Seems to work:
seems to have been some caching issue or so. Didn’t change anything. Works now. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for investigating.
Anyone know how to filter out entities/devices not assigned to an area? I know how to filter by devices assigned to an area but am looking for the opposite. Overall, I am trying to only show a list of switches assigned to an area ie if a switch has not been assigned an area it won’t show in the auto entities list.
I know a work around could be to include switch domain and include every area but this just feels like a lot of work when there should be exclude: null
Have two lists? One with all entities and one with those in areas … and remove the items from the later list from the former list.
type: custom:auto-entities
show_empty: false
card:
type: entities
filter:
template: >-
{% set ns = namespace(entity_and_area=[]) -%}
{%- for entity in states.device_tracker -%}
{%- set entity_id = entity.entity_id -%}
{%- set area = area_name(entity.entity_id) -%}
{%- set entity_and_area = ({'entity_id':entity_id,'area':area}) -%}
{%- set ns.entity_and_area = ns.entity_and_area + [entity_and_area] -%}
{%- endfor -%}
{%- set sorted_list = (ns.entity_and_area) | rejectattr('area','eq',none) | sort(attribute='area') -%}
{{ sorted_list | map(attribute='entity_id') | list }}
Here we have a list of “device_tracker” entities (except not assigned to any area) sorted by area.
Will post a list of useful posts (just in case):
passing options into a conventional entity row:
– hide a name
– show an attribute
select entities dependently on their attributes
card-mod:
– general schema
– conditional card_mod
– glance + card_mod
– card-mod in a template: one, two, three
graphs in a stack:
– history-graph
– mini-graph-card
– mini-graph-card + template
defining a number of found elements
how to list entities in 2 columns
how to define Markdown cards in auto-entities
areas:
– sort entities by area
– a card with entities filtered by some area
– list of “area” cards
– show an Area card for one area_name
– list of entities except ones not assigned to any area
a possible way to easily define templates for cards
how to show an alternative card if a filter gives an empty list

@Ildar_Gabdullin thank you, I will give that a go, and thank you for the other links. Interesting reading

is it somehow possible to output an attribute as the value instead of the state?
type: custom:auto-entities
show_empty: false
card:
type: entities
state_color: true
show_header_toggle: false
Read 2 posts above.
uups, sorry! But is it also possible to use an attribute instead of friendly_name on the left side? Or alternatively, to create a sensor whose friendly_name is created via a template?
Probably possible by using a “template” option based on examples in the thread.
Where could a template be inserted? Under options? I mean:
options:
name:
...
OK, I modified the sensor - it’s possible to template the friendly_name:
friendly_name: "Test {{ states('sensor.klimasensor_1_humidity') | float(default=0) }}"
Hi, I had this code working before and I liked how it looked in the UI:
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: vertical-stack
card_param: cards
filter:
include:
- entity_id: light.*
state: 'on'
options:
type: custom:mushroom-update-card
entities:
- this.entity_id
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: homeassistant.turn_off
service_data:
entity_id: this.entity_id
Now I have a template that obtain all the lights and switches that I want to display. But I have lost the ability to display these “lights” with a mushroom card.
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: entities
filter:
template: >-
{{ expand('group.Lights_House') | selectattr('state','eq','on') |
map(attribute='entity_id') | list }}
Any ideas on how to make it look better (maybe like before) using the template in filter?
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: grid
title: Group
card_param: cards
filter:
include:
- group: group.Lights_House
state: 'on'
options:
type: custom:mushroom-entity-card
primary_info: state
secondary_info: name
layout: vertical
Thank you for your answer. That does not work for me. I assume is because of group.Lights_House is a group that contains other groups
In this case use a for loop:
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: grid
columns: 5
square: false
title: Template
card_param: cards
filter:
template: |-
{% for x in expand('group.Lights_House') | selectattr('state','eq','on') %}
{{- {
'type': 'custom:mushroom-entity-card',
'entity': x.entity_id,
'primary_info': 'state',
'secondary_info': 'name',
'vertical': true }
-}},{%- endfor -%}
Great, they are now visible. But is there any way to keep the tap_action ?
Sure:
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: grid
columns: 3
square: false
title: Template
card_param: cards
filter:
template: |-
{% for x in expand('group.Lights_House') | selectattr('state','eq','on') %}
{{-
{
'type': 'custom:mushroom-entity-card',
'entity': x.entity_id,
'primary_info': 'state',
'secondary_info': 'name',
'vertical': true,
'tap_action': {
'action': 'call-service',
'service': 'homeassistant.turn_off',
'target': { 'entity_id': x.entity_id }
}
}
-}},{%- endfor -%}
It worked great! I don’t know how you can do all this! I understand the script, but man … you are a genius!
