The `mqtt` binary sensor platform uses an MQTT message received to set the binary sensor's state to `on`, `off` or `unknown`.

The state will be updated only after a new message is published on `state_topic` matching `payload_on`, `payload_off` or `None`. If these messages are published with the `retain` flag set,

Otherwise, the initial state displayed in Home Assistant will be `unknown`.
