Feature Request: Support for Boolean_Input (Helpers)

[tam481]

Hello I've got a few boolean helpers for home/away, day time/night time which I use in my automations. It would be great to be able to switch these on/off (true/false really) to trigger automations.

I hope that this is something you would consider adding if at all possible?

Thank you in advance

Can thy be turned on and off using homeassistant.turn_on and homeassistant.turn_off services?

Is the value of the state on and off?

If both questions are answered with yes, it‘ll be very easy. If not, it will be probably still be easy, but I’d need the correct services and states.

Would this work?

service: input_boolean.turn_off
metadata: {}
data: {}
target:
  entity_id: input_boolean.device_helper

I have also checked and it is possible to do with homeassistant.turn_on and homeassistant.turn_off

If you are using the home assistant addon, i'll just need one or two more days to setup a proper release flow. I'll add another comment, when this is released there.
