have a set of input_booleans in the form of
input_boolean.github_home_assistant for each of the repo’s I follow with my sensors, which have the same object_id’s: sensor.github_home_assistant.
I like to customize_glob these sensors, based on the state of the input_boolean:
sensor.github_*:
templates:
icon_color: >
var repo = entity.entity_id.split('.')[1];
if (entities['input_boolean.' + repo].state == 'on') return 'gold';
return 'steelblue';
which somehow doesn’t work just yet.
anyone can see the error I make?
Believed entity.entity_id.split('.')[1] should be github_home_assistant in this example, leading to
if (entities['input_boolean.' +'github_home_assistant'].state == 'on') return 'gold';
return 'steelblue';
which would be
if (entities['input_boolean.github_home_assistant'].state == 'on') return 'gold';
return 'steelblue';
which works as desired.
inspector says:
small update, this does work also:
sensor.github_home_assistant:
templates:
icon_color: >
var id = entity.entity_id.split('.')[1];
var repo = 'input_boolean.' + id;
if (entities[repo].state == 'on') return 'gold';
return 'green';
seems the concatenation in the actual template is an issue, which we can circumvent with an extra step before adding it to the template.
Now testing final step for the customize_glob on all sensor.github_* entities…
well, too bad:
figure this might be a great opportunity to use card_mod on the auto-entities card listing all sensors:
- type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: entities
style: |
ha-card {
box-shadow: none;
background: none;
padding: 0px;
margin: -20px;
}
:host {
--paper-item-icon-color:
{% set id = config.entity.entity_id.split('.')[1] %}
{% set repo = 'input_boolean.' + id %}
{% if states(repo) == 'on' %} gold
{% else %} green
{% endif %}
;
}
but this is not working either… even worse, the paper-item-icon-color template ruins the ha-card template.
anyone with a great hint please?

because your config doesn’t have an entity field…
Mariusthvdb:
config.entity
mm, not sure, how then could the rest of the card work fine, while it too is using config.entity:
filter:
include:
- group: group.github_repos_in_use
options:
tap_action:
action: more-info
hold_action:
action: navigate #url
navigation_path: weblinks
type: custom:template-entity-row
style: |
:host {
--paper-item-icon-color:
{% set id = config.entity.object_id %}
{% set repo = 'input_boolean.' + id %}
{{'gold' if is_state(repo,'on') else 'green'}}
;
}
state: >
{% if states(config.entity) != None %}
{% if state_attr(config.entity,'latest_release_tag') %}
{{state_attr(config.entity,'latest_release_tag')}}
{% else %} {{states(config.entity)}}
{% endif %}
{% else %} Unknown
{% endif %}
secondary: >
{% if states(config.entity) != None %}
{{state_attr(config.entity,'latest_commit_message')}}
{% else %} Unknown
{% endif %}

The only thing I can say is that the style is card mod and the rest is auto-entities. Your configuration for the card (custom:template-entity-row) does not explicitly contain ‘entity’. That is most likely the root of your problem.
you’re probably right of course, but I wouldn’t know what to do now. I hoped that the entity would have been passed or registered somehow, and be useable in the card-mod template.
fwiw, I’ve also tried --paper-item-icon-active-color since that is the active color for template-entity-row: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-template-entity-row#options but it doesn’t help.
fear my only hope is a tag to Thomas…maybe it is not possible at all.
this works:
type: custom:template-entity-row
style: |
:host {
--paper-item-icon-color: red;
}
So I know the variable is the right one
as does the hard coded version:
type: custom:template-entity-row
style: |
:host {
--paper-item-icon-color:
{% set id = states.sensor.github_home_assistant.object_id %}
{% set repo = 'input_boolean.' + id %}
{{'gold' if is_state(repo,'on') else 'green'}}
;
}
coloring all sensors now of course, but hey, this is progress
now how to get it to use the entity of the auto-entities …
even tried it like this:
type: custom:template-entity-row
style: |
:host {
--paper-item-icon-color:
{% set id = states(config.entity) %}
{% set od = id.object_id %}
{% set repo = 'input_boolean.' + od %}
{{'gold' if is_state(repo,'on') else 'green'}}
;
}
simply wont work
Solved, by Thomas, of course.
config.entity is the entity id, not the state object
see 🔹 Auto-entities - Automatically fill cards with entities - #134 by Mariusthvdb
type: custom:template-entity-row
style: |
:host {
--paper-item-icon-color:
{% set id = config.entity.split('.')[1] %}
{% set repo = 'input_boolean.' + id %}
{% if states(repo) == 'on' %} gold
{% else %} green
{% endif %}
;
resulting in:
short template version:
type: custom:template-entity-row
style: |
:host {
--paper-item-icon-color:
{% set id = config.entity.split('.')[1] %}
{% set repo = 'input_boolean.' + id %}
{{'gold' if is_state(repo,'on') else 'green'}}
;
