Hi guys,
Trying this for 2 days now but can’t figure it out.
I got:
I’m using the mini-graph-card control to show the temperature, but I also want to see when the power outlet was on, in the same chart. It can be done, similar to what you see if you open the link, but I need a binary sensor (or sensor) for it.
How can I expose the switch.ikea-power-outlet entity also as a binary sensor so I can reference it in the mini-graph-card? I tried using the template integration but I can’t get it to work. I either get a binary sensor but it never gets updated accordingly to the state of the outlet, or I add a MQTT version but it’s not in the entity list.
Code snippets:
template:
- binary_sensor:
- name: "PWR_OUTLET_2_state"
state: "{{ is_state('switch.pwr_outlet_2', 'On') }}"
######
binary_sensor:
- platform: "mqtt"
name: "PWR_OUTLET_2_state"
state_topic: "zigbee/0x842e14fffeaaaaaa" ### PWR_OUTLET_2
value_template: "{%if is_state(switch.pwr_outlet_2,\"On\")-%}On{%-else-%}Off{%-endif%}"
