Invert Output Aqara Door Sensor (Close -> Open)

[Ramset]

Hello,

I tried this Tutorial to create an Rain Sensor and for that i have to Invert the Status of the Doorsensor.
Tutorial

Open = Dry
Close = Rain

The Codesample in this Guide didnt work for me.

- platform: template
  sensors:
    regensensor:
      friendly_name: "Regensensor"
      device_class: moisture
      icon_template: >-
        {% if is_state('binary_sensor.fenster_turkontaktsensor_2', 'off') %}
          mdi:weather-rainy
        {% else %}
          mdi:water-off
        {% endif %}

My Version:

- platform: template
  sensors:
    regensensor:
    friendly_name: "Regensensor"
    device_class: moisture
    icon_template: >-
      {% if is_state('binary_sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_magnet_aq2_opening', 'off') %}
        mdi:weather-rainy
      {% else %}
        mdi:water-off
      {% endif %}

Copy and Paste in this File: /config/sensors.yaml
Entetie: binary_sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_magnet_aq2_opening

What i m doing wrong?
I can not program, I understand the subject only very rudimentary.

Thanks.

You added to configuration.yaml ?
sensor: !include sensor.yaml

Splitting up the configuration

[Ramset]

Sensor or Sensor"s" ?
My configuration.yaml:

# Loads default set of integrations. Do not remove.
default_config:

# Load frontend themes from the themes folder
frontend:
  themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes

# Text to speech
tts:
  - platform: google_translate

automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml
sensor: !include sensors.yaml

camera:
  - platform: generic
    still_image_url: https://www.dwd.de/DWD/warnungen/warnstatus/SchilderHA.jpg
    name: Wetter Warnungen

I tryd a other Version:

- platform: dwd_weather_warnings
  name: Wetterwarnung Lohne
  region_name: 803460006
  
- platform: template
  sensors:
  regensensor:
    friendly_name: „Regensensor“
    device_class: moisture
    value_template: >-
     {{ is_state("binary_sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_magnet_aq2_opening", "off") }}
    icon_template: >-
     {% if is_state("binary_sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_magnet_aq2_opening", "off") %}
     mdi:weather-rainy
     {% else %}
     mdi:water-off
     {% endif %}

than he said invalid

Invalid config for [sensor.template]: expected dictionary for dictionary value @ data['sensors']. Got None
extra keys not allowed @ data['regensensor']. Got OrderedDict([('friendly_name', '„Regensensor“'), ('device_class', 'moisture'), ('value_template', '{{ is_state(‚binary_sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_magnet_aq2_opening‘, ‚off‘) }}'), ('icon_template', '{% if is_state(‚binary_sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_magnet_aq2_opening‘, ‚off‘) %} mdi:weather-rainy {% else %} mdi:water-off {% endif %}')]). (See ?, line ?).

Any ideas?

sensor.yaml

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      regensensor:
        friendly_name: "Regensensor"
        device_class: moisture
        value_template: >-
         {{ is_state("binary_sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_magnet_aq2_opening", "off") }}
        icon_template: >-
         {% if is_state("binary_sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_magnet_aq2_opening", "off") %}
         mdi:weather-rainy
         {% else %}
         mdi:water-off
         {% endif %}

/

friendly_name: „Regensensor“ 
To
friendly_name: "Regensensor"

Thank you very much for your answer.

I have done the following:

create an sensor.yaml
include that in den configuration yaml
copy your code (many thanks!) in it.

now i try to verify if it works. Please Wait

Forget my first Edit…
Thats what i see, i try to use it for an test.

[Ramset]

okay… now i feel stupid… very stupid. i thought all the time that the status at the actual sensor is overwritten… but i guess a new one is just created at which the inverted staus can be seen -.-"

Thank you very much!!! with your help I was able to solve the puzzle and the code from you also works!
I would not have managed without you!
In addition, I have learned something again today. But apart from that… you seem to have rebuilt your Home Assistant for a test, you have to take this time.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Can I ask for one last thing for advice? The status there is True and False. Can this be changed e.g. to Rain and Dry?

Edit:

Got it…

         {{ "Regen" if is_state("binary_sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_magnet_aq2_opening", "off") else "Trocken" }}

Complete Code for Copy and Paste:

- platform: template
  sensors:
      regensensor:
        friendly_name: "Regensensor"
        device_class: moisture
        value_template: >-
         {{ "Regen" if is_state("binary_sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_magnet_aq2_opening", "off") else "Trocken" }}
        icon_template: >-
         {% if is_state("binary_sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_magnet_aq2_opening", "off") %}
         mdi:weather-rainy
         {% else %}
         mdi:water-off
         {% endif %}
