Change return Value from ON to Ok or similar

ESPHome
1

Hello,

I have a working binary sensor. If button ist pressed it sends on and if released off. The sensor check the water level on a tank for a plant. The goal is, to sent instead of on and off to ok and empty or someting else. But how do change the return values in esphome ?

I have used this type of remapping in my ESPHome components before

# Example configuration entry
- platform: template
  # ...
  filters:
    - map:
      - on -> full
      - off -> empty

You can find more detail here:

binary_sensor:        
  - platform: gpio
    id: waterlevel_sensor
    name: Wassterstand
    icon: mdi:water-alert
    pin:
      number: D2
      mode: INPUT_PULLUP
      inverted: True
    filters:
      - map:
        - on -> full
        - off -> empty

    on_release:
      - if:
          condition:
            - switch.is_on: prelay
          then:
            - switch.turn_off: prelay
   
    on_press:
      - if:
          condition:
            - sensor.in_range:
                id: erdbeeren_moist_sensor
                below: 70
          then:
            - logger.log: Water filled up, moisture low, watering
            - delay: 10s
            - switch.turn_on: prelay
            - delay: 15s
            - switch.turn_off: prelay

Sadly it did not work.

      Unable to find filter with the name 'map'.

You would have to change ‘on’ and ‘off’ with the the exact output of your sensor data, and the ‘full/empty’ you can change to your liking.

Another option is to use Substitution instead:

# Example configuration entry
- platform: template
  # ...
  filters:
    - substitute:
      - "suf -> foo"
      - "pre -> bar"

Hey, I totally forgot! Map is set up to replace a list of known text list, so it wouldn’t work in this case. Substitution will hopefully work, it’s been a while since I edited my sensors.
