I miss the binary sensor device_class link?

[Zarox666]

I am building a sensor based on my Router reporting Link State via Webhook.

Is there really not device_class “link” with the states “UP” and “DOWN” for binary sensors?

I found this one

WTH is there no binary sensor custom Device Class?

Rather than maintaining an ever growing list of binary sensor device classes to support things like people having windows that open horizontally or gates or mailboxes, etc… WTH not implement support for custom device classes that could possibly be defined like this: device_class: - <domain> - <class> state_on: <on state word> state_off: <off state word> icon_on: <mdi icon for on state> icon_off: <mdi icon for off state> The class would have to b…

but could find no indication that it was implemented.

Any Ideas how to solve this without having to resort to ugly “1”/“0” or “On”/“Off”?

1. There’s no device_class that reports UP/DOWN.

2. Currently, there’s no support for custom device classes.

3. I suggest you consider using connectivity value for device_class. It reports Connected/Disconnected.
