Binary sensors gather information about state of switches, contacts, pins, and alike. The return value of those sensors is usually digital (1/0). This means that those sensors knows only two states: **0/off/low/closed/false** and **1/on/high/open/true**.
Knowing that there are only two states allows Home Assistant to represent these sensors in a better way in the frontend according to their functionality.
Binary sensors gather information about the state of devices which have a "digital" return value (either 1 or 0). These can be switches, contacts, pins, etc. These sensors only have two states: **0/off/low/closed/false** and **1/on/high/open/true**. Knowing that there are only two states allows Home Assistant to represent these sensors in a better way in the frontend according to their functionality.
The way these sensors are displayed in the frontend can be modified in the [customize section](/getting-started/customizing-devices/). The following device classes are supported for binary sensors:
