3 state sensor

Configuration
1

Has anyone made a 3 way sensor? I am looking for a way to make a sensor that displays one of 3 states based on inputs from 2 binary sensors.

Example logic:
Sensor 1 on, sensor 2 off = state 1
Sensor 1 off, sensor 2 on = state 2
Sensor 1 off, sensor 2 off = state 3

You need a template sensor

- platform: template
  sensors:
   your_three_state_sensor:
      friendly_name: 'Three Is The Best Number'
      value_template: >
        {% if states.binary_sensor.sensor_1.state == 'on' and states.binary_sensor.sensor_2.state =='off' %}
          state 1
        {% elif states.binary_sensor.sensor_1.state == 'off' and states.binary_sensor.sensor_2.state =='on' %}
          state 2
        {% elif states.binary_sensor.sensor_1.state == 'off' and states.binary_sensor.sensor_2.state =='off' %}
          state 3
        {% else %}
          Boom !
        {% endif %}

You’re welcome :slight_smile:

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      solar_angle:
        friendly_name: "Name"
        value_template: "{% if (states.sensor.one.state == 'on' and states.sensor.two == 'off') %}state 1{% elif  (states.sensor.one.state == 'off' and states.sensor.two == 'on') %}state 2{% elif  (states.sensor.one.state == 'off' and states.sensor.two == 'off') %}state 3{% endif %}"

Thanks. Works well
