I spent hours on this and can’t figure it out.
I use a blueprint which requires a binary_sensor (door open/close)
My available binary status for this function is unfortunately not a sensor but the the on/off status of a magnet (basically: on status = door closed, off status = door open)
So I created a binary_sensor helper. So far so good.
Now I try to create an automation using the magnet status as trigger to set the binary_sensor helper on or off.
But I can’t find any action (using the GUI) to change the binary_sensor state.
How to manipulate the status of the helper (binary_sensor) in an automation?
Is this possible using the automation GUI or is my approach wrong?
Anyone who can explain to me the correct approach to solve this problem.
