Re-use input in an input selector

Configuration Blueprints
1

Hello,

First post here :slight_smile:
I’m looking to use a previous input in a selector for a blueprint. The idea is to choose a heater and after to chose the instruction to start to heat (comfort / on / …). I search in many ways and didn’t find how to do it.

Any clue ?
Here’s a code exemple :

blueprint:
  name: test
  domain: automation
  input:
    entity_heater:
      name: Pilot wire eletric heater
      selector:
        entity:
          domain: select
    heater_instruction_on:
      name: Start instruction for pilot wire
      selector:
        state:
          entity_id: !input entity_heater

Hey there,

If you’re trying to use a previous input in a selector for a blueprint, you can achieve this by setting up a sequence that allows you to choose a heater and then the instruction for heating, like ‘comfort’ or ‘on’. I understand you’ve been searching for solutions, and here’s a code example that might help:

blueprint:
  name: test
  domain: automation
  input:
    entity_heater:
      name: Pilot wire electric heater
      selector:
        entity:
          domain: select
    heater_instruction_on:
      name: Start instruction for pilot wire
      selector:
        entity:
          domain: input_select
          entity_id: input_select.select_heater_instructions

This YAML code snippet demonstrates how you can set up a blueprint with input options for choosing a heater and its corresponding start instruction. Make sure to adjust the entity_id as per your setup.

That had a couple of syntax errors… same code - fixed the syntax

    entity_heater:
      name: Pilot wire electric heater
      selector:
        entity:
          filter:
            domain: select
    heater_instruction_on:
      name: Start instruction for pilot wire
      default: input_select.select_heater_instructions
      selector:
        entity:
          filter:
            domain: input_select
