Input_select - options ID VS Friendly Name

Configuration
1

Is it possible to provide “friendly_names” for input_select options?
I would like to have my option “IDs” in EN language so I can re-use them in automations and don’t have to create a corresponding mapping template to receive the needed values.
But at the same time I have my GUI in DE (as I am not the only one using HA :wink: ), which would require my input_select options in german…

No, input_select options do not have friendly_names, only entities do.

Thanks - are you aware about any other method that could be used?
As said - at the moment I am setting a “variable” within my automation based on a template where I have made a “mapping” list…

That is the only way I’m aware of.

Could someone post everything needed to do this (mapping list for input_select)?

I do have an input_select:

    - name: evcc_phases
      unique_id: uniqueid__evcc_phases_select
      icon: mdi:backburger
      state_topic: "evcc/loadpoints/1/phasesConfigured"
      command_topic: "evcc/loadpoints/1/phases/set"
      availability_topic: "evcc/status"
      options:
        - "0"
        - "1"
        - "3"

Now in the UI/dashboard, I don’t want to see 0, 1, 3 obviously, so I have another input_select like so:

  evcc_phase_configuration_ui_select:
    name: Phasen
    options:
      - "Automatik"
      - "1-phasig"
      - "3-phasig"
    icon: mdi:backburger

I guess I now have to set up an automation (or two?) that get triggered when either one of the input_selects changes, and then change the other one? I guess I will probably run into some kind of loop?

Hopefully someone has a working example of how to do this properly. :slight_smile:
