Trigger a Binary Senor when running a Scene?

Configuration
1

I have a scenario where I want a visual notification (both in HA and on my HADashboard) when a certain Scene is run in HA. Right now, I have added an outlet to the scene to turn on when the scene is run, then I can see if that outlet is ON and I know the scene has run. I would prefer not to waste the outlet on this simple task so I am wondering if there is some way to use the Template or Command Line Binary Sensor to trigger an “On” state when the Scene is run and an “Off” state when another Scene is run which disables the first Scene?

Use an input Boolean for this job! It’s a dummy switch that turns on and off without being linked to any device.

Thanks! That does look promising, if I can figure it out :slight_smile:
