Intro:
*******
In this video, we will learn about how to integrate a Python script in Home Assistant to add a new service called "Set State" to force change the state of a sensor or an entity automatically from within an Automation or Script. This script is able to set any attribute like state, value, icon etc.
Scripts are placed in a python_scripts folder under the configuration directory. In my case it is /config/python_scripts/set_state.py. You then need to add the line python_script: in configuration.yaml and save it. Now to make it work, either restart Home Assistant or Reload PYTHON SCRIPTS under Yaml Configuration Reloading, in Developer Tools Section.

Manual Installation Hints:
Create config/python_scripts folder if you haven't already.
Copy set_state.py into the config/python_scripts folder.
Add python_script: to config/configuration.yaml if you haven't already.
Restart Home Assistant or Reload PYTHON SCRIPTS.

How to manually set state/value of sensor?
With this script in place, the example action could be:
action:
service: python_script.set_state
data_template:
entity_id: sensor.your_sensor_name
state: ON

Templates used in the video automation:
'{{ (states(''sensor.vindriktningbr_vindriktning_pm2_5'') != states(''sensor.dell_laptop_battery_level'')) }}'

'{{states(''sensor.vindriktningbr_vindriktning_pm2_5'')}}'

Here is an example of automations where the icon of sensor.garage_door is set based on changes in its state:

- alias: Garage Door Open
hide_entity: True
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: sensor.garage_door
to: 'Open'
action:
- service: python_script.set_state
data_template:
entity_id: sensor.garage_door
icon: mdi:garage-open

- alias: Garage Door Closed
hide_entity: True
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: sensor.garage_door
to: 'Closed'
action:
- service: python_script.set_state
data_template:
entity_id: sensor.garage_door
icon: mdi:garage
