Xiaomi window/door sensor value in HomeKit

Tried to loo this up, I’m pretty sure, this question has been posted here, but no luck…

I’m using Xiaomi window/door sensor, and it is connected to window shutter.
When the sensor is ‘off’, it means the window shutter is ‘open’. Pls don’t ask why! :slight_smile:

Wanted to convert values, so I can see in HomeKit, if the shutter is open:

off → Open
on → Closed

the following code works:

  • platform: template
    sensors:
    office_shutter_status:
    friendly_name: Office shutter
    entity_id:
    - binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_158d00044d980b
    value_template: >-
    {%- if is_state(“binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_158d00044d980b”, “off”) -%}
    open
    {%- else -%}
    closed
    {%- endif -%}

The only problem is, HomeKit doesn’t want to process it. :confused:

Thx for the helps!
