Is there any way to template the state?
The state is normally for the entity of the row but I would like to set the row to a different entity and have the state be the state for a different entity. This is so when I tap the row I get attributes displaying for a different entity…
example:
The 90% is the rssi for entity 1 but when I tap on coffee I would like it to display a different entity:
Instead of:
I suspect it’s not possible?
Could you give a code for this card?
As I understood:
Coffee is just text for the entity and the 90% RSSI state belongs to that. I want tapping on coffee to pull up the second entity more info which isn’t currently on that coffee line at all. Basically the different Tasmota entities for the sonoff switch (provided by the integration) make up the Coffee Line and I am writing a status command from MQTT to a Sensor which provides all the more info… so the rssi entity is the entity for the 90% but when I tap it I want it to show the status sensor instead of the RSSI graph.
So I’d likt to use a template to override the state with a state from a different entity… them more info would be the bit I want but the state would still be the RSSI…
Maybe I need to do a collapsed fold-entity-row for the second entity and then tap that to display the more info…
David, I am not a native English speaker and do not have a lot of experience of HA in part of MQTT & Tasmota. A code and a small picture would be more clear for me to help you.
What I could imagine:
What you may want is:
No, you can’t specify the state text on an entity row on a core entity row (outside the text row but I don’t think you want that), but you look to be using a custom row so perhaps ask that developer. The other option is to use browser_mod to specify that popup for this row.
I still do not understand the whole task.
Thanks Ian. I’ll take a look at that. I’m not using a custom-row BTW - just a standard entities card with your template card to modify the name. I am only having this problem now because I switched to using the Tasmota Integration as MQTT Discovery for HA seems to be deprecated now in Tasmota…
Don’t worry about it. Thanks for trying to help anyway. It’s probably a language barrier as it’s reasonably clear what I am trying to do and posting my entity config will only confuse you further.
OK!
So thanks to @iantrich for the idea, I ended up using custom:multiple-entity-row which lets me do pretty much what I wanted while also restoring the state card info for my Tasmota devices before I ‘upgraded’ to the Tasmota integration.
Here is what the old card looked like and also the code and what I saw when I clicked on the row…

I also started using named variables which wasn’t possible with the old card… but here is the genius of this approach…
If I click on say Coffee I get this:
even though I’m not showing the state it still shows in the state display…
But what if I click on MQTT? Well it brings up a different state card
This is WAY COOL and much better than I was hoping for!
Yes, this is a very convenient thing - but now we cannot use a "variable_x" to define a "variable_y" unfortunately - like we could use a "vars[x]" to define a "vars[y]" (Variables: use VARIABLE_1 to define VARIABLE_2 · Issue #47 · iantrich/config-template-card · GitHub). Sometimes it is needed…
For example, with using the old notation the code could be something like this:
variables:
- '''sonoff5_1''' #0
- '''sonoff5_2''' #1
- '''sonoff5_3''' #2
- '''_mqtt_connect_count''' #3
- '''_wifi_connect_count''' #4
- '''_rssi''' #5
- 'states["sensor." + vars[0] + vars[3]]' #6
- 'states["sensor." + vars[0] + vars[4]]' #7
- 'states["sensor." + vars[0] + vars[5]]' #8
- 'states["sensor." + vars[1] + vars[3]]' #9
- 'states["sensor." + vars[1] + vars[4]]' #10
- 'states["sensor." + vars[1] + vars[5]]' #11
- 'states["sensor." + vars[2] + vars[3]]' #12
- 'states["sensor." + vars[2] + vars[4]]' #13
- 'states["sensor." + vars[2] + vars[5]]' #14
entities:
- '${vars[6].entity_id}'
- '${vars[7].entity_id}'
- '${vars[8].entity_id}'
- '${vars[9].entity_id}'
- '${vars[10].entity_id}'
- '${vars[11].entity_id}'
- '${vars[12].entity_id}'
- '${vars[13].entity_id}'
- '${vars[14].entity_id}'
But anyway that is a lot of repeating code.
So it could be better to use a decluttering card:
decl_XXXXXXXXXXXXXX:
card:
type: 'custom:config-template-card'
variables:
- .............. [[SENSOR_XXXXXXXXXX]]
- .............. [[SENSOR_YYYYYYYYYY]]
- .............. [[SENSOR_ZZZZZZZZZZ]]
entities:
- '[[SENSOR_XXXXXXXXXX]]'
- '[[SENSOR_YYYYYYYYYY]]'
- '[[SENSOR_ZZZZZZZZZZ]]'
row:
type: 'custom:multiple-entity-row'
entity: '[[SENSOR_XXXXXXXXXX]]'
entities:
- entity: '[[SENSOR_YYYYYYYYYY]]'
....
- entity: '[[SENSOR_ZZZZZZZZZZ]]'
....
name: .....
unit: .....
icon: .....
toggle: false
show_state: .....
state_header: ''
secondary_info: last-changed
How to use:

- type: 'custom:decluttering-card'
template: decl_XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
variables:
- SENSOR_XXXXXXXXXX: ..............
- SENSOR_YYYYYYYYYY: ..............
- SENSOR_ZZZZZZZZZZ: ..............

Regarding multiple-entity-row - you may use kind of “styles: width: 150px” to prevent these misalignment:
Regarding using spaces:
'Coffee' + '\xa0'.repeat(16)
This will look nice only in case of using a font with fixed width; for proportional fonts it will cause a misalignment:
You may display these “Fair, Excellent etc” words in the "secondary-info" like it is described here (and even colourize it by card-mod like it is described here):
type: 'custom:config-template-card'
entities:
- sun.sun
card:
type: entities
entities:
- type: 'custom:multiple-entity-row'

Actually, I thought that you were already using this card - your first pic looks like multiple-entity-row…
No it’s just an entities card.
Yes one of the issues I had is exactly that but I can’t make them form up in columns so open to suggestions for that.
Where would I put that? I see that issue so a solution would be welcome… can you supply an edit of one of my rows to demonstrate that?
I dont see any issue with the new variables… never used the old ones anyway and it doesnt seem to reduce the number required or make it readable anyway. I’m don’t see a point in switching to a decluttering card for this…
Sorry to jump in, just to comment one thing.
Without the decluttering card you’re replicating the same “line code” for each “device”, that’s the redundancy.
If you use the decluttering card, you’ll create a template for the “line” and then you’ll use a variable to pass the device name, which will be applied to the whole line.
So, you’ll have a big decluttering-card “template” and a small “view” for each entry.
If you check @Ildar_Gabdullin code youìll see that the " decl_XXXXXXXXXXXXXX:" your normal card (with all static config which would remain the same across devices) and then the entities card in the view will only call that newrly created template and pass the sensors name you need for that.
I would highly suggest to give it a try, I started to use it and I have to say it makes things way clearer.
I will take a look at that. I remember thinking about it.
For displaying these “Excellent” etc words you may use 3 options:
"secondary-info" part (as I described above).
"config-template-card" - but this does not need it since the templating is implemented by card-mod:type: entities
entities:

Ok guys I’m officially annoyed of not making it work!! So, i Have a card like the one in the picture at the end. I would like to change the “Activity” with the name of the work out that comes from strava… How can this be done?
The last one i tried was the code below and i got the “no card or row or element defined”… Any help?
title: Strava
icon: mdi:heart-pulse
cards:
- type: "custom:config-template-card"
title: "${states('sensor.strava_0_0')}"
entities:
- type: attribute
entity: sensor.strava_0_0
attribute: friendly_name
name: Date
icon: mdi:calendar-clock
- entity: sensor.strava_0_1
name: Duration
“${states[‘sensor.strava_0_0’].state}”`
I have tried that as well but the problem as i said is that i get the “No card or row or element defined” error…
When looking at this:
title: Strava
icon: mdi:heart-pulse
cards:
I do not see any "type: " definition here.
But should i define the “custom:config-template-card” there? The other yaml files i have i’ve never set the type there… Also, I tried to put define the type there but no luck
The whole code is wrong.
If it should be Entities card inside the "config-template-card" then it must be kind of this:
type: 'custom:config-template-card'
entities:
- ..........
card:
type: entities
title: .....
entities:
- ....
With the code below i get “No card type defined”
title: Garmin
icon: mdi:heart-pulse
type: "custom:config-template-card"
entities:
- entity: sensor.strava_0_1
card:
- type: entities
title: "${states['sensor.strava_0_0'].state}"
entities:
- type: attribute
entity: sensor.strava_0_0
attribute: friendly_name
name: Date
icon: mdi:calendar-clock
- entity: sensor.strava_0_1
name: Duration```
