Hey there!
Can anybody tell me if its possible to fire an event and set event_data using templates?
Example:
- event: appdaemon_scripts__thermostat_generic_update
event_data:
entity_id: ‘{{entity_id}}’
It does not seem as {{entity_id}} gets resolved.
Cheers,
Matthias
I’ve stumbled across this myself recently and do not think it’s possible, not without event_data_template being implemented to execute the templates at runtime.
For what it’s worth, I was stumbling over the same thing so submitted a pull request to implement event_data_template. We’ll see what happens.
