Hello all,
is it possible to get the Badge counts of the sidebar (picture attached) for automations?
I would like to switch on a small LED light if there are numbers either at Settings or also at Notifications so i see it without opening the frontend.

You can achieve that with a custom plugin that I maintain. To add a notification to a sidebar item you need to use the notification order item property.
Edit: I misunderstood your question, I thought that you wanted to add a new notification in a sidebar item. And what you want is to get those numbers for an automation.
You can check the number of issues with sensor.active_issues and the number of updates with this template:
{{
expand(states.update)
| selectattr('state', 'eq', 'on')
| list
| length
}}
For the notifications you can try with sensor.persistent_notifications.
You can attach any badge to any icon in a sidebar by a card-mod theme.
Go to the main card-mod thread - 1 st post - fantastic link at the bottom - themes - sidebar - badges
The Template is working great,thanks. But with the sensors i did not have any luck. Do i have to activate them somewhere?
Oh yes, sorry, those sensors are coming from the Spook integration.
Perfect, thanks for clarifying. With all this i can build my automation. Thank you very much!
