Doc, Buttons and Switches vs SwitchText command and more

[BlissCA]

In the following doc:
https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Buttons-and-Switches/#setoption114
https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Buttons-and-Switches/#switchmode-15

SwitchText command is not mentionned and I found out about this command by chance after many hours...
(However, StateText command is mentionned in this section)

Also, it would be great under SetOption114 or SwitchMode15 section , to tell that with the use of SetOption114 1 and SetOption(x) 15, and SwitchText, the Tasmota Integration in HA will automatically create a binary sensor based on SwitchText.

For Exemple:
SetOption114 1 (Detach switch from its corresponding relay)
SwitchMode1 15 (sends MQTT messages tele/%topic%/SENSOR ...)
SwitchText1 GarageDoorStatus

This will Publish tele/%topic%/SENSOR {"Time":"2022-07-15T23:32:26","GarageDoorStatus":"OFF"}
(Or "ON") everytime the switch changes state or every 5 minutes.

If you have for exemple a device "GarageDoor" in HA (switch.garagedoor), it will create automatically without the use of rules, the entity binary_sensor.garagedoorstatus attach to this device.

That would be nice to add in the doc, the switchtext command and HA binary_sensor auto creation when both SO1114 and SwitchMode15 are used...

Thank you.

I found a little mention of binary_sensor creation upon the use of setoption114 in the HA section.
https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Home-Assistant/

But it is not detailed as what SwitchMode does what when SO114 is 1.

The docs, as the code, is open source so you are welcome to add that to the HA documentation page.

Thanks,

Unfortunately, I have no clues (yet) how to achieve that... I'm just an end user :-)

Never managed to to figure out yet how this github thing is working... forking, pull req etc...

However, I just noticed the dimmed pencil on the top right of a doc page... I guess it starts from there ... :-)

Ok so I just tried my first Fork/Pull Request... :-)
Thanks...
