I have a fan speed switch that either turns on full speed or variable speed, I simply want to change it from on/off to max/variable in the front end. The value_template I used works for a sensor but not a switch. I feel like there should be a real simple solution, but I haven’t been able to find anything in the search. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
The value_template in a template switch does not change the displayed states in the front end. It is only used to determine the current state of the switch.
I’m not sure there is a way to customise the display states of a switch from on/off to anything else.
Maybe you could use the custom button card instead (the fan icon can even be made to spin when on)?
Ahh that may be why I wasn’t able to find any info on it. I wanted to put it in a glance card to be consistent with the rest of my configuration but looks like the button card you suggested will do what I want it to. Thank you for your time!
