Newbie here!
I am looking if it’s possible to change the value of helper “text” from something to something else when automation is triggered.
For Example, When Automation A is triggered the value in the helper will be “That happened” and when Automation B is triggered later, the value will switch to " this happened"
would appreciate if someone can help me knowing how to achieve this
Hi, you can call the set_value service with the entity_id and value, you want to set.
You can also use the automation_triggered event:
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: automation_triggered
event_data:
entity_id: automation.do_something_a
- platform: event
event_type: automation_triggered
event_data:
entity_id: automation.do_something_ b
condition: []
action:
- service: input_text.set_value
data:
value: |
Automation {{ trigger.event.data['name'] }} ({{trigger.event.data['entity_id'] }}) has been triggered
target:
entity_id: input_text.target
Output:
Automation Do something A (automation.do_something_a) has been triggered
This type or helper is clear. But how can I set a value of a template sensor/helper? And can I even set an attribute value?
Do you mean something like this?
