Split HmIP-SWSD Smoke detector into binary sensors (by @ChristophCaina)

Purpose of this task

by default, smoke-detectors and similar security devices are binary sensors that only have an "on" and "off" state. The HmIP-SWSD is different, because it can provide different states - and therefore it will not be created as a binary sensor - and cannot use state_colors that have been added with HomeAssistant 2022.12.

The below Templates trying to solve that, by creating two binary_sensors. One for the Smoke-Detector - and one for an additional option, since the HmIP-SWSD can also be used as an alarm device for intrusion detection systems.

The "Alarm Type" that is used as sensor value will be moved to an Sensor-Attribute. But you can also use the sensor.......alarm_state directly to show the Alarm Type in your Dashboard

Please note, that the provided entity names needs to be replaced and should match your installation

#Smoke Detector Alarm
  - binary_sensor:
      - name: "Rauchwarnmelder Arbeitszimmer"
        unique_id: "rauchwarnmelder_arbeitszimmer"
        icon: >
          {% if states('sensor.rauchwarnmelder_arbeitszimmer_smoke_detector_alarm_status') in ['idle_off', 'intrusion_alarm'] %}
            mdi:smoke-detector-variant
          {% elif states('sensor.rauchwarnmelder_arbeitszimmer_smoke_detector_alarm_status') in ['primary_alarm','secondary_alarm'] %}
            mdi:smoke-detector-variant-alert
          {% endif %}
        device_class: smoke
        state: >
          {% if states('sensor.rauchwarnmelder_arbeitszimmer_smoke_detector_alarm_status') in ['idle_off', 'intrusion_alarm'] %}
            off
          {% elif states('sensor.rauchwarnmelder_arbeitszimmer_smoke_detector_alarm_status') in ['primary_alarm', 'secondary_alarm'] %}
            on
          {% endif %}
        availability: >
          {{ states('sensor.rauchwarnmelder_arbeitszimmer_smoke_detector_alarm_status') not in ['unknown', 'unavailable', 'None'] }}
        attributes:
          Device State: >
            {% if is_state('sensor.rauchwarnmelder_arbeitszimmer_smoke_detector_alarm_status', 'idle_off') %}
              Untätig
            {% elif is_state('sensor.rauchwarnmelder_arbeitszimmer_smoke_detector_alarm_status', 'primary_alarm') %}
              Primärer Alarm - Rauch erkannt!
            {% elif is_state('sensor.rauchwarnmelder_arbeitszimmer_smoke_detector_alarm_status', 'secondary_alarm') %}
              Sekundärer Alarm - durch anderen Rauchmelder ausgelöst
            {% endif %}

# Intrusion Alarm Device
  - binary_sensor:
      - name: "Einbruchsalarm Arbeitszimmer"
        unique_id: "intrusion_alarm_arbeitszimmer"
        icon: >
          {% if states('sensor.rauchwarnmelder_arbeitszimmer_smoke_detector_alarm_status') in ['idle_off', 'secondary_alarm', 'primary_alarm'] %}
            mdi:shield
          {% elif is_state('sensor.rauchwarnmelder_arbeitszimmer_smoke_detector_alarm_status', 'intrusion_alarm') %}
            mdi:shield-alert
          {% endif %}
        device_class: tamper
        state: >
          {% if states('sensor.rauchwarnmelder_arbeitszimmer_smoke_detector_alarm_status') in ['idle_off', 'secondary_alarm', 'primary_alarm'] %}
            off
          {% elif is_state('sensor.rauchwarnmelder_arbeitszimmer_smoke_detector_alarm_status', 'intrusion_alarm') %}
            on
          {% endif %}
        availability: >
          {{ states('sensor.rauchwarnmelder_arbeitszimmer_smoke_detector_alarm_status') not in ['unknown', 'unavailable', 'None'] }}
        attributes:
          Device State: >
            {% if is_state('sensor.rauchwarnmelder_arbeitszimmer_smoke_detector_alarm_status', 'idle_off') %}
              Untätig
            {% elif is_state('sensor.rauchwarnmelder_arbeitszimmer_smoke_detector_alarm_status', 'intrusion_alarm') %}
              Einbruch erkannt!
            {% endif %}

And here the new state colors can be seen:

1. default, device is idle:
   
   

2. Active primary alarm (device has detected smoke)
   
   

3. Active secondary alarm (another device has detected smoke and triggered the alarm on this device)
   
   

4. Active intrusion alarm (device is connected into the security options from homematic)
