Exclude in a template?

[Thekholm]

Hi all, i just want to know if its possible to exclude entitys in a template? I have got this and it shows me all my on lights and total lights. But I know it also counts all the groups from Philips hue Hub as lights. Just learning about template!

{{ states.light | selectattr( ‘state’, ‘eq’, ‘on’) | list | length }} of {{ states.light | count }}

best regards

| rejectattr('entity_id', 'in', filter)

Working out how to differentiate the entities you dont want and storing them in the variable filter is the tricky part.

See petro’s post here:

Exclude specific entity in data template to prevent binary_sensor.remote_ui in list of unavailable entities

My mistake, typos {% set domains = ['light', 'vacuum', 'switch', 'sensor', 'binary_sensor', 'zwave', 'lock'] %} {% set filter = ['binary_sensor.remote_ui'] %} {{ states | selectattr('domain', 'in', domains) | rejectattr('entity_id', 'in', filter) | selectattr('state','eq','unavailable') | map(attribute='name') | list | join(', ') }}

Only Hue groups (room or zone) have an attribute called is_hue_group and its value is true.

{{ states.light | selectattr('state', 'eq', 'on')
  | rejectattr('attributes.is_hue_group', 'true')
  | map(attribute='entity_id')
  | list | count }}

They also have an attribute called hue_type, whose value is either room or zone, so another way would be like this:

{{ states.light | selectattr('state', 'eq', 'on')
  | rejectattr('attributes.hue_type', 'in', ['room', 'zone'])
  | map(attribute='entity_id')
  | list | count }}

This version gives you more flexibility if you have an application where you need to selectively reject lights that are either in a room or a zone. However, for your current needs (reject rooms and zones) the first example will do the trick.

@Thekholm

If you mean that you want to count all lights, regardless of their current state, simply remove the selectattr filter.

Hi again,

I mean without the Philips Hue Hub (light groups), so I can get the right amount of total lights.

{{ states.light | selectattr(‘state’, ‘eq’, ‘on’)
| rejectattr(‘attributes.is_hue_group’, ‘true’)
| map(attribute=‘entity_id’)
| list | count }} Light is turned on of {{ states.light | count }}

Thanks

@Thekholm

I mean without the Philips Hue Hub (light groups), so I can get the right amount of total lights.

That’s what this line in the template does. It rejects any entity that has a is_hue_group: true in its attributes. Only Philips Hue groups have this attribute.

  | rejectattr('attributes.is_hue_group', 'true')

[Thekholm]

Well i did understand that

So I got the the right amount of light showing now (the on lights)! I also want the total amount of lights in my home show. Like this 24 of 82 lights are on.

I have all that showing but I know that of my 82 lights in total 15 are hue groups, them I want to get rid of.

Did I express myself better this time? Sorry for my English.

Thanks again for the help!

Remove this:

| selectattr(‘state’, ‘eq’, ‘on’)

To get he number of off and on lights that are not Philips Hue.
