How to define Markdown cards in auto-entities
If a markdown card is used to show a static content:
- type: custom:auto-entities
card_param: cards
card:
type: vertical-stack
filter:
include:
- entity_id: input_boolean.test_boolean_* ### define your own mask
options:
type: conditional
conditions:
- entity: this.entity_id
state_not: 'off'
card:
type: markdown
content: some content
Note: to make the task a bit more complex, a Conditional card is used here ))).
Same when the content is dynamic (i.e. some jinja templates used) & does NOT depend of the currently processing entity_id:
...
card:
type: markdown
content: >-
{{ .... }}
or when the processed entity_id is NOT a part of a template:
...
card:
type: markdown
content: >-
{{ ... }}
xxx: this.entity_id
{{ ... }}
The problem is that that this.entity_id variable is not resolved inside these templates.
If your templates DO depend on the currently processed entity_id (as you have in your case) - then you need to use the template option:
- type: custom:auto-entities
card_param: cards
card:
type: vertical-stack
filter:
template: >-
{% for entity in states.input_boolean|selectattr('entity_id','search','input_boolean.test_boolean_') -%}
{%- if (entity.entity_id.split('test_boolean_')[1])|int(0) > 4 -%}
{%- set CONTENT = 'xx: ' + entity.entity_id -%}
{%- else -%}
{%- set CONTENT = 'yy: ' + entity.entity_id -%}
{%- endif -%}
{{
{
'type': 'conditional',
'conditions': [
{
'entity': entity.entity_id,
'state_not': 'off'
}
],
'card': {
'type': 'markdown',
'content': CONTENT
}
}
}},
{%- endfor %}
That part simulates a dynamically defined content:
{%- if .... -%}
{%- set CONTENT = ... -%}
{%- else -%}
{%- set CONTENT = ... -%}
{%- endif -%}
