I could manually clone the set of entities from my Abode alarm (connected via homekit) but I’d really rather just use the alarm system as the source of truth. I already use the Auto Entities card for my UI to show what is open
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: entities
title: Open Doors and Windows
filter:
include:
- device_manufacturer: Abode
device_model: Contact Sensor
domain: binary_sensor
state: 'on'
I’d like to automate turning my thermostat to eco if any of the Abode contact sensors are open for more than X time.
I know how to do this with a manually managed group of entities but the Don’t Repeat Yourself in me really hates having a static list of entities that I know I can fetch dynamically.
Is there a way to dynamically create/manage an entity group?
