Button card on off call script

Configuration Frontend
1

Hello everybody:
How can I configure a custom: button-card to execute a script according to the state of a media player?
If it is in standby mode call script on
If it is on call script off
Thanks

   - type: custom:button-card
     entity: media_player.playstation_4
     name: Playstation            
     action: call-service
      ??? service: automation.encender_ps4 or apagar_ps4

Scripts

  encender_ps4:
    alias: 'Encender PS4'
    sequence:
    - data:
        entity_id: media_player.playstation_4
      service: media_player.turn_on

  apagar_ps4:
    alias: 'Apagar PS4'
    sequence:
    - data:
        entity_id: media_player.playstation_4
      service: media_player.turn_off

Hi! Can you give us more information regarding media_player.playstation_4 entity?

You can go to Developer Tools → States (Tab) → Find/Type “media_player.playstation_4” → There you will find state & state attribute.

You can copy and paste the available data there. It is important to know how we can get the data to know the status of “media_player.playstation_4”.

I don’t think you can. You can however make a script that does call on or the other depending on the state. Simply add a chooser to the script :slight_smile:

4

The state of the media player is standby or idle.
What I need to know is if I can at the moment of clicking on the card call a script or the other script

5

Sin embargo, puede hacer un script que llame a uno u otro dependiendo del estado

That is what I need. According to the idle or standby state that calls the script that turns on the playstation or the script that turns it off

6

What do you want to happen if the states is playing or off?

7

I want that if I click on the card button and media_player.playstation_4 is in standby mode, it calls the script that turns on the play.
If it is on idle and I press the button card, turn it off

Thanks

Hello! Can you try if this works for you? You need to use this YAML to create a script. Then, for your button card, you select this script as the target.

alias: Playstation Script
sequence:
  - service: >-
      {% if states('media_player.playstation_4') == 'standby' %}
        media_player.turn_on
      {% elif states('media_player.playstation_4') == 'idle' %}
        media_player.turn_off
      {% endif %}
    target:
      entity_id: media_player.playstation_4
mode: single

Below is the better approach by septillion-

alias: Playstation Script
sequence:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: media_player.playstation_4
            state: standby
        sequence:
          - service: media_player.turn_on
            target:
              entity_id: media_player.playstation_4
      - conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: media_player.playstation_4
            state: idle
        sequence:
          - service: media_player.turn_off
            target:
              entity_id: media_player.playstation_4
    default: []
mode: single

Does it work if the state of the Playstation is in “playing” or “off”?

Maybe an error shows up in the logs?

Works without errors

That’s basically what I told you :wink:

And yeah, that script will throw an error is the state isn’t standby or idle because it will try to call an empty service. So I would just throw everything in a chooser with an empty default

alias: Playstation Script
sequence:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: media_player.playstation_4
            state: standby
        sequence:
          - service: media_player.turn_on
            target:
              entity_id: media_player.playstation_4
      - conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: media_player.playstation_4
            state: idle
        sequence:
          - service: media_player.turn_off
            target:
              entity_id: media_player.playstation_4
    default: []
mode: single

OK, thanks a lot. I’m going to prove it.
I just tried it in standby mode. Don’t test it off.
In the event that the play is off, I don’t think I can turn it on. I have the installation supervised and I can’t get it to work GitHub - dhleong/ps4-waker: Wake your PS4 over LAN (with help from the Playstation App)
