Knowing that there are only two states allows Home Assistant to represent the sensor better in the frontend.
For analog sensors please check the [component overview](https://home-assistant.io/components/#sensor).
Most binary sensors supports the `SENSOR_CLASSES` which let you specify the type of your sensor. The following types are supoorted:
- **None**: Generic on/off
- **opening**: Door, window, etc
- **motion**: Motion sensor
- **gas'**: CO, CO2, etc
- **smoke'**: Smoke detector
- **moisture**: Specifically a wetness sensor
- **light**: Lightness threshold
- **power**: Power, over-current, etc
- **safety**: Generic on=unsafe, off=safe
- **heat**: On means hot (or too hot)
- **cold**: On means cold (or too cold)
- **moving**: On means moving, Off means stopped
- **sound**: On means sound detected, Off means no sound
- **vibration**: On means vibration detected, Off means no vibration
