Input Boolean question

Hi

I have a few tuya door sensors which aren’t currently supported by Home Assistant, so as a workaround I have paired them with Alexa and created an Alexa routine to toggle an input boolean helper. So when the door is open the boolean is on and off for when the door is closed. I can then send notifications etc.

Is it possible to change the states from off and on to closed and open?

Also, is there a way to have the boolean in a card in Lovelace but disable it so it can’t be toggled but can still show its state (like greyed out)?

thanks :relaxed:

Not sure if it will work for you, but I think the op had the same idea as you.

Rather than getting Alexa to toggle an input_boolean can it send a webhook instead?

If so you could create a triggerable binary template sensor that can have any device class (like door) added.
