Configuration Frontend

hello

i want to modify my yaml :slight_smile:
i have a button with an icon

but i want to change this icon according of the state of an other entity

this is my code , no errors but not working

type: entities
entities:
  - entity: button.x9c1t7_pressed
    icon: "{% if is_state('switch.bjx4ws_switch', 'on') %} mdi:lightbulb-on {% else %} mdi:lightbulb-off {% endif %}"

title: werkpl for 1 werkplaats tr cont scripted led

and when i test it : it seems to work as the text changes instead of the icon

Core dashboard cards (with very few exceptions) do not support templates.

There are third party alternatives and plug-ins you can use. Like

  • card-mod
  • config-template-card
  • custom-button-card
  • mushroom-card

… adding template entity row to the list from Tom in this use-case as well

BTW: Yes, I would like to be able/allowed to template every string as well. Would be so convenient. :sunglasses:
