Secondary info - multiple & state of other entity

Configuration Frontend
1

I would like to have multiple secondary info lines below my entity.

  1. For last changed (already there)
  2. Power consumption or other from another entity.

Is that possible?

Hi @lonebaggie, thank you kindly for your response. I am not sure how to use lovelace-canary for my use case.

What I would like is the following.

I have this now:
image

  - entity: switch.wallswitch01_switch
    secondary_info: last-changed
    state_color: true

I have a separate entity of the same device with power consumption (and other entities):

I would like to see the watt usage as an extra line below:
Like this or below, etc.

I think that’s the closest.

yes, this it.
Using this decluttering card myself:

card:
  type: custom:multiple-entity-row
  entity: switch.[[entity]]
  state_color: true
  toggle: true
  secondary_info: last-changed
  entities:
    - entity: sensor.[[entity]]_actueel
      name: Actueel
      unit: Watt
    - entity: sensor.[[entity]]_totaal
      name: Totaal
      unit: kWh
  sort:
    method: name

resulting in:

Hm… it seems that one can only do this when the entire card is a “type: custom:multiple-entity-row”.

I have a card with multiple entities:

show_header_toggle: false
title: card
type: entities
state_color: false
entities:
  - entity: cover.1
    secondary_info: last-changed
  - entity: cover.2
    secondary_info: last-changed
  - entity: light.1
    secondary_info: last-changed
  - entity: switch.2
    secondary_info: last-changed
    state_color: true
  - entity: light.2
    secondary_info: last-changed
  - entity: light.3
  - entity: switch.1
    type: 'custom:multiple-entity-row'
    secondary_info: last-changed
    entities:
      - sensor.1_watt
  - entity: switch.3_switch
    type: 'custom:multiple-entity-row'
    secondary_info: last-changed
    entities:
      - sensor.3_watt

I then get:
image

But when I try to add:

name:
unit:

or
name: false

to get rid of the name “wallswitch-1 - watt” above the watts

Like:

show_header_toggle: false
title: card
type: entities
state_color: false
entities:
  - entity: cover.1
    secondary_info: last-changed
  - entity: cover.2
    secondary_info: last-changed
  - entity: light.1
    secondary_info: last-changed
  - entity: switch.2
    secondary_info: last-changed
    state_color: true
  - entity: light.2
    secondary_info: last-changed
  - entity: light.3
  - entity: switch.1
    type: 'custom:multiple-entity-row'
    secondary_info: last-changed
    entities:
      - sensor.1_watt
        name: false
  - entity: switch.3_switch
    type: 'custom:multiple-entity-row'
    secondary_info: last-changed
    entities:
      - sensor.3_watt
        name: false

It does not work…

EDIT:
It does work after this:

  - entity: switch.wallswitch03_switch
    state_color: true
    toggle: true
    type: 'custom:multiple-entity-row'
    secondary_info: last-changed
    entities:
      - entity: sensor.wallswitch03_watt
        name: Power

Can you show how you did this?

sure, but what isnt clear? the decluttering template is above, and all you need are entities to fill those.

I have switches and sensors like

switch.espresso_keuken
sensor.espresso_keuken_actueel
sensor.espresso_keuken_totaal

that’s all there is to it really, and the final frontend Lovelace card is:

type: entities
title: Switches multiple ent
show_header_toggle: false
entities:

  - type: custom:decluttering-card
    template: switches_multiple_entity
    variables:
      - entity: boiler_bijkeuken

  - type: custom:decluttering-card
    template: switches_multiple_entity
    variables:
      - entity: freezer_bijkeuken

  - type: custom:decluttering-card
    template: switches_multiple_entity
    variables:
      - entity: wasdroger_bijkeuken

etc
etc
etc
