[Help] How to negate a status of entity?

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

I have an entity (garage door) where its state is indicated by other sensor than switch using for open/close. I did it as follow:

and generally it works fine, the only problem as I have here is that my sensor is active when door is closed. So my entity icon is highlighted not when door is closed, not opened as expected. How to negate this situation? Is there any way to do it just in apps.yaml, without using external template sensors? I tried as follow:

status: 'ha:{{is_state("binary_sensor.cio_in_1", "off")}}'

but it doesn't work (anyway: why? Template returns correct values: false when sensor state is on and true when off) I'm skipping requested information as not connected to my issue.
