If then on interval in ESPHome

[Rstyle94]

Good morning,
In ESPHome, I have a 64*64 MATRIX screen and I have configured 2 display pages on it.
I have configured an interval of 5 seconds for the display so that each page is displayed alternately but I would like to put a condition on it.
That is to say, activate the interval sequence only if printing is in progress, otherwise only display the first page.
Below is my current code:

Bonjour,

@Tinkerer

We can only support one language here, and that language is English. We appreciate that not everybody can read and write it, but there are a wide range of options out there . We chose this language since it’s known to the moderators and developers, and also one of the most widely known languages.

Alternatively there are other places you can get help in other languages.

There is an example in the Docs for this exact scenario.

Display Component

[Rstyle94]

Good morning,
Thank you for the feedback but in fact I want to activate the interval only if the condition is true, not display a specific page.

[Karosm]

Try with condition

 - interval: 5s
    then:
      if:
        condition:
          your-condition
        then:
         - display.page.show_next: matrix
         - component.update: matrix

[Rstyle94]

Thanks for your return but when i’m trying to put the code, i’ve got a error message :

I don’t know how i can declare a condition.

[Karosm]

I’m not sure what component your condition is related to… (I don’t use Home Assistant)

normally condition is declared like this:

binary_sensor.is_on: my_binary_sensor

or

text_sensor.state:
          id: my_text_sensor
          state: 'MyState'

or try it with lambda:

lambda: |-
            return id(some_sensor).state < 10;

[Fallingaway24 (Justin)]

Thats why there is documentation. None of us knew how at one point either but, we read and used the documentation to learn. Did you not know of this and all the examples it provides? Simple stuff like this, you can usually find a copy/paste example that will do exactly what you need.

The error you’re getting tells you exactly what the problem is. Theres no condition “entity_id”. That is the wrong syntax and if you use the documentation like I keep telling you, you’d quickly see how it needs to be formatted.

Automations and Templates

[Fallingaway24 (Justin)]

The first link I sent you, it shows you in the examples. Here though, neither example does what you want but with a little thought you can use parts from both of them to create the automation you need.

This swaps pages like you want but not exactly. It does it on a 5s interval no matter what. So, you just need to add an if-else condition in it.

interval:
  - interval: 5s
    then:
      - display.page.show_next: my_display
      - component.update: my_display

If you scroll down a little bit on that documentation page there are more examples right under it that show you how to format an if-then condition.

Im not a fan of just writing people’s code for them to just copy/paste because I dont think it helps anyone.

Ill help you but, try to see if you can work it yourself now. Ive basically given you all the pieces, you just need to put it together.

[Rstyle94]

You’re right
Thanks for your time, i’m going to read the documentation.

[Fallingaway24 (Justin)]

People probably get annoyed with me always saying thay but, it will help you in many ways. Going and looking at supported devices/sensors can give you tons of future project ideas, help you better understand what is possible to do with esphome(a lot!). Most importantly then how to do it.

The other bonus is you likely wont be one of the people who go buy stuff online and then go around asking if/how to use it with esphome… you’ll know which sensors are supported or at the very least where to go check if one is or isnt.

FYI…
Is supported is much easier than not supported.
