Copy Component

The copy component can be used to copy an existing component (like a sensor, switch, etc.) and create a duplicate mirroring the source’s state and forwarding actions such as turning on to the source.

For each of the supported platforms, the configuration consists of the required configuration variable source_id, which is used to indicate the source of the object being mirorred.

• source_id (Required, ID): The binary sensor that should be mirrored.
• All other options from Binary Sensor.

Copy Button
