Code question: sensor state not showing correctly in Home Assistant

ESPHome
1

I have 5 Sonoff basics flashed with the following Esphome <espbasic.yaml> In Home Assistant the relays respond correctly, but the binary.sensor doesn’t display on/off along with button press. The led on the Sonoff toggles correctly with the relay. Also I get “no state history found” when I select a relay in HA LovelaceUI. I’m sure its a simple fix, but I’m not sure where to look.

here is the code i use for my sonoff basics (old style with solder traces):
