Light counter

Configuration
1

I’m a newbie to Home Assistant.

I’m now trying to make my own dashboard.

I want to add expand my mushroom chips card, besides the Weather, with a lights/switch on counter that is always visible. So it is displaying how many lights/switches there are on.

How to do this step by step?

This are the lights / switches

two lights outside:
switch.shellypro2_30c6f7812518_switch_0
switch.shellypro2_30c6f7812518_switch_1

Two lights at the living room:

switch.staan_lamp
switch.sfeerlampjes_living

I’ve found that post also. But it’s not making sense to me. Still don’t know what to add to which file.

Added this like above to create the sensor to the configuration.yaml
And it did work.

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      lights_on:
        friendly_name: "Lichten AAN"
        value_template: >

          {% set lights = [
          states.switch.shellypro2_30c6f7812518_switch_0,
          states.switch.shellypro2_30c6f7812518_switch_1,
          states.switch.staan_lamp,
          states.switch.sfeerlampjes_living,
          ] %}
          {{ lights | selectattr('state','eq','on') | list | count }}

Thanks!
