Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nickustinov/itsyhome-macos/issues/64

I'd like to be able to toggle input booleans (a type of helper in Home Assistant) via the menu. It would be awesome to mod any helper field, but at a min input booleans are the core of my request. Alternatively, being able to trigger a script in Home Assistant via the menu would work as well (as I can have a script toggle the input boolean).

It seems that input booleans should be supported, so I am wondering if this is a bug or a feature request. Either way, I noticed the readme suggests input booleans should be supported already per this:

I've got a workaround for this: I set up an automation in Home Assistant which is triggered by a scene to toggle the input boolean. Not ideal, but it gets the job done. So, for me....this issue is less urgent as I have a means to get it done now by triggering the scene.

I've just come across this too. Couldn't work out what I was doing wrong since the docs say it should work!
