Hi there, I want to declare a global boolean variable in Home Assistant that I can read and change with different automations. I have never worked with variables in Home Assistant before, so I don’t really know how to achieve this. Any help is appreciated!
This would be a input helper
settings > devices > helpers tab … the ‘toggle’ type

thanks, that worked fine!
how do you change it in your automation?
Via service… Input boolean: Toggle

How would I save the state of an input_boolean helper in one script and restore that state in another script?
I made a 2nd input_boolean helper but don’t know how to set this to the value of the other …
- service: input_boolean.turn_{{ states('input_boolean.one') }}
entity_id: input_boolean.two
