Sorry, why not using multiple filters?
Well, to write less code and adhere to DRY
filter:
include:
- state: "unavailable"
domain: switch
attributes:
device_class: outlet
- domain: switch
state: "unavailable"
attributes:
device_class: outlet
Would become
filter:
include:
- state:
- "unavailable"
- "on"
domain: switch
attributes:
device_class: outlet
If a list was allowed for the state for example (I know I talked about entity_ids, but the same principle would apply there)
Maybe there is a way to achieve this already with regex or something. I’m still quite new to this addon 
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: entities
filter:
include:
- domain: sensor
state: /unavailable|unknown/
Ah, thanks, that solved it! 
I take my original question back 
is there a way to show the attributes of an entity see below. I want to create auto entities of a device’s attributes?
legend! Thank you!
I’m asking you for help. I have sensors called sensor.xxx_rssi and I wanted them to turn on the switch of the same name with the ending _restart (switch.xxx_restart) when pressed (tap_action). Is it feasible?

This card seems to solve very elegantly the use cases of auto “selecting” entities to display.
The one enhancement (and I admit it isn’t completely trivial) is to allow more powerful ways to use the collected entities to generate other cards.
Currently the card will take a single card name and populate its entities attribute.
Ideally, we could also provide something like a “grid” card type and then a grid_cell card which will then be instantiated once for each of the entities found.
e.g.
card: "grid"
grid_cell_card: "custom:button"
grid_cell_card_options:
... attributes you can set supported by the grid_cell_card
To keep things simple, these options should be a direct pass-through so that this addon has only minimal coupling with any other addons. The only coupling will be with the native “grid” card.
This will be incredibly powerful and fill in a pretty serious deficiency in the core HA frontend and will further massively reduce duplication of card boilerplate.
The auto-entities card already can fill the Grid card with other cards.

but do those cards need to support entities or it knows if they support entity to just pass one at a time?
sorry i’m sure i’m missing something - can you give me a very simple example of auto-entities card filling a grid with e.g. custom-buttons?
It was posted here, search for “grid”

apologies, and thank you!!
I use
sort:

attribute: sort-date
reverse: false

|---|---|
| papier | 20231113 |
| pdm | 20231023 |

but it should be

I want the first coming first. What am I doing wrong ?
Hi everyone,
I would like to sort this by last_changed. But since I am pulling my entities from a group, I feel like I need to do a sort at the time of expand or when defining ‘activity’ ( which I could probably figure out). The problem is I am pulling the last_changed data from a separate sensor attribute I use to save that data to prevent losing the last_changed on reboot. I think I may be a little out of my depth here. 
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: entities
title: Human Activity
filter:
template: >-
{% set activities = expand(states.binary_sensor.kitchen_occupancy_group.attributes.entity_id) -%}
{%- for activity in activities -%}
{%- set last_changed = state_attr('sensor.last_changed_history', 'changes')[activity.entity_id] | as_datetime -%}
{{
{
'type': 'custom:template-entity-row',
'entity': activity.entity_id,
'name': activity.attributes.friendly_name.split('Kitchen Human Activity')[1],
'state': 'Clear' if activity.state == 'off' else 'Detected',
'color': 'red' if activity.state == 'on' else '',
'secondary': (relative_time(last_changed), ' ago'),
}
}},
{%- endfor -%}

Is it possible to create a weblink?
Hi all,
I’m restarting with HA after a while and struggling with browser mod popupcard using auto entities.
I tried a lot and searched the who forum, but I’m not able to combine the following in the correct way.
Aim: I want a button card showing the current number of lights on.
When clicking on the button, a popup should appear and show the lights which are on.
Can someone help me to get this code working?
Many thanks in advance!
type: custom:button-card
entity: sensor.lights_on_count
show_name: false
show_state: true
layout: icon_state
aspect_ratio: 2/1
styles:
grid:
- grid-template-areas: '"x1 s i x2"'
- grid-template-columns: 1fr min-content 22px 1fr
- grid-template-rows: 1fr
state:
- font-size: 1.0em
- padding-right: 10px
icon:
- width: 100%
tap_action:
action: fire-dom-event
browser_mod:
service: browser_mod.popup
deviceID: this
data:
title: Lights on
card:
type: custom:auto-entities
card: null
entities:
show_header_toggle: false
state_color: false
filter:
template: |
{% for thing in states %}
{% if thing.state == "on" and thing.domain == "light" %}
{{ thing.entity_id}}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
sort:
method: friendly_name
show_empty: false
Only the popup with title appears but nothing else.
also, your spacing seems off on show_header_toggle
this was only a mistake when copy the code in here. I don’t get error messages in the card configuration.
