i’m doing a fingerprint sensor based on R503 sensor + ESPHome. In test mode everything works. The issue appeared when i wanted to make a dashboard for final integration.
There are some actions that require providing some parameters. Let’s take Enroll action, to add new fingerprints. This requires integer finger_id and num_scans.
If i manually trigger tha action in DevTools and use it’s input boxes for params - everything works.
If i hardcode the values in dashboard button - everything works again.
cards:
- show_name: true
show_icon: true
type: button
tap_action:
action: perform-action
perform_action: esphome.esphome_door_enroll
data:
finger_id: 6
num_scans: 2
target: {}
name: Enroll
icon: mdi:fingerprint
but i need an 'input" element where i can type the finger_it i want to add or delete. Here i have issues i cannot yet solve.
when finger_id is assigned any values from input elements, i get this error:
“Failed to perform the action esphome/esphome_door_enroll. expected int for dictionary value @ data[‘finger_id’]”
cards:
- show_name: true
show_icon: true
type: button
tap_action:
action: perform-action
perform_action: esphome.esphome_door_enroll
data:
finger_id: {{ states('input_number.finger_id_input') | int }}
num_scans: 2
target: {}
name: Enroll
icon: mdi:fingerprint
this is ESPHome config:
# Enable Home Assistant API
api:
actions:
- action: enroll
variables:
finger_id: int
num_scans: int
then:
- fingerprint_grow.aura_led_control:
state: ALWAYS_ON
color: YELLOW
speed: 0
count: 0
- fingerprint_grow.enroll:
finger_id: !lambda 'return finger_id;'
num_scans: !lambda 'return num_scans;'
it’s been weeks since i try to get it through myself, but i need help.
