I’m using an entities card to show the current status of my thermostat (can go into the reasons if necessary) and I have state_color set to true but it does not color the entity when it switches from idle to 'heating. I assuming that state_color is only looking for certain states like on` in order to trigger the coloring, maybe I’m wrong.
type: entities
entities:
- entity: sensor.sensi_action
name: Thermostat Status
state_color: true
This is the template behind the sensor.sensi_action entity.
sensi_action:
friendly_name: "Sensi Thermostat Action"
icon_template: "mdi:thermostat"
value_template: '{{ state_attr("climate.sensi_thermostat_homekit", "hvac_action") }}'
Is there a way to get it to change the color when it switches away from idle?
