Binary sensor states names customization

Hi,
I got a bunch of Z-Wave door/window sensors (Everspring).
After including them, I can see a binary_sensor entity for each one that turns “on” when the window is opened and “off” when closed.
I would rather see them saying “Open” and “Closed” instead.

Is there now a way to directly override these state names, e.g. through customize.yaml or is the best way still to add a template binary sensor that maps the original binary sensor’s state to open/closed?

Yes. Apply a device class using customization.

Thanks a lot! I literally just figured this out myself too :slight_smile:
