Hi
I have a input_select helper with entity id in state, like light.office
It is set by automation, when a button-card turns on the light, the entity id is set in the input_select and that works.
Next i like a button-card to show the information from the input_select.light state as entity in the button-card.
my simple button-card for test
type: custom:button-card
variables:
my_entity: '{{ states('input_select.light') }}'
entity: '[[[ return variables.my_entity ]]]'
This will give me the input_select
my_entity: 'input_select.light_controller'
This dos not work:
my_entity: '[[[return states('input_select.light_controller') ]]]'
The plan is to have a button-card in my dashboard with custom_fields that shows light color and brightness and will change when another light is turn on.
