Listing of Entries for YAML File?

Third party integrations Floorplan
1

Hi All,

I just stumbled upon Floorplan and I have to say I am so impressed! I’ve already started developing my own Floorplan and I love the flexibility.

The problem I’m struggling with is entering my entities in the floorplan.yaml file. I don’t know the correct syntax to enter. For example, I have ecobee thermostats but can’t add them because I don’t know what to code in the YAML file.

I see this entry in the floorplan.yaml template, but not sure how I edit that to bring in my ecobee info.

#        - name: thermostat_temp
#          entities:
#            - climate.downstairs
#            - climate.upstairs
#          text_template: '${entity.attributes.current_temperature ? entity.attributes.current_temperature : "undefined"}'

I’ve been able to add some elements because I have copied and pasted info I have found looking through this forum (thanks to all those that have helped me get started).

Is there a “one stop shop” thread that has the syntax needed for specific components? If not, would it make sense to start one?

Besides ecobee, I don’t know where to start to add my Ring doorbell.

Thanks in advance for anyone who can point me in the right direction.

Regards,

John

If you go into Home Assistant, then look on the menu at the bottom, there are several icons. The second one “< >” is a list of all entities and their states. you can look through that list to see every entity_id that HASS knows. Hope that helps :slight_smile:

Ah, ok, I see now. My ecobee is a ‘Sensor’ so I just append it to the other entities under Sensors. Thanks for your help @mconway!
