Hello!
Is there an easy way to select an option using an index number in an input_select?
Let’s say I have this code and I want to select “Adam” in an automation using the index number “2”.
input_select:
who_cooks:
name: Who cooks today
options:
- Eric
- Anna
- Adam
- Steve
If given this:
input_select:
example:
name: Example
options:
- 'first'
- 'second'
- 'third'
it appears in Developer Tools > States like this:
Its options attribute contains a list of its options so I can reference any of them by index number:
What you cannot do is set the input_select’s current state value using an index number.
Thank you @123 Taras!
I want to use this for “bidirectional communication” between a modbus sensor and an input_select and it seems to work perfectly.
Here is my complete code:
input_select:
heru_regulation_mode:
name: Regulation mode
options:
- 'supply'
- 'extract'
- 'room'
- 'extract s/w'
- 'room s/w'
icon: mdi:tune
modbus:
- name: heru
type: tcp
host: 192.168.0.115
port: 10502
sensors:
- name: TPHeruRegulationMode
# 0 = Supply, 1 = Extract, 2 = Room, 3 = Extract S/W, 4 = Room S/W
slave: 1
address: 11
input_type: holding
count: 1
scale: 1
offset: 0
precision: 0
data_type: int
scan_interval: 15
automation:
- alias: 'Heru regulation mode'
initial_state: 'on'
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: input_select.heru_regulation_mode
condition: []
action:
- service: modbus.write_register
data:
hub: heru
unit: 1
address: 11
value: "{{ state_attr(trigger.entity_id,'options').index(states(trigger.entity_id)) }}"
- service: homeassistant.update_entity
data:
entity_id: sensor.tpheruregulationmode
- alias: 'Heru regulation mode, Update input_select'
initial_state: 'on'
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.tpheruregulationmode
condition: []
action:
service: input_select.select_option
target:
entity_id: input_select.heru_regulation_mode
data:
option: "{{ state_attr('input_select.heru_regulation_mode','options') [states(trigger.entity_id) | int] }}"
I think I’m trying to do something similar in esphome but with no luck…
Esphome config file:
select:
- platform: "tuya"
tuya_id: "house"
name: "ESPH House Power Select"
enum_datapoint: 4
options:
0: P1-High
1: P2-Med High
2: P3-Med Low
3: P4-Low
And in an automation I’m trying to set the Power Level as follows, but it doesnt seem to work.
service: select.select_option
data:
option: 1
target:
entity_id: select.esph_house_power_select
Any advice?
EDIT: I had to use the valu, not the index. Duh!
