in this particular case: do you need the browser_mod light entities in the first place? if not you can prevent the creation of them using
disable:
- light
in the browser_mod configuration
Hi,
is there a way of mapping filtered entities to cards instead of entities. For instance if youād like to auto populate a horizontalt-stack?
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: horizontal-stack
[....]
Hello everyone,
First of all, thanks for this cool feature! 
I have many zones and want to know how long I have been in this zone for the intervals month, week and day. For this I have calculated the values with history stats.
I want to use auto-entities with multiple-entity row. The main reason I want to use auto-entities is the sorting function, which multiple-entity-row does not have.
Now instead of creating multiple cards in my lovelace dashboard for each of the time intervals I thought I could use multiple-entity row, but for my solution I need the following things:
- Replace the name of the entity because the name of the sensor is āStatistic Zone ZONENAME Monthā and I want to see only ZONENAME in the card.
- Replace ID of entity for multiple entity line because I want to see the other intervalls of the zone statistics.
I have pseudo-coded my request below. I hope you understand what I mean and that my request is possible.
type: 'custom:auto-entities'
show_empty: false
card:
type: entities
title: Zones
filter:
include:
- entity_id: sensor.statistic_zone*_month
options:
type: 'custom:multiple-entity-row'
name: {{ this.entity_name|replace("Statistic Zone ", "")|replace(" month", "") }}
state_header: Month
entities:
- entity: {{ this.entity_id|replace("month", "day") }}
name: Day
- entity: {{ this.entity_id|replace("month", "week") }}
name: Week
sort:
method: state
reverse: true
numeric: true
The result should look something like this:
Can you please help me?
I cannot understand why I have duplicates in my auto-entities list in case of using card-mod.
Here is a small example:
- Without card-mod:
Here we have a list ofsensor.battery_*entities, and two of them are placed on the top of the list (i.e. āstatic elementsā):
type: 'custom:auto-entities'
card:
type: entities
title: example
entities:
- type: section
label: static elements
- entity: sensor.battery_cleargrass_2
- entity: sensor.battery_life360_papa
- type: section
label: auto elements
unique: true
show_empty: true
filter:
include:
- domain: sensor
entity_id: sensor.battery_*
options:
secondary_info: last-changed
sort:
method: state
reverse: false
ignore_case: false
attribute: null
first: 0
count: 1000
numeric: true
- Now letās apply
styleto the 1st static element:
type: 'custom:auto-entities'
card:
type: entities
title: example
entities:
- type: section
label: static elements
- entity: sensor.battery_cleargrass_2
style: |
:host {
color: red;
}
- entity: sensor.battery_life360_papa
- type: section
label: auto elements
unique: true
show_empty: true
filter:
include:
- domain: sensor
entity_id: sensor.battery_*
options:
secondary_info: last-changed
sort:
method: state
reverse: false
ignore_case: false
attribute: null
first: 0
count: 1000
numeric: true
Great, the style works fine!
But now we have a duplicate:
Is it a bug?
Guys Iād really appreciate some help. Iām new to this so please excuse any stupidity on my part!
Iām unable to get any card working with Auto-entities. Iām running HassOS 4.16.
I followed instructions to download raw file to my config\www folder and have installed in resources tab.
I then try to add a card, either a manual card or using a pre-defined one but as soon as I add custom:auto-entities I get the following error.
If I try to add a resources section via the raw configuration editor Iām given a message that this shouldnāt be here any longer and should be in the configuration panel.
Very confusing, any help appreciated.
Edit: Sorted - was issue in both Edge & Safari, windows & iOS but switching to chrome fixed it
In the previous release on GitHub it was noticed for ātemplatesā that if a state of some processed entity changes then it will not affect the presence/absense of the entity in the list.
Now for the current release this note was excluded.
Does that mean that currently the ātemplateā feature will reflect all entitiesā changes?
I am using the layout-card with auto-entities as suggested and it is working mostly great. The one thing Iām trying to do is get a title for the group of cards.
In the example below, I am showing buttons for all light groups that are āonā, Iād like to have a title appear above all of the buttons that says āTurn Offā. Is that possible?
type: 'custom:auto-entities'
show_empty: false
card:
type: 'custom:layout-card'
title: Turn Off
column_num: 2
filter:
include:
- entity_id: group.*lights*
options:
type: 'custom:button-card'
exclude:
- state: 'off'
look at device class

Iām trying to get 1 individual mini-graph for each CO2 sensor i have using auto-entities but receive error
this is my code

Is it even possible and if so anyone knows whats wrong with the code ?
error i get in the card is āCannot read property ālengthā of undefinedā
It does not appear formatted correctly.

Thanks for your example
My bad my simplified question was not well thought off, Infact I have a details page for each room will all sensors for that room. I want to show the environment sensors for each room dynamicly ā¦ some room only have temperature, other have CO2 and humidity and others have even moreā¦ I donāt want them in the same ācustom:mini-graph-cardā as the units are diffrent per sensor. For all other elements on page i use the auto-entities successfullyā¦ the pages themselves are generated by a sh script.
To support this i added a room attribute to all environment sensors. the detailed pages are generated by a .sh so i can mass update them easierā¦
sorry if I missed it in the above, but can we sort on state, and within that, on last changed? or does the state filter already do that by default (doesnt seem that way tbh)
- type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: entities
title: Bluetooth devices
show_empty: false
filter:
include:
- entity_id: device_tracker.*_bt
sort:
method: state
needs to sort the trackers by state on/off, and when change occurs, list that as the top tracker.
using this https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities#sorting-entities but doesnāt sort on state at all right now, so I am somewhat confusedā¦
editā¦ sorry about that.
Look at above example: your sort is indented to far, it is not a sub of include it a sub of cards directly.
No, its indented ok now, and sorts on state alright. Only thing wanted is the last-changed ordering
Hello, I could need some help with this.
I try to toggle between to cards to either show battery level for all battery entities, and a card that only shows those with level below 25 %.
The auto-entities cards work fine as they are, as long as they not part of the state-switch card. But as sone as I make them a part of a state-switch card it returns an error says: No card type configured.
This is the card that gives the error:
- type: vertical-stack
cards:
- type: entities
entities:
- entity: input_boolean.low_battery
title: Battery level
show_header_toggle: false
- type: 'custom:state-switch'
entity: input_boolean.low_battery
states:
"on":
- type: 'custom:auto-entities'
card:
type: entities
filter:
include:
- entity_id: "*battery*"
state: "< 25"
sort:
method: state
"off":
- type: 'custom:auto-entities'
card:
type: entities
filter:
include:
- entity_id: "*battery*"
sort:
method: state
This is the code iām trying using a grid
- type: custom:auto-entities
show_empty: false
card:

I made the same mistake.
You need to exclude >25.

exclude:

another:
type: 'custom:auto-entities'

card:

Sorry, but it did not make much difference using exclude ā>25ā instead of using include ā<25ā.
From my point of view, it looks like the problem comes when I use the combination of the āauto-entitiesā and the āstate-switchā cards.
Using auto-entities together with the standard āconditionā card works ok. I will use that one instead.
Hello sylviepipi,
mini-graph-card needs entities. auto-entities (with card_param: cards) creates an entitiy.
Here is a workaround:
...
filter:
include:
- entity_id: "*device_temp"
options:
type: custom:mini-graph-card
entity:
entities:
- this.entity_id

Thanks Minzel for the example, works like a charm
