Hi everyone. I just bought a fibaro smart implant to transfer all my old home alarm sensors to z wave. However, it shows my device as a switch and has the on off. I can’t find any way to transfer it to “binary_sensor” open or close. Is there any way that I can change it to “binary_sensor”, so it only shows open or close? Thank you.
Thank you for your response. I did add the code below to my /config/configuration.yaml. However, it didn’t work. I don’t know how to fix it.
binary_sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
switch.smart_implant_6:
friendly_name:
device_class: opening
value_template: “{{ is_state(‘switch.door’, ‘on’) }}”
The entity of the switch in our screenshot is called “switch.smart_implant_6”. So the value_template needs to check for that.
binary_sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
smart_implant_6:
friendly_name: Smart implant 6
value_template: "{{ is_state('switch.smart_implant_6', 'on') }}"
binary_sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
smart_implant_6:
friendly_name: Smart implant 6
value_template: “{{ is_state(‘switch.smart_implant_6’, ‘on’) }}”
I added it in my /config/configuration.yaml. However, it still shows On-Off and not become binary_sensor” open or close. I don’t know what to do next.
Since those switches are called “Main Door” and “Back Door” I would guess that you need to change your lovelace card and add the binary sensor there.
Look for the sensor at the state page. It should be called “binary_sensor.smart_implant_6”.
I put binary_sensor.smart_implant_6 in the Lovelace. Then, it just shows “Door closed and On”. I don’t know why it so hard to make it show the open and close.
You’ve missed out device_class: door
in your binary_sensor
definition
Finally, it working. Thank everyone.
Can you show your entire code for that and where did you put it? Sitting in the same boat with a Telldus Door sensor.
Here is the entire code that I used.
binary_sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
smart_implant_1_6:
friendly_name: Back Door
device_class: door
value_template: "{{ is_state('switch.smart_implant_1_6', 'off') }}"
smart_implant_2_6_2:
friendly_name: Garage Door
device_class: door
value_template: "{{ is_state('switch.smart_implant_2_6_2', 'off') }}"
smart_implant_1_5:
friendly_name: Main Door
device_class: door
value_template: "{{ is_state('switch.smart_implant_1_5', 'off') }}"
I hope it helps.
Thanks for the help
I have almost the same problem but I am struggeling with my code. The sensor says unavailable. What have I done wrong with this code?
sensor øvre garasje:
- platform: template
sensors:
ovregarasje:
value_template: >-
{% if states('switch.smart_implant_5') | on %}
Lukket
{% else %}
Åpen
{%- endif %}
icon_template: '{% if is_state("sensor.ovregarasje", "lukket") %}mdi:garage-variant{% else %}mdi:garage-open-variant{% endif %}'
friendly_name: "Øvre garasje status"
