ESPHOME binary state error

ESPHome

Hi everyone,
with a nextion display I am making a control to turn on the lights and close the terrace curtains. I am using, for shelly 1 lights and 2.5 for shelly curtains. I connected the nextion display with a NODE MCU and everything seems to work. Checking the ESPhome logs in HA I get the following error message when using shelly 2.5: Can’t convert ‘opening’ to binary state! the curtain opens and closes but I cannot change the image in the display.
Any idea ???
Thanks for your help.
Regards.

Following part of the script:
display:

  • platform: nextion
    lambda: |-
    it.set_wait_for_ack(false);
    if (id(Luce_Terrazzo).state) {
    it.send_command_printf("%s.pic=5", “luce”);
    }
    else {
    it.send_command_printf("%s.pic=4", “luce”);
    }
    if (id(Tenda_Terrazzo_Grande).state) {
    it.send_command_printf("%s.pic=8", “tenda1”);
    }
    else {
    it.send_command_printf("%s.pic=7", “tenda1”);
    }

Please format your pasted code.

Binary states are ‘off’ and ‘on’ only. Your shelly is sending ‘opening’ when it should send ‘on’.

If you want three or more states (e.g. open, closed, opening) use a sensor rather than a binary_sensor.

Hi Tom,
thanks for your help.
I try to set sensor but unfortunately without success.
How can I format the code properly?
Thanks in advance for your help.
