Ability to add/edit binary sensors from the GUI

Feature Requests
1

I have setup mine using YAML but for new users that might not be simple as I am tech savvy. It would be great to be able to add/edit them in the GUI. At the moment I am able to group them via the GUI (thanks Tom/Mod) but I still have to create/edit them long-hand.

TIA

What kind of binary sensors are you referring to? Many many integrations make binary sensors and many can already be set up from the GUI. So please clarify which integration you are referring to that makes binary sensors but only when configured in YAML. Template perhaps?

Also don’t forget to vote for your own FR!

Yes - Template sensors :slight_smile:
e.g.

        friendly_name: "Matt is home"
        delay_off:
          minutes: 3
        value_template: >-
          {{ is_state('person.matt', 'home') }}

        friendly_name: "It's Raining"
        value_template: >-
          {{ is_state('sensor.openweathermap_condition', 'lightning-rainy')
             or is_state('sensor.openweathermap_condition', 'pouring')
             or is_state('sensor.openweathermap_condition', 'rainy')
             or is_state('sensor.openweathermap_condition', 'snowy-rainy') }}
