Automation: Rename Off/On to Signal Active/Inactive or Signal Enabled/Disabled or Signal True/False

3 votes

Request to rename Off/On labels to something more descriptive, such as Signal Active/Inactive, Signal Enabled/Disabled, or Signal True/False, particularly on items like valves.

While this is technically just a label, every time I see “Off” it takes my brain a few extra seconds to process. My first interpretation is “the valve is off”, which isn’t actually what the signal represents. It’s a boolean signal state, not the physical device state.

This might just be my perspective, but I think the labels could be clearer and reduce potential confusion. Valves are just one example, but the same issue appears in other places throughout the system.

Possible naming alternatives:

Descriptors
Signal
Sensor
Status
State
Condition
Feedback
Control
Logic

Boolean states
Enabled / Disabled
Active / Inactive
Detected / Not Detected
Present / Absent
True / False
Set / Clear
Active / Clear
High / Low
Engaged / Disengaged
Triggered / Normal
