[Bug]: sensor and binary_sensor opposite

See original GitHub issue

Current Behavior

When the sensor is closed the icon is highlighted

binary_sensor is open it is highlight

Expected Behavior

They both act the same way. Preferable highlight/colored when in the open position.

Can there be a switch to invert the state for the icon?

I will close this as I was able to create binary sensors from the sensors to allow them to act as needed. Thank you!

Interesting. I will look at creating a binary_sensor from the sensor.
