Fix state display for binary_sensor entity with device_class

[sebr]

Since upgrading to HA 0.109, binary_sensor entities with a device_class have stopped showing the device specific state when used with multiple-entity row. Perhaps this is a result of the localization changes to lovelace.

In the following screenshot, you can see the same entity used in both multiple-entity-row as well as a standard entities card.

This change uses the same logic as compute_state_display.ts which is used with the core entity displays in Lovelace.

The logic in entityStateValue() is a fair bit more complicated than what is used in compute_state_display.ts - I've updated the code to be more consistent with it. This also now fixes the state value for other types of entities which support the device_class attribute, such as cover.

Fixes #73

Hello,
What solution do you suggest to work around this problem?

[sebr]

You can apply this patch directly to your downloaded version of the plugin @mycanaletto

Howto ? Or I wait the next release ...?

ping @benct - maybe you haven't seen this :)

Great stuff! I haven't had much time to look at any of my lovelace plugins lately, but I will try to do so as soon as I can.

The over-complicated entityStateValue() is already based entirely on compute_state_display.ts, but I see they have simplified it at some point after my shameless copy (you can see the similarity if you look at the history of their version) 😅

Sorry for the delay, will try to get a new release out today.
