I've run across threads discussing reversing the interpretation of a contact sensor but I don't think I've seen an explicit request to add that as an option in the built-in drivers. I believe there are some Custom Drivers that allow this.
I can't be the only one that's ever ended up with a magnet/sensor mounting configuration (or remote wiring of a secondary contact) that reports OPEN (as it should per the electronics) when in actuality the physical door/window/hatch/pressure-sw is CLOSED due to the way the contact is being used.
To date I handle the logic within the rule...but yeah, it's confusing when someone looks at the Device's page. I can live with this if it really is a "one off" use case....but I can't believe other's haven't ended up wishing they could flip the interpretation of the state.
Having gone down the Mirroring path suggested ...I gotta say I'm still wishing I could of just changed the state interpretation of Open to Closed, and Closed to Open right in the Driver.
It's would offer less complexity & confusion when you start using this flipped state everywhere.
So I hope it's doable and on your long term To Do List.
Yeah, even using the Mirror App I'm going through correcting some mistaken misinterpretations with a new rule I had just set up yesterday that isn't behaving as it should this evening.
