriggered);
		}
	});
	this.sensorOutside.watch(function (err, value) {
		if (err) {
    		throw err;
  		}
  		console.log("SENSOR OUTSIDE -sensorOutside.watch" + value);
		if (value == 1){
			outsideTriggered = true;
			insideTriggered = false;
			console.log("SENSOR OUTSIDE -insideTriggered: " + insideTriggered + " -outsideTriggered: " + outsideTriggered);
		}
	});

	// info service
	this.informationService = new Service.AccessoryInformation();
	    
	this.informationService
	.setCharacteristic(Characteristic.Manufacturer, "PIR Manufacturer")
	.setCharacteristic(Characteristic.Model, config.model || "HC-SR501")
	.setCharacteristic(Characteristic.SerialNumber, config.serial || "4BD53931-D4A9-4850-8E7D-8A51A942FA29");


	this.service = new Service.MotionSensor(this.name);

	this.service.getCharacteristic(Characteristic.MotionDetected)
		.on('get', this.getState.bind(this));


	var that = this;
	
	if (insideTriggered == true) {
	that.service.setCharacteristic(Characteristic.MotionDetected, 1);
	insideTriggered = false;
	console.log("OUTSIDE TRIGGERED -Characteristic.MotionDetected 1");
	}

	if (outsideTriggered == true) {
	that.service.setCharacteristic(Characteristic.MotionDetected, 0);
	outsideTriggered = false;
	console.log("INSIDE TRIGGERED -Characteristic.MotionDetected 0");
	}


	process.on('SIGINT', function () {
		that.motionSensor.unexport();
	});
}

SR501.prototype.getState = function(callback) {
	var val = insideTriggered;
	console.log("MANUAL UPDATE -getState insideTriggered: " + insideTriggered);
	callback(null, val);
};

SR501.prototype.getServices = function() {
	console.log("??? getServices this.informationService " + this.informationService);
	console.log("??? getServices this.service " + this.service);
  return [this.informationService, this.service];
};

…and the same for the other event, too, of course.
