## Component: binary_sensor ## Component: binary_sensor
Binary sensors can be added to the configuration for handling touch/release events
for the front panel. On touch, a binary_sensor will publish `True`, on release it
will publish `False`. The configuration of a binary_sensor determines what part
or parts of the front panel are involved in the touch events.
```yaml
binary_sensor:
- platform: xiaomi_bslamp2
part: POWER_BUTTON
on_press:
then:
- light.toggle: my_bedside_lamp
```
For specifying specific parts of the front panel in the upcoming configuration variables,
the following identifiers are available:
* POWER_BUTTON (or its alias: POWER)
* COLOR_BUTTON (or its alias: COLOR)
* SLIDER
### Configuration variables:
* **name** (*Optional*, string): The name of the binary sensor. Setting a name will expose the
binary sensor as an entity in Home Assistant. If you do not need this, you can omit the name.
* **id** (*Optional*, ID): Manually specify the ID used for code generation. By providing an id,
you can reference the binary_sensor from automation rules (e.g. to retrieve the current state
of the binary_sensor).
* **part** (*Optional*, part identifier): This specifies what part of the front panel the binary sensor must
look at. Valid options are: "any" (the default) or one of the abovementioned part identifiers.
* All other options from [Binary Sensor](https://esphome.io/components/binary_sensor/index.html#config-binary-sensor).
