|
The `input_boolean` integration allows the user to define boolean values that can be controlled via the frontend and can be used within conditions of automation. This can for example be used to disable or enable certain automations.
|
|
|
|
To enable input booleans in your installation, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
input_boolean:
|
|
notify_home:
|
|
name: Notify when someone arrives home
|
|
initial: off
|
|
icon: mdi:car
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% configuration %}
|
|
input_boolean:
|
|
description: Alias for the input. Multiple entries are allowed.
|
|
required: true
|
|
type: map
|
|
keys:
|
|
name:
|
|
description: Friendly name of the input.
|
|
required: false
|
|
type: String
|
|
initial:
|
|
description: Initial value when Home Assistant starts.
|
|
required: false
|
|
type: boolean
|
|
default: false
|
|
icon:
|
|
description: Icon to display for the component.
|
|
required: false
|
|
type: icon
|
|
{% endconfiguration %}
|
|
|
|
### Restore State
|
|
|
|
This integration will automatically restore the state it had prior to Home Assistant stopping as long as your entity does **not** have a set value for `initial`. To disable this feature, set a valid value for `initial`.
|
|
|
|
## Automation Examples
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of an automation using the above `input_boolean`. This action will only occur if the switch is on.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
automation:
|
|
alias: Arriving home
|
|
trigger:
|
|
platform: state
|
|
entity_id: binary_sensor.motion_garage
|
|
to: 'on'
|
|
condition:
|
|
condition: state
|
|
entity_id: input_boolean.notify_home
|
|
state: 'on'
|
|
action:
|
|
service: notify.pushbullet
|
|
data:
|
|
title: ""
|
|
message: "Honey, I'm home!"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also set or change the status of an `input_boolean` by using `input_boolean.turn_on`, `input_boolean.turn_off` or `input_boolean.toggle` in your automations.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- service: input_boolean.turn_on
|
|
data:
|
|
entity_id: input_boolean.notify_home
|
|
```
|
