Platform: homeassistant and binary_sensor errors?

ESPHome
1

In my msp2807 led display, I have this code to pull from a HomeAssistant:

sensor:
  - platform: homeassistant
    entity_id: sensor.motorhome_hlsr10_bat_veh_voltage
    id: veh_volts
    on_value: 
      then:
        - logger.log: "mpr says: veh volts has changed"

  - platform: homeassistant
    entity_id: binary_sensor.esp32_s3_zero_waste
    id: waste_valve
    on_value: 
      then:
        - logger.log: "mpr says: waste value has changed"

The first value veh_volts comes across ok but the binary waste_valve does not. Throwing the error " Can't convert 'off' to number!:

Any help/suggestions to debug will be most welcome.

Since that second one is a binary sensor in Home Assistant, I suspect it needs to be a binary sensor in ESPHome as well (instead of a sensor as you have it now).
