Explained exceptionally well at every step and leaves nothing to be unsure about. Perfect example a good how to guide! Thanks for the time and effort you put into this!

For instance : - type: template entity: input_boolean.mail_arrived icon: | {% if is_state('input_boolean.mail_arrived', 'on') %} mdi:mailbox {% else %} mdi:mailbox-open-up-outline {% endif %} icon_color: |- {% if is_state('input_boolean.mail_arrived', 'on') %} yellow {% else %} grey {% endif %} hold_action: action: none double_tap_action: action: call-service service: input_boolean.toggle service_data: {} target: entity_id: input_boolean.mail_arrived tap_action: action: none

Great tutorial about templates and Mushroom Cards. Thank you! I just want to add add that you can avoid duplicating code in the Mushroom Template Card and make it more reusable. When you have allready assigned value to the Entity property in you card you can use it elsewhere, for example in definition of icon: instead of {{state_attr ('sensor.battery_status_kitchen', 'icon')}} you can write {{state_attr (entity, 'icon')}} Additionally, it makes the code easier to maintain and less error prone.

Thankyou for another wonderful adventure into Home Assistant. I figure you might be a bit of a mind reader as I was currently having fun in this area. For me I took a different approach to counting lights as I had a ZHA and Helpers groups for various lamps with multiple bulbs, which I wanted to count as a single light. So I created a 'List' and looped through it {% set lights_down = [states.light.bar_lamp,states.light.dining_dimmer] %}{{ lights_down | selectattr('state','eq','on') | list | count }}. This returns a count of 2 even though there are actually 3 lights. Then I ensured it was a Binary Sensor so I could test on On/Off with attribute of count (binary_sensor: !include binary_sensor.yaml).

Hi This was a great tutorial and I implemented it a year ago But recently I noticed that it was showing a wrong total. After a bit of searching, I found the cause I had installed 3 new Reolink cameras and it was picking up the camera infra-red lights entities and adding them to the total these are exposed by the Reolink integration. I just 'piped a -3' in the Mushroom card on the dashboard and fixed the problem as I considered that the counting was not wrong but the display was including 3 lights that were not really visible as lights.

Hi Ed! Again nice video's, please continue with the great work. I followed this video and was interested in the section: number of lights that were on. Have just two questions/problems to solve: 1. I tried to do this and added a line in configuration.yaml and created the sensors.yaml (and rebooted afterwards), but at the developer [status], i cannot find the entity with friendly name. (in your video around 19min.) Configuration.yaml (end of the file I wrote): sensor: !include sensors.yaml Sensors.yaml I wrote: #### Count number of lights on ############################### - platform: template sensors: number_lights_on: friendly_name: Aantal Lampen Aan value_template: >- {{ states.light | rejectattr('attributes.is_Axis_group', 'eq', true) | rejectattr('attributes.entity_id', 'defined') | selectattr('state', 'eq', 'on') | list | count }} icon_template: mdi:lightbulb-group 2. I have several Axis cam's and think he is also calculating the infrared lights. Do i have to make this line: | rejectattr('attributes.is_Axis_group', 'eq', true) --> or just fill in the brandname AXIS? I tried all, but when i have the IR of one of the Axis fixed on ON, it will still calculate it to the totals. How can i exclude those? Because the attributes Axis or similar doesn't seem to work. Hope you can advise me to this. Thanks and greetings. Richard

Hi. ! great job. A complex argument made easy. Anyway I've a question for you that I've posted on the HA forum but without any useful reply . I’ve an ESP32 device connected to HA via BLE. The ESP32 is in deep sleep for the most of the time and , perodically, say 3 secs every minute, it is awake. When it is awake it sends the value on a specific pin (say pin 34) tha can be low or high. I’d like that on the HA dashboard will be an “indicator” (a sort of LED) that when the value on the pin 34 is High will be ON and remain ON even when the ESP32 goes to deep sleep. The led must go from ON to OFF (and remain OFF) only when, in the next awake interval, the value on the ESP32 pin change from High to LOW. In other words, I need of a sort of memory that need an high, momentary, value to set ON (and remain ON) and a low, momentary pulse to set OFF (and remain OFF). Have you ever faced anything like ? Thanks in advance.

Ok, been using the "number of lights" template for a couple of months and have it on my dashboard. It's pretty cool. But now that I know that X number of lights are on, how can I get it to list which lights it found? That's what I want to know now!

This is really cool! is it also possible for 2 motion sensors to become one ? for instance it turns on when one or the other gets triggered and only turns of when both stop detecting motion

Hello, I've enjoyed your tutorial. I'm trying to build a template that gives me the answer to the following questions : Is there motion in the house and if so, where is the motion ? Any idea how this would look like ?

Interesting use case. I think it might be easier to use the auto-entities card from HACS to create this. I'd have to think about how to create a template sensor for this. 🤔

@@SmartHomeJunkie thank you for your quick reply. Another one, that comes to mind is related to door sensors and curtain switches. I'm now thinking in the direction of using NR to populate an input boolean and effectively the auto-entities card (which I never used)

Hoi Ed, bedankt voor deze geweldige uitleg over templates. Maar nu nog even een vraagje over de count template. Ik gebruik Wled met segmenten waarvan de segmenten aan staan en de master op uit. Dus mijn ledstrip is niet aan maar mijn segmenten worden wel geteld als zijnde on. Ben op zoek naar en oplossing maar vind deze niet.
@SmartHomeJunkie
2 жыл бұрын
Dat is een interessante case! Wellicht dat je de segmenten in een lightgroup kunt zetten en deze kunt includen in de template? De segmenten zou je dan moeten excluden. Het is maar een gok omdat ik zelf geen wled heb.

for those having issues with the icons not showing up in the custom:template-entity-row, there's a current bug in github repo of the template-entity-row custom card about icons not properly displaying after 2023.2.x update, checking the solution in the github issue might help. happy hacking!

Alweer een fijne video van je ! Die template-entity-row kende ik nog niet 👌 Een vraagje/opmerking : ik dacht begrepen te hebben dat het gebruik van sensor.yaml afgeraden wordt en je deze zaken nu in templates.yaml moet stoppen... ? Voordeel is alvast dat je de templates afzonderlijk kunt herladen zonder HA te moeten heropstarten.

Hello, I've tried and searched, but I can't count the number of lights that are on per area. The total number of lamps that go well. But per area, for example only in the kitchen, that doesn't work. Can I get some help on my way?

I do not have an answer right away and would have to investigate this. At first glance it seems difficult because the area is not stored in the entities.

Excellent! I have used it to derive the difference between two temperature sensors and tell my ceiling fan to turn on when the difference is greater than 5deg. For some reason the difference is sometimes reported to 6 decimal places though! How would I get it to display to just one decimal place? Thanks so much for your great videos. {{ states('sensor.inside_temperature')float - states('sensor.rm_pro_temperature')|float }}

Beste Smart Home Junkie, Heel hartelijk dank voor alle leerzame videos'. Ik krijg de lightcounter niet aan de praat en dat ligt denk ik met name aan het feit dat ik een conbee stick gebruik en geen deconz. Daardoor is de sensor niet goed. Als ik een deel van de sensor weghaal waarbij de "rejectattr' in staat werkt het wel alleen dan telt hij ook de groupen. Zou je mij een duwtje in de goede richting willen geven hoe dit op te lossen? Een voorbeeld van een van de groepen die ik gebruik is als volgt: light.dresden_elektronik_conbee_ii_bijkeuken_lampen_zha_group_0x0004 Bij voorbaat veel dank!!

I am having issues with adding a custom sensor into the sensors.yaml file. I already have a custom sensor but it's the old type "- platform: template" am I able to add a new sensor under this one but in the new method? "template: - sensor:" I am getting this error currently and wondering if you can help please? end of the stream or a document separator is expected
