The ``homeassistant`` binary sensor platform allows you to create binary sensors that **import**
states from your Home Assistant instance using the :doc:`native API </components/api>`.
.. code-block:: yaml
# Example configuration entry
binary_sensor:
- platform: homeassistant
name: "Input Boolean From Home Assistant"
entity_id: input_boolean.state_home
With Home Assistant 2021.6 or newer, entity state attributes can also be imported.
.. code-block:: yaml
# Example configuration entry
binary_sensor:
- platform: homeassistant
id: muted
entity_id: media_player.mega_speakers
attribute: is_volume_muted
