Condition state being ignored | Entities card

Configuration
,
1

Hey there. I could really do with some help.

I have added an Entity Card on my dashboard. I want to use this card to show which windows are open. I only want the window entity to be visible on the card when it is open - otherwise dont show the window entity.

For some reason, the condition state is always ignored. Is there something I am doing wrong - please take a look all ideas and help welcome.

Just some notes of what I have tried to fix the problem:

  • I tried the state in quotes and single quotes
  • I tried a combination of uppercase and lower case (OPEN/open/Open)
  • I checked the entity in HAS to confirm how the state shows (Closed or Open)
  • I check the entity shows on the card as expected with no conditions
  • You will see in code I tried state and state_not but either way, no luck

The code used

type: entities
entities:
  - type: section
    label: Windows and doors
  - type: conditional
    conditions:
      - entity: binary_sensor.kitchen_window_contact
        state: Open
    row:
      entity: binary_sensor.kitchen_window_contact
      name: Kitchen window
  - type: conditional
    conditions:
      - entity: binary_sensor.lounge_window_contact
        state_not: Closed
    row:
      entity: binary_sensor.lounge_window_contact
      name: Lounge window
state_color: false
theme: Mushroom Shadow

It should be “on” for open and “off” for closed. Binary sensors are always on/off, but the device class can change what is shown - open/closed in the case of “opening” for device class.

That was so obvious when I read that. Tried it and it worked perfectly. THANK YOU
