Only the last "state" works.
Try kind of this:
filter:
include:
- entity_id: "*nest*"
or:
state: "unavailable"
state: "Warning"
state: "grey"
...

Thank you! That got me on the right track! It turns out that the correct syntax ends up being:
- type: custom:auto-entities
show_empty: false
card:
type: entities
title: Devices Reporting Problems
show_header_toggle: false
filter:
include:
- entity_id: "*nest*"
or:
- state: "unavailable"
- state: "Warning"
- state: "grey"
- state: "yellow"
- state: "off"
- state: "dead"
- state: "disconnected"
- state: "warning"
- state: "critical"
- state: "failing"
- state: "access error"
- state: "Replace"
show_empty: false

@thomasloven The following works.
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: entities
filter:
include:
- type: custom:fold-entity-row
head: binary_sensor.system_ready
entities:
- input_boolean.allow_automation_execution
- sensor.hx711_custom
- sensor.mba_humidity
- sensor.mba_temperature
- entity_id: sensor.pen*
exclude: []
sort:
method: none
But is it possible to use wildcards inside the folded row by changing:
- sensor.mba_humidity
- sensor.mba_temperature
to
- sensor.mba_*
Need help with a template.
Here is an auto-entities list of "device_tracker" entities with "card_mod":
- type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: entities
title: fixed color
filter:
template: |
{% for DEVICE in states.device_tracker -%}
{%- if is_state_attr(DEVICE.entity_id,"source_type","router") -%}
{{
{
'entity': DEVICE.entity_id,
'card_mod':
{
'style':
':host {
--paper-item-icon-color: red;
}'
}
}
}},
{%- endif -%}
{%- endfor %}
sort:
count: 7
Now letās try to create a conditional color, something like this:
:host {
--paper-item-icon-color:
{% if ... %}
brown;
{% elif ... %}
red;
{% else %}
green;
{% endif %}
}
This "if ... else ..." code cannot be used inside a "{{ ... }}" template.
So letās define the color outside the "{{ ... }}" template.
First, letās use some fixed color defined by using "set".
- type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: entities
title: conditional color
filter:
template: |
{% for DEVICE in states.device_tracker -%}
{%- set COLOR = 'red' -%}
{%- if is_state_attr(DEVICE.entity_id,"source_type","router") -%}
{{
{
'entity': DEVICE.entity_id,
'card_mod':
{
'style':
':host {
--paper-item-icon-color: COLOR;
}'
}
}
}},
{%- endif -%}
{%- endfor %}
sort:
count: 7
Does not work. Letās check in in the āTemplatesā window:
{'entity': 'device_tracker.00_17_5a_23_94_49', 'card_mod': {'style': ':host {\n --paper-item-icon-color: COLOR;\n }'}},
......
Seems that the "COLOR" variable is not recognized as a variable - it is recognized as a string āCOLORā - probably because of using '.
The question - how to pass this "COLOR" value inside the template as a variable?
This code works - for the "name" property (here I do not need to use the '):
{% for DEVICE in states.device_tracker -%}
{%- set COLOR = 'red' -%}
{%- if is_state_attr(DEVICE.entity_id,"source_type","router") -%}
{{
{
'entity': DEVICE.entity_id,
'name': COLOR
}
}},
{%- endif -%}
{%- endfor %}
Also tried this, gives an error:
{% for DEVICE in states.device_tracker -%}
{%- set COLOR = 'red' -%}
{%- if is_state_attr(DEVICE.entity_id,"source_type","router") -%}
{{
{
'entity': DEVICE.entity_id,
'card_mod':
{
'style':
':host {
--paper-item-icon-color: '}} {{COLOR}} {{';
}'
}
}
}},
{%- endif -%}
{%- endfor %}
Updated: SOLVED!!!
'card_mod':
{
'style':
':host {
--paper-item-icon-color:' + COLOR + ';
}'
}

since you are not using a color template, and simply always return āredā, why not use
'card_mod':
{
'style':
':host {
--paper-item-icon-color: red;
}'
}
?
btw, I believe I used this before in another place, doesnt that work anymore:
style: |
:host {
--paper-item-icon-color:
{% set id = config.entity.split('.')[1] %}
{% set repo = 'input_boolean.' + id %}
{{'gold' if is_state(repo,'on') else 'green'}}
;
}
As I wrote above, I wanted to use a conditional color:
:host {
--paper-item-icon-color:
{% if ... %}
brown;
{% elif ... %}
red;
{% else %}
green;
{% endif %}
}
But I cannot write smth like (template in template):
...
{{
...
:host {
--paper-item-icon-color:
{% if ... %}
brown;
{% elif ... %}
red;
{% else %}
green;
{% endif %}
}
...
}}
..
So I need to define the "COLOR" outside the "{{ ... }}" code.
And I started with a simple case:
...
{%- set COLOR = 'red' -%}
...
{{
... use COLOR
}}
...
The final goal is:
..
{%- if ... -%}
{%- set COLOR = 'brown' -%}
{%- elif ... -%}
{%- set COLOR = 'red' -%}
{%- else -%}
{%- set COLOR = 'green' -%}
{%- endif -%}
...
{{
... use COLOR
}}

think I remember now. the card-mod I posted above did work just fine, but only on refresh of the view. I think.
using custom-ui makes it instantaneous ā¦
sensor.github_*:
templates:
icon_color: >
var id = entity.entity_id.split('.')[1];
var repo = 'input_boolean.' + id;
if (entities[repo] && entities[repo].state == 'on') return 'gold';
return 'green';
Good point of using something like Custom UI to define things like icon, iconās color in ONE place solves a lot of problem - I do not need to code a style everywhere.
Have not started yet to learn Custom UI - will ask for your advice regarding it a bit later when will be ready, thank you very much for help))
I have a rather challenging question. Is it possible (maybe with a template) to filter out entities based on name BUT only show the first match?
For example: when I pair a Zigbee device, like a button or light, it has multiple entities with extra sensors. They all share the first part of the name, for example 0x0017880108f72158. But they all has something behind it, like 0x0017880108f72158_action and 0x0017880108f72158_battery.
What I would like to do is to catch the first entity/name that matches the friendly name that has that part in the name. It doesnāt matter which one matches, as long as it just takes ONE and ignores the rest.
Now here is the challenging part: the name 0x0017880108f72158 is different each time. So I want to use:
filter:
include:
- name: 0x*
But then filter so it only shows the first one that matches a name, that the others also have. For now I use the sort option count, but then I only get one if there are multiple devices (so that have a completely different name starting with 0x*.
Is something like this possible? Basically: match 0x* but only one per match, if that makes any sense.
Hello!
I have a question. I want to achieve somewhat simple setup. I want to have fold entities auto populated with auto entity like here:
But with toggles for the sections.
I played with static fold entity and was able to get whatās in the screenshot but I donāt know how to use auto-entity to get entities for the fold row.
I know I could have the toggle for the section if I would for example create light group with all entities for area but I was thinking if there is a way to do it without this step.
Nonetheless, fantastic work as always. I just love to get back to some of the cards and see how far theyāve come since last time I played with them

Can someone please tell me why I get a no service has been selected with this code?
- type: custom:auto-entities
show_empty: false
card:
type: entities
title: Sensors
filter:
include:
- entity_id: "sensor.dals_*"
state: "on" # Remember that "on" and "off" are magic in yaml, and must always be quoted
options:
tap_action:
action: call-service
service_template: "{{ state_attr('this.entity_id', 'script') }}" ```Because, just like it says, no service has been selected. You have an action and a service_template. You still need to add a service veriable in the tap_action: Scripts - Home Assistant
Hello,
I would like to display an entity only if another entity has a specific state (here, I would like to display my washing machineās completion time only if the washing machine is running).
Here is a small example/try:
- type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: entities
...
filter:
include:
- entity_id: sensor.washing_machine_completion_time
state: "{{ is_state('sensor.washing_machine_state', 'run') }}"
I tried to filter with state or template, but this is not working. As far as I understand, there is no way to do that, but Iām wondering if somebody did it ?
Thanks,
Thomas
Why do you use auto-entities for this if your goal is to show one specific entity based of the state of one other specific entity? Just use conditional card instead.
If you want multiple entities to show based on the state of one specitic entity, use a conditional card and then the auto-entities card as the card in there.
Well, this is just a minimal example, I have about 20 others filter (like low battery, low signal, HA updates, meteoalarm, etc.)
You could try using a conditional card inside the auto-entities as one of the includes. If that doesnāt work, you can always try config-template-card, which allows you to pass on variables through any card. I use that myself for some cards that donāt allow templating.
I achieve it by doing the following:
...
filter:
include:
# washing machine completion time
- entity_id: sensor.washing_machine_state
state: "run"
options:
entity: sensor.washing_machine_completion_time
So basically, if the washing machine state is run, it displays the state of sensor.washing_machine_completion_time

I have a bunch of sensors named sensor.dals_*. Each of these have a attribute called script. I want to call that script when I click on the sensor in the lovelace card.
Any idea on how the code needs to look like?
