Hi there,
I need to make a slider from 1 to 20, and each value should run a shell command that is totally different, the slider value doesn’t need to be passed, the shell command has different HEX code, for example:
Slider value 0, echo -e “hex value A” | nc ip port
Slider value 1, echo -e “hex value B” | nc ip port
Slider value 2, echo -e “hex value C” | nc ip port
Etc.
Each HEX value is long and totally different.
Thanks in advance!
Is there any relation between the decimal slider value and the hex number you want to send?
If so you can use a mathematical template.
If not just use a list of the 20 hex values that is indexed by the slider, e.g.
'{{ ("0x0A", "0x0C", "0x11", ... "0x34")[states('input_number.your_slider')|int] }}'
Substitute that for the hex value in your command.
Write an automation that triggers on any change of state of the slider (state trigger with no to or from) that calls your command.
Could you please point me on what code to put slider code and where (I think in configuration.yaml), and code base for the automation that triggers the change in slider please?
Can you supply the list of hex values in the order of their corresponding 0-20 slider values?
Also what is this controlling (so I can make up some names / entity ids)?
The command I need to send is:
echo -e "HEX value" | nc 192.168.1.196 5200
Here’s the list of HEX values from 0 to 20:

What about using shell_command for this? How could I trigger proper shell command from a slider?

Your code worked perfectly! Thanks a lot!
Note: my code had problem with the HEX codes, I removed the commas and now it works.
