AngularJS null value for select

This should work for you:

Controller:

  function MyCntrl($scope) {
    $scope.obj ={"selected":null};
    $scope.objects = [{id: 1, value: "Yes"}, {id: 0, value: "No"}]
  }

Template:

  <div ng-controller="MyCntrl">

    <select ng-model="obj.selected"
            ng-options="value.id as value.value for value in objects">
            <option value="">Unknown</option>
    </select>

<br/>
     {{obj}}
  </div>

Working plnkr

You should use ng-options with select.
