Hi
I have an automation that I want to write to modbus when an input select entity changes. I can trigger this but the message I want to send is not exactly the same as the input select text option
I have the below input select
victron_mode:
name: Victron Inverter Mode
options:
- 1 - Charger Only
- 2 - Inverter Only
- 3 - On
- 4 - Off
Here is my simple automation
- id: '1665056384262'
alias: Set Victron Inverter Mode from input select
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: input_select.victron_mode
action:
- service: modbus.write_register
data_template:
unit: 100
value: '{{ states(''input_select.victron_ess_minimum_soc'')|int }}'
hub: victron
address: 4531
However, I dont want to send the exact text from the input select. I only want to send the number
‘1-Charger Only’ → 1
‘2 Inverter Only’ → 2
etc
How do I pop an if statement into the automation along the lines of
if (Input Select = 1-Charger only, then Output =1)
Cheers
