Is there any way in either my config file or in my logbook I can change the way my entity states are referred to? I find it really hard to think of a door which is ‘off’ is closed and a door lock which is ‘on’ is unlocked? Is there any way I could replace the word “on” for “unlocked” across the board in regards to the lock? And any way I could replace the word “off” for “closed” or “shut”? Would make writing my automations so much easier, I make the occasional silly mistake because I don’t easily think in terms of on/off for my doors and locks!
Thanks
Give them device classes.
They are already “locks” if you mean device class: lock within binary sensor … but thanks. Guess I’ll just have to live with it.
When I’m using Node-Red to collect state, my devices with device classes give me the device class state.
Not sure why your devices aren’t giving you the device class state.
