I’ve set up a Toggle (via Lovelace) for vacation mode.
Then a pre-existing&functioning automation (for device “Night Music”) was augmented to respect this toggle, by adding an “And” condition to check the Toggle’s state.
It’s looks really good, except for the very minor issue of the automation no longer working.
That is very confusing.
I don’t understand why it’s like that.
Especially since when you template to a boolean response {{ something == 5 }} you get true/false.
The way I see it is that Boolean is always true/false.
A switch can be on/off.
Had it been called input.switch or input.toggle then it would have made sense to have on/off.
But Boolean is true/false 1/0.
On/off is a textual representation of true/false in my opinion.
