I Need a Way to Turn On Off the Random Service call for Bellow Code.yaml In My Main.yaml
any help is much appreciated. there’s probably a way better way to write this driveway yaml code I’ve built as I’m not a pro in any regard but learning, code would love help.

I would prefer to keep this Driveway code as one big string if its possible as I like reading things all in one place OCD probably because i don’t understand all of YAML yet as learning

Not really sure what you mean…

Are you asking for a way to decide if that service call gets made or not when the automation is triggered and then just move on to the next step in the actions?

Because otherwise the binary sensor turning on will start the automation and the service call gets made at that moment.

again are you asking to be able to enable or disable those service calls with the status of a switch but also allowing the rest of the automation actions to run?

Hey thanks for reply,

Ideally I would be able to add something like this to the template.


{%-elif is_state("input_select.mp3_driveway_alarm_list", "Random") %}
            
###### add input_select.Random elif here#####
- service: input_select.select_option
      target:
        entity_id: input_select.mp3_driveway_alarm_list
      data:
        option: >
            {{ state_attr('input_select.mp3_driveway_alarm_list', 'options')
                | reject('in', [states('input_select.mp3_driveway_alarm_list'), 'My option value'])
                | list | random }}

          {% else %}
            None
          {% endif %}

This would be my best choice of options then if random is not selected it will just play the selected option

look at either the “choose” or “if-then-else” action.

then use the state of the input_select being random or not as the test for which one it uses.
