Binary Sensor - Inverting Status and re-instate state after Start-Up

[123 (Taras)]

I searched the community forum for ‘invert binary sensor’ and the commonly suggested solution is to create a template binary_sensor to invert the output of your KNX sensor.

[Solved] Invert/reverse reported status of a binary sensor?

I have a lock, which is a binary sensor, where the reported status is reversed: When I lock the door, it is reported it as ‘unlocked’ and visa versa. How can resolve this? Is there a way to invert the reported value?

There is also a Feature Request to provide binary_sensors with an invert: true option. You may wish to vote for it.

Binary Sensor invert property

Introduce “invert” boolean property to binary sensors. When invert: true, the value is inverted so that true is false and false is true.

The reason I asked if you were using MQTT Binary Sensor is because you can invert it by modifying its payload_on and payload_off options.
