Switch status

[raoul]

Helllo all,

Is there the possibility on a dashboard to view the status of a switch without being able to modify it in any way? I would need for a switch that only needs to be activated via automation.
Thank you.

The entities card is showing the status of a switch… No need to change status.

Create a template binary sensor that shows the state of the switch.

I tried to do as you say, but it still gives me a chance to change switch status.

Perfect, it just writes me what state the switch is in without any possibility of changing it. That you know, is there the possibility of replacing the writing with something like a LED, red or green if necessary?
Thank you all.

Install Lovelace Restriction Card. It basically locks the entity from being toggled without a confirmation or PIN, but still shows the state.

You can add then the option to the entity (see card documentation for more details):

tap_action:
  action: none
hold_action:
  action: none
double_tap_action:
  action: none
