State Trigger template

[thundergreen]

Hi all,

I am going crazy here. I want my input select changed once the attribute fan_mode of my climate.xxx entity changes.

the inut_select should be equal the fan_mode. The action works fine but the trigger does not.

any idea… here you go for the automation:

  - alias: Set input select mode
    initial_state: true
    trigger:
      platform: template
      value_template: "{{ state_attr('climate.air_conditioner_bedroom', 'fan_mode') }}"
    action:
      service: input_select.select_option
      data_template:
        entity_id: input_select.climate_fan_speed_bedroom
        option: "{{ state_attr('climate.air_conditioner_bedroom', 'fan_mode') }}"

Okay your template trigger needs to render true or false
Currently its not.
You should change the trigger to a state

Using this trigger:

   trigger:
     platform: state
     entity_id: climate.air_conditioner_bedroom

Will work but it will trigger a lot more often than it has to (when attributes other than the fan mode change).

So you could create a template sensor that extracts the fan mode and use that:

sensor:
- platform: template
  sensors:
    fan_mode:
      friendly_name: "Fan Mode"
      entity_id: climate.air_conditioner_bedroom
      value_template: "{{ state_attr('climate.air_conditioner_bedroom', 'fan_mode') }}"

Your trigger then becomes:

   trigger:
     platform: state
     entity_id: sensor.fan_mode

It could be done without the extra sensor, but I agree this is probably the best way. Also makes the action part a bit simpler:

    action:
      service: input_select.select_option
      data_template:
        entity_id: input_select.climate_fan_speed_bedroom
        option: "{{ trigger.to_state.state }}"

@pnbruckner

It could be done without the extra sensor

Just out of interest, how would you do it Phil?

[pnbruckner (Phil)]

Now that I’ve seen your answer, I’d do it that way!

To do it just in the automation (i.e., without the template sensor):

- trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: climate.air_conditioner_bedroom
  condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: >
      {{ trigger.from_state is none or
         trigger.to_state is not none and
         trigger.from_state.attributes.fan_mode !=
         trigger.to_state.attributes.fan_mode }}
  action:
  - service: input_select.select_option
    entity_id: input_select.climate_fan_speed_bedroom
    data_template:
      option: "{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.fan_mode }}"

[tom_l]

That makes sense. Thank you.

This is mine
But I use node red
i know its not perfect but it works what are your thoughts

Actually I’m using exactly this. And it’s working fine .thanks a lot for all your answers …was freaking out as I didn’t know that state change also listens for the attributes
