Home Assistant Binary Sensor¶
The homeassistant binary sensor platform allows you to create binary sensors that import
states from your Home Assistant instance using the native API.
Note
Although you might not plan to export states from the node and you do not need an entity of the node in Home Assistant, this component still requires you to register the node under Home Assistant. See: Connecting your device to Home Assistant.
