Support Request: Configuring Roller Shutter Pulse Sensors (Cord/Fune) in Alarmo

[blackwiz4rd]

Device Description:
I am integrating a universal nylon-cord roller shutter sensor (Sensore a Fune per Tapparelle). These sensors generate rapid open/close pulses when the shutter is moved, rather than a steady state change: in reality in my setup, they are either safe (neutral position) or unsafe (when the rope is pulled, until it's not pulled anymore.

Current Setup:

• Platform: Home Assistant
• Integration: Alarmo
• Connection: ESP32 + Safe/Unsafe sensor as described above

The Issue:
What component should I use for theses? Do you intend to support this use case officially?

Request:

1. Does Alarmo have a native "pulse count" feature for sensors for this use case?
2. If not, is the recommended best practice to create a template_binary_sensor with a delay/count logic before passing the entity to Alarmo?
3. Are there specific "Sensor Type" settings in Alarmo that account for the momentary nature of these cord-pull contacts?

Checklist

• I checked for similar existing requests (both open and closed) before posting.
• My request is generic, other users may benefit from it too.

Any binary_sensor entity is supported in Alarmo.
I recommend to assign a device class that matches best with the sensor type.
