Conditional Mailbox Card error

Configuration Frontend
1

Hi,
I don’t get why I get from HA here “Conditions are invalid”:

type: conditional
conditions:
  - condition: template
    value_template: >-
      {% set lc = states.binary_sensor.mailbox_contact.last_changed %} {{ lc
      is not none and lc.date() == now().date() }}
card:
  type: markdown
  content: >
    **📬 mailbox opend at {{
    states.binary_sensor.mailbox_contact.last_changed.strftime('%H:%M') }}**

That should be pretty straigt forward, I tried already many variances, but with the error message no idea where to exactly find the error.

Template conditions are not supported for cards.
Create a template binary sensor and use it instead.

Thank you, working now. The solution:

in configuration file:

binary_sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      mailbox_today:
        unique_id: mailbox_today
        value_template: >-
          {% set lc = states.binary_sensor.mailbox_contact.last_changed %}
          {% if lc is not none and lc.date() == now().date() %}
            true
          {% else %}
            false
          {% endif %}

card in dashboard:


type: conditional
conditions:
  - condition: state
    entity: binary_sensor.mailbox_today
    state: "on"
card:
  type: markdown
  content: >-
    **📬 Mailbox opened at  {{
    states.binary_sensor.mailbox_contact.last_changed.astimezone().strftime('%H:%M') }}**
  title: Mailbox
