Switch with scripts for on/off

Configuration
1

I looked a lot of topics on this issue and I have two working solutions as i want
but
i dont like first solution because it seems to me that this option is too cumbersome and it should be easier to implement
and
i dont like second solution because i could not find an easy way to make the icons of input_boolean (for example, icon: mdi:desktop-classic) change colors to yellow when state is on as switch

so I ask for help

1 )

  customize:
   input_boolean.test_boolean1:
     assumed_state: true
     hidden: true
   switch.test_boolean1:
     assumed_state: true

input_boolean:
  test_boolean1:
    name: test_boolean1

switch:
  - platform: template
    switches:
      test_boolean1:
        value_template: "{{ is_state('input_boolean.test_boolean1', 'on') }}"
        turn_on:
          service: script.turn_on
          entity_id: script.ontest
        turn_off:
          service: script.turn_on
          entity_id: script.offtest

script:
  ontest:
    sequence:
      - service: script.turn_on
        entity_id: script.teston
      - service: input_boolean.turn_on
        entity_id: input_boolean.test_boolean1

  offtest:
    sequence:
      - service: script.turn_on
        entity_id: script.testoff
      - service: input_boolean.turn_off
        entity_id: input_boolean.test_boolean1

2 )

  customize:
   input_boolean.test_boolean:
     assumed_state: true

input_boolean:
  test_boolean:
    name: test_boolean

automation:
- alias: "test_boolean_on"
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.test_boolean
      to: 'on'
  action:
      service: script.turn_on
      entity_id: script.teston

- alias: "test_boolean_off"
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.test_boolean
      to: 'off'
  action:
      service: script.turn_on
      entity_id: script.testoff

Can you format your code using the blue bar on top of the page please?
It’s really difficult to read otherwise and assess potential code syntax issues.

try this:

homeassistant:
  customize:
    input_boolean.notify_motion:
      templates:
        icon: >
          if (state === 'on') return 'mdi:run-fast';
          return 'mdi:eye-off';
        icon_color: >
          if (state === 'on') return 'rgb(251, 210, 41)';
          return 'rgb(54, 95, 140)';

of course change name and specifics to your liking

For option 1, you don’t really need the scripts. You can simplify the switch by combining them like this:

switch:
  - platform: template
    switches:
      test_boolean1:
        value_template: "{{ is_state('input_boolean.test_boolean1', 'on') }}"
        turn_on:
          - service: script.turn_on
            entity_id: script.teston
          - service: input_boolean.turn_on
            entity_id: input_boolean.test_boolean1
        turn_off:
          - service: script.turn_on
            entity_id: script.testoff
          - service: input_boolean.turn_off
            entity_id: input_boolean.test_boolean1

     templates:
        icon: >
          if (state === 'on') return 'mdi:run-fast';
          return 'mdi:eye-off';
        icon_color: >
          if (state === 'on') return 'rgb(251, 210, 41)';
          return 'rgb(54, 95, 140)';

yes it does, probably something else is not in order, maybe you havent yet installed Custom-ui?

true
I have not gotten to Custom-ui yet
then what I want can not be done by standard means without Custom-ui?

A lot can be done, I suggest you read up first: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/customizing-devices/

Custom-Ui takes things a step further though …
