Input Select: Multiple values within each option

Configuration
1

All,

Is there a way to have an input select that for each option, it has a number of values that can be used as trigger/conditions for automation, for example:
Option 1: Mon, Wed, Fri
Option 2 Mon, Thu, Sat
Option 3: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun

This is for a sprinkler system, and the options to run the valves.

Yes.

The input select will just create a list of whatever you type in to it, then the selected one becomes its state.

You then use a template in your condition to map what the state of the input_select is, to what you want to do.

thanks @anon43302295 but I might be a little unclear, if option 1 is for BOTH mon, wed and Fri, what will the state become such that it can be used for a trigger? Certainly when each option is only one variable, but in my case Id like to see an option contain multiple days.

Say you set:

input_select:
  days:
    name: Days 
    options:
      - Mon Wed Fri 
      - Tue Thu Sat
    icon: mdi:calendar

… Your template would look something like:

{% if is_state ('input_select.days' ,  'Mon Wed Fri') %} Action 1
{% elif is_state ('input_select.days' ,  'Tue Thu Sat') %} Action 2
{% endif %}

I can’t be much more comprehensive at the moment as I’m away from home and typing on my phone, but I could knock up something more functional after the weekend if you’re still struggling :+1:
