Binary_sensor using [platform: template] to group other motion sensors

Hi all, I would like to create “dummy” sensors for my alarm - where any of the alarm eyes that face North, or West etc, will trigger the North binary_sensor.

The below use of a template binary_sensor does not work. Any guidance, please?


- platform: template
  sensors: 
    motion_north:
      unique_id: motion_north 
      friendly_name: Motion North
      device_class: motion
      value_template: >-
        "{{    is_state('binary_sensor.out_north_e', 'on')  
            or is_state('binary_sensor.out_north_w', 'on')  }}"   

Remove the quotes surrounding the value_template code. Those are only needed for single-line templates.

Ahhh, thank you. NewBee !
