Prevent Switch from switching, but retain States - Mirroring State?

Great, working! Thanks for caring for bloody beginners :slight_smile:
Looks like Assigning custom Sensors to Areas isn’t possible (if not issuing an unique Id, which scares me a bit) - or did i miss something?

Edit: Oh - when Disabling the “Source” (Switch), the Custom Sensor becomes unavailable. What kinda makes sense, but thats not what i was looking for :frowning:
Speaking of Goals: I want to prevent a switch to get switched, but still see the Status. Ideally in the same Area, with the same Name. How would one achieve that?
