Hi,
I have a service (from an integration) where I can enter something in the field ‘Search’. I prefer to do this not in the service (through automation) but via an input text ‘helper’. is this possible?
so when I enter something (in the text box) this value (let’s say Eminem) should go into the “search” field as value and then get’s executed.
how the service looks like:
description: ""
mode: single
trigger: []
condition: []
action:
- service: spotify
data:
limit: 20
repeat: "off"
shuffle: false
search: HERE THE VALUE FROM THE TEXT INPUT
What I already tried, but the tracing keeps telling me 'unknown":
description: ""
mode: single
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- input_text.test
enabled: true
condition: []
action:
- service: spotify
data:
limit: 20
repeat: "off"
shuffle: false
device_name: Livingroom
search: "{{ states('input_select.test') }}"
So it seems that what I enter in the input is not passed on…
