I create a new type “Capabilities” bonary\_sensor.  
I would like to be able to add a flow to it which, after changing from true/false, can turn on or off another device.  
file: /.homeycompose/capabilities/binary\_sensor.json

```auto
{
  "type": "boolean",
  "title": { "en": "Binary Sensor" },
  "getable": true,
  "setable": false,
  "uiComponent": "sensor",
  "uiQuickAction": false,
  "icon": "/assets/input.svg"
}

```

file: driver.flow.compose.json

```auto
{
  "triggers": [
    {
      "id": "binary_sensor_true",
      "title": {
        "en": "Binary sensor is true"
      },
      "tokens": [
        {
          "name": "sensor_state",
          "type": "boolean",
          "title": {
            "en": "State"
          },
          "example": {
            "en": "true"
          }
        }
      ],
      "arguments": [
        {
          "name": "device",
          "type": "device",
          "filter": "capabilities=binary_sensor"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "id": "binary_sensor_false",
      "title": {
        "en": "Binary sensor is false"
      },
      "tokens": [
        {
          "name": "sensor_state",
          "type": "boolean",
          "title": {
            "en": "State"
          },
          "example": {
            "en": "false"
          }
        }
      ],
      "arguments": [
        {
          "name": "device",
          "type": "device",
          "filter": "capabilities=binary_sensor"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

```

Not working.

Not enough.  
Adding an error message might help to get a response 🤷‍♂️

- Show the flow
- Share your app code

The amount of information you provide is not enough.
