Make a visibility condition case insensitive

Configuration Frontend
1

The following code works (i.e. the badge is not shown) if the state is “Vert”. It doesn’t if the state is “vert” (or VERT or vErT, etc.).

type: custom:mushroom-template-badge
content: |-
  {% if states('sensor.63_weather_alert') | lower ==  "vert" %}
    Niveau d'alerte vert
  {% else %}
    Alerte {{states(entity) | lower }}
  {% endif %}
icon: |-
  {% if is_state(entity, "Unknown") %}
    mdi:cloud-question-outline
  {% else %}
    mdi:weather-cloudy-alert
  {% endif %}
color: |-
  {% if states('sensor.63_weather_alert') | lower ==  "vert" %}
    green
  {% elif states('sensor.63_weather_alert') | lower == "jaune" %}
    yellow
  {% elif states('sensor.63_weather_alert') | lower == "orange" %}
    orange  
  {% elif states('sensor.63_weather_alert') | lower ==  "rouge" %}
     red
  {% else %}
    grey
  {% endif %}
entity: sensor.63_weather_alert
label: Météo
tap_action:
  action: navigate
  navigation_path: /dashboard-global/meteo
visibility:
  - condition: state
    entity: sensor.63_weather_alert
    state_not: Vert

You may have noticed I made the color and content dynamic and case insensitive with if states('sensor.63_weather_alert') | lower. How would you achieve this with the condition (and why isn’t it the default behavior?)?

I’d make a template entity that lowers the result and use that instead.

{{ states('sensor.63_weather_alert') | lower }}

Because everyone has a different use case and a different state to find. Some people may want to find exact wording.

I’m just a noob but I hate creating entities for a front-end issue, it adds to the clutter (in my mind).

Have you ever encountered a case in which “State” should be True and “state” False? Not trying to be a jerk: I’m curious to know if people have a use case for case-sensitive if statements on states.

Unless you meant doing this inside the badge’s yaml? But I couldn’t make it work

Anyone has a solution that doesn’t require creating an entity?

Yes, write out all the combinations in your not_state
