#Blueprint accepts binary, how to trigger with presence sensor?

I added this blueprint https://community.home-assistant.io/t/sensor-light-motion-sensor-door-sensor-sun-elevation-lux-value-scenes-time-light-control-device-tracker-night-lights/481048/1 which asks for trigger by binary sensors. However, mine is a presense sensor. In z2m, it reports Presence as True/False

but in HA, it lets me choose 'Show as Motion/Occupancy/Presence/etc. None of them are binary on/off. I believe this is why it doesn't trigger the automation. How can I make it work in this case? Should I make a template binary sensor? Sounds overkill. Or should I find another blueprint?

The sensor IS binary though. So I don't quite understand
