The `random` binary sensor platform is creating random states (`True`, 1, `on` or `False`, 0, `off`). This can be useful if you want to test automation rules. It generates a new state every time it is polled.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To enable the random binary sensor, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
||||||
|
binary_sensor:
|
||||||
|
- platform: random
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
{% configuration %}
|
||||||
|
name:
|
||||||
|
description: Name to use in the frontend.
|
||||||
|
required: false
|
||||||
|
type: string
|
||||||
|
{% endconfiguration %}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
See the [entity component options](/docs/configuration/platform_options/) to control how often the main component polls the random binary sensor. The default is 30 seconds.
