So I made a custom card: https://github.com/marcokreeft87/room-card
Everything works fine, except for the binary_sensor entities. Their icons do not update when the binary_sensor state update. Anyone got an idea why?

Hmm Nobody??
Hi, Did you work it out? I have the same problem with setting a custom icon… doesn’t update but using the default icon it does.
- trigger:
- platform: webhook
webhook_id: bath-2
binary_sensor:
- name: "Bathroom"
unique_id: bath-2
device_class: occupancy
state: "{% if 'Unoccupied' in trigger.json.Cortex_HAAPI.State %}False {% else %}True {% endif -%}"
icon: >
{% if is_state("binary_sensor.bathroom", True) %}
mdi:bathtub
{% else %}
mdi:shower
{% endif %}
This is what I get when binary is True
This is what I am hoping for
Hey, yes its working now. Was some issue in the code. But your problem…
Your sensor, what is the off state trigger.json.Cortex_HAAPI.State give?
And if thats not the problem I think it has something to do with the fact you are using the state of the sensor in its own template. I did something similar and I had to use states.binary_sensor.bathroom in your case.
Also try to define it like this:
binary_sensor:
bathroom:
friendly_name: 'Bathroom'
Thanks for getting back to me!
There are 3 room states in Cortex; unoccupied, occupied, must be occupied.
On the API these are presented as (only 1 of the state messages is sent, these are the 3 types of response)
{
"Cortex_HAAPI":{
"Room": "Family Room",
"State-u": "Bedroom 3 - Unoccupied.\n",
"State-o": "Family Room - Occupied.\n",
"State-must": "Bath Room - Occupied.\n"
}
}
I also changed the sensor definition within the template as suggested but it told me ‘Property friendly_name is not allowed’
- trigger:
- platform: webhook
webhook_id: bath-2
binary_sensor:
- name: bathroom
friendly_name: Bathroom
Ah yeah its not a template entity. Sorry about that. Try your yaml out in the developer tools section > template. That always helps me a lot
