Binary sensors are gathering 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: **off/low/open** and **on/high/closed**.
Binary sensors are gathering 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: **0/off/low/open/false** and **1/on/high/closed/true**.
Knowing that there are only two states allows Home Assistant to represent the sensor better in the frontend.
