Any feedback/help please?
There must be something stupid I am doing that stop all the rest of the static text to be showed.
Did you try states['binary_sensor.andrea_oneplus5_charging'].state === true ? 'Charging' : 'Not Charging' ?
Yes, by itself it does work (and yes, I changed true to on) 
If it is working by itself, the template should be fine. With variables now possible, I would try putting in variables.
Current status:
secondary_info: "${'OnePlus 5 Battery: ' + states['sensor.andrea_oneplus5_battery'].state + '%' + states['binary_sensor.andrea_oneplus5_charging'].state === 'on' ? ' - Charging' : ''}"
Result in:
While this:
secondary_info: "${states['binary_sensor.andrea_oneplus5_charging'].state === 'on' ? 'Charging' : ''}"
Correctly return:
You mean put the text in a variable?
What if you just try secondary_info: "${states['binary_sensor.andrea_oneplus5_charging'].state === 'on' ? 'Charging' : 'Not Charging'}"?
Ehm, itâs my second example, which works correctly 
Here is a other example i wanted to do that since a while, make the opacity of the lights on my 3D floor plan follow my real lights. thanks for that card!!!
Here is a little video demonstration:
https://youtu.be/qj2n5xoRNT0
The code is taken from the Lovelace editor
- type: 'custom:config-template-card'
config:
type: 'custom:card-modder'
card:
type: 'custom:hui-picture-elements-card'
image: /local/floorplan.png
elements:
- entity: light.kitchen
image: /local/fp_kitchen_off.png
style:
left: 66.9%
top: 26.7%
width: 17.88%
state_filter:
'off': opacity(0%)
'on': >-
${"opacity(" + (states['light.kitchen'].attributes.brightness /
2.55) + "%)"}
tap_action:
action: toggle
type: image

Awesome!
Iâm going to plan on adding updates only on attribute changes in the future as well which should improve performance for anyone using attributes
EDIT: Wait, Iâm already checking the full state object for the entityâŚnevermind Just restricting by entities will work

Try this
secondary_info: "${'OnePlus 5 Battery: ' + states['sensor.andrea_oneplus5_battery'].state + '%' + (states['binary_sensor.andrea_oneplus5_charging'].state === 'on' ? ' - Charging' : '')}"
I believe the eval didnât like your ternary not being wrapped. I tested it here and is probably a good place to test your logic quickly:

Hi @iantrich, I tried your code but it actually returns a new error:
while parsing a block mapping in â/home/ha/.homeassistant/lovelace/views/test.yamlâ, line 28, column 23 expected <block end>, but found â<block mapping start>â in â/home/ha/.homeassistant/lovelace/views/test.yamlâ, line 32, column 24
I also tried to check the JS Bin site you posted but I am not sure how am I supposed to use it because also when I add the code you suggested it return an error
"SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token
Share you new config
You canât just copy that line into jsbin, if you see what I defined for states, it doesnât match yourâs exactly. You also need to not include the ${} as I strip those out in my code before running eval

Oh I am sorry!
I didnât realize that the link was pointing to a pre-coded page, I tought the code was just example and I pasted the code in there , my bad!
Regarding the YAML error in HA I added an unnecessary additonal white space at the beginning, now it works!!!
Thank you so much!

Breaking Change: Looking great, care to share your config of the card?
Sure thing, here it is:
- type: custom:config-template-card
config:
type: custom:hui-entities-card
title: House Members
show_header_toggle: false
entities:
- entity: person.andrea
type: "custom:secondaryinfo-entity-row"
secondary_info: "${'OnePlus 5 Battery: ' + states['sensor.andrea_oneplus5_battery'].state + '%' + (states['binary_sensor.andrea_oneplus5_charging'].state === 'on' ? ' - Charging' : '')}"
I tried variables:
card:
type: 'custom:hui-entities-card'
title: MQTT & Wifi Connections
show_header_toggle: false
variables:
- states['sensor.sonoff1_2914_status'].attributes['MqttCount']
- states['sensor.sonoff1_2914_status'].attributes['WiFi LinkCount']
entities:
- entity: sensor.sonoff1_2914_status
name: "${'Coffee' + '\xa0'.repeat(16) + 'MQTT ' + vars[0] + '\xa0'.repeat(4) + 'WiFi ' + vars[1]}"
But it shows unknown⌠did I do something wrong?
Also trying this:
- entity: sensor.sonoff1_2914_status
name: "${'Coffee' + '\xa0'.repeat(16) + 'MQTT ' + states['sensor.sonoff1_2914_status'].attributes['MqttCount'] + '\xa0'.repeat(4) + 'WiFi ' + states['sensor.sonoff1_2914_status'].attributes['WiFi LinkCount'] + states['sensor.sonoff1_2914_status'] >= 100 ? 'Excellent' : states['sensor.sonoff1_2914_status'] > 80 ? 'Good' : states['sensor.sonoff1_2914_status'] > 60 ? 'Fair' : 'Weak'}"
To append information about the WiFi RSSI strength⌠Excellent, Good, Fair or Weak to the end⌠but doesnât seem to like that either
Any ideas?
I got my variables: option before the config:/card: line of custom:config-template-card.

Ah that will be it for the error⌠but why isnât my conditional info showing?
- entity: sensor.sonoff1_2914_status
name: "${'Coffee' + '\xa0'.repeat(16) + 'MQTT ' + states['sensor.sonoff1_2914_status'].attributes['MqttCount'] + '\xa0'.repeat(4) + 'WiFi ' + states['sensor.sonoff1_2914_status'].attributes['WiFi LinkCount'] + states['sensor.sonoff1_2914_status'] >= 100 ? 'Excellent' : states['sensor.sonoff1_2914_status'] > 80 ? 'Good' : states['sensor.sonoff1_2914_status'] > 60 ? 'Fair' : 'Weak'}"
states[âsensor.sonoff1_2914_statusâ] probably is not giving you a number, maybe parseFloat(states[âsensor.sonoff1_2914_statusâ].state) ?
