Heyhey
I did create some template switches (hopefully what ive done is called like that).
On Dashboard I created buttons to acces these, to turn automatisations on and off.
Here is the code:
switch:
- platform: template
switches:
keba:
friendly_name: "Keba"
turn_on:
service: keba.enable
turn_off:
service: keba.disable
- platform: template
switches:
pvsteckdoselaptop:
friendly_name: "PV Automatisierung Steckdose Laptop"
turn_on:
service: automation.turn_on
data: {}
target:
entity_id: automation.PVLaptopladen
turn_off:
- service: automation.turn_off
data:
stop_actions: true
target:
entity_id: automation.PVLaptopladen
- service: switch.turn_on
entity_id: switch.steckdose_laptop
- platform: template
switches:
pvheizungbuero:
friendly_name: "PV Automatisierung Heizung Büro"
turn_on:
service: automation.turn_on
data: {}
target:
entity_id: automation.PVStromheizung
turn_off:
service: automation.turn_off
data:
stop_actions: true
target:
entity_id: automation.PVStromheizung
Those switches work, but is there a way to group them, to get a better overview?
On some youtube videos I found stuff like:
tempate:
switches:
- name: Swicht1
#[...]
- name: Switch2
#[...]
But when doing this, I get formatting errors.
And another question for example to my pvsteckdoselaptop Switch.
I could have created this in the UI via Helpers, and create a script or automatisation, to do what I want if I change the switches’ state.
Is there any difference between “UI Helpers” and templates?
Whats the benefit of createing those template in code or in UI?
And why I dont see the code created templates in the UI under helpers?
Isn’t that the same?
