Several switches template

iorifly · October 18, 2018, 12:31am

Hello, dear!
I am trying to put several switch template … But I get criticism. informs you that you are wrong. Where am I wrong?

- platform: template
    switches:
      luz_externa:
        friendly_name: Luz Externa Entrada
        value_template: "{{ is_state('input_boolean.sonoff_switch_8', 'on') }}"
        turn_on:
          service: input_boolean.turn_on
          data:
            entity_id: input_boolean.sonoff_switch_8
        turn_off:
          service: input_boolean.turn_off
          data:
            entity_id: input_boolean.sonoff_switch_8
        icon_template: >-
          {% if is_state('input_boolean.sonoff_switch_8', 'on') %}
            mdi:circle-outline
          {% else %}
            mdi:circle-outline
          {% endif %}
      Luz_Piscina:
        friendly_name: Luz Piscina
        value_template: "{{ is_state('input_boolean.sonoff_switch_5', 'on') }}"
        turn_on:
          service: input_boolean.turn_on
          data:
            entity_id: input_boolean.sonoff_switch_5
        turn_off:
          service: input_boolean.turn_off
          data:
            entity_id: input_boolean.sonoff_switch_5
        icon_template: >-
          {% if is_state('input_boolean.sonoff_switch_5', 'on') %}
            mdi:lightbulb-outline
          {% else %}
            mdi:lightbulb
          {% endif %}

what does the home-assistant.log say?

iorifly · October 18, 2018, 3:17am

In the validation part of the code I get the following message

invalid config for [switch.template]: [Luz_Piscina] is an invalid option for [switch.template]. Check: switch.template->switches->Luz_Piscina. (See ?, line ?). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/switch.template/

I think the input_boolean.turn_on and turn_off do not need the following “data:”, just

 turn_on:
   service: input_boolean.turn_on
   entity_id: input_boolean.sonoff_switch_8

iorifly · October 18, 2018, 3:27am

when I have only the first switch, everything works perfectly. The error only occurs when I try to add another swtich [pool light]

turn_on:
   service: input_boolean.turn_on
   entity_id: input_boolean.sonoff_switch_8

If I remove this lines … it does not know which entity needs to render ON.

Maybe it’s the icon_template? try comment it and test?

I tested on mine, no error, works fine:

 - platform: template
        switches:
          climate_control:
            value_template: "{{ is_state('input_boolean.climate_control', 'on') }}"
            turn_on:
              service: input_boolean.turn_on
              entity_id: input_boolean.climate_control
            turn_off:
              service: input_boolean.turn_off
              entity_id: input_boolean.climate_control
            icon_template: >-
              {% if is_state('input_boolean.climate_control', 'on') %}
                mdi:lightbulb-outline
              {% else %}
                mdi:lightbulb
              {% endif %}
          climate_control2:
            value_template: "{{ is_state('input_boolean.climate_control', 'on') }}"
            turn_on:
              service: input_boolean.turn_on
              entity_id: input_boolean.climate_control

change the capital letters in Luz_Piscina: to lower case: luz_piscina:

iorifly · October 18, 2018, 3:37am

LOLOLOL

Thank you!!! I’m restarting to see if it will display. My God why did not I think of that.

JTPublic · October 18, 2018, 3:39am

It’s the capital letters, change mine to capital letter and got the same error, strange.

BTW, may I ask why those switches? Wouldn’t the originial input_boolean works the same?

iorifly · October 18, 2018, 3:42am

I can not change the status of the icon in inputboolean … Change color etc.

JTPublic · October 18, 2018, 3:44am

Got it. Glad @finity figured that out.
