Help reading a binary sensor from an input boolean

[daring garden]

I set up a helper > template > binary sensor and i want it to get its state from a helper > template > input boolean

I set the binary sensor with this State template
"{{ is_state('input_boolean.kitchen_presence_override_underlying', 'on') }}"

This seems simple enough but i toggle the input boolean and nothing happens on the binary sensor...

Please advise.

try this instead.

{{ states('input_boolean.kitchen_presence_override_underlying') == 'on' }}
