state-switch
I like the conditional card and its ability to dynamically change the interface a bit, but if you want to switch between two different cards, you need to add two conditional cards… And if you want even more it quickly grows.
So I made state-switch which allows you to switch in a card based on a dictionary of entity states.
- type: custom:state-switch
entity: device_tracker.my_phone
states:
home:
[definition of one card]
work:
[definition of another card]
not_home:
[and yet another]
While I use this in my own configuration, I almost decided against releasing it publicly beacuse the same thing can also be done with conditional… but then I realized something… I could easily make it switch depending on user name instead.
- type: custom:state-switch
entity: user
default: all_other
states:
admin:
type: entity-button
entity: switch.self_destruct
all_other:
type: markdown
content: >
## You're not supposed to be here!
