Good day Development Team,
I’d like to suggest a feature that allows users to input a dynamic value (whether an IP or a Link) into the “host” field of the TCP platform, directly through the Lovelace interface.
Currently, my configuration is as follows:
sensor:
- platform: tcp
name: vmc_vmgh
host: 192.168.1.160
port: 5001
timeout: 15
payload: “VMGH?”
scan_interval:
seconds: 5
It would be fantastic if we could have a solution similar to:
sensor:
- platform: tcp
name: vmc_vmgh
host: {{ states(‘input_text.vmc_ip’) }}
port: 5001
timeout: 15
payload: “VMGH?”
scan_interval:
seconds: 5
Such an implementation would greatly enrich the experience on Home Assistant!
Thank you in advance for considering my suggestion.
