Hi there,
i have a tilt sensor attached to my roof window.
The sensor gives me values for the x/y/z axis and changes with the opening state of the window.
Now i want to have a custom window sensor that show me two (or three) states: open (and a little bit open for air flow) and closed.
What is the simplest way to achieve this?
I looked into templates, Helper, automations and i am lost…

Create a template sensor. Something like this:
- binary_sensor:
unique_id: MYID
name: "roof_window_open"
state: >
{{
states("sensor.tilt_axes") |int(0) > 5
}}
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.tilt_axes
Where 5 is the axes where you want to report it as open

Thanks,
I got something similar to work:
`
template:
- trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.fenstersensordg_kiz_x_axis
sensor:
name: “roof_window”
state: ‘{{is_state(“sensor.fenstersensordg_kiz_y_axis”) |int(0) > 700 and is_state(“sensor.fenstersensordg_kiz_z_axis”) |int(0) < -300 }}’
device_class: window
`
But the last thing, the device_class is not working (with templates)
Any solution to that, because i would like to have a “Window” device /entity
