<p>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: <strong>0/off/low/closed/false</strong> and <strong>1/on/high/open/true</strong>.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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: <strong>0/off/low/closed/false</strong> and <strong>1/on/high/open/true</strong>. 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.</p>
<p>The way these sensors are displayed in the frontend can be modified in the <a href="/getting-started/customizing-devices/">customize section</a>. The following device classes are supported for binary sensors:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>None</strong>: Generic on/off. This is the default and doesn’t need to be set.</li>
