🔹 template-entity-row - Put templates in an entities row

hey David, Maybe also +1 on the Fr for the toggle

Is it possible for the secondary info to have multi line output? I can’t seem to inject any kind of of new line character in the template.

anyone else seeing issues on the template-entity-row card in HA115.
I am using this on templates built by Python at startup, which apparently is not very well digested (too late for the engine, causing the full startup to take a very long time.) either by HA, or by the T-e-r card.

there’s a fix for HA planned for several of these timing issues, maybe T-e-r card would need some extra attention

I’m trying to get template-entity-row to show localized state which in my case I think should be like this:

state: "_(state.binary_sensor.door.{{states('binary_sensor.balkongdorr_sovrum_tmpl')}})"

which shows up like this:

…not really the way I expected.

But this actually works:

state: "_(component.binary_sensor.state.door.{{states('binary_sensor.balkongdorr_sovrum_tmpl')}})"

Am I doing something wrong (that just accidentally happened to work) or has something changed and the docs should be updated?

having made this verbose template:

  - type: custom:auto-entities
    card:
      type: entities
      title: Person address trackers
    filter:
      include:
        - entity_id: person.*_address
          options:
            type: custom:template-entity-row
            secondary: >
              {{state_attr(config.entity,'road')}} {{state_attr(config.entity,'house_number')}},{{state_attr(config.entity,'postcode')}} {{state_attr(config.entity,'town') if state_attr(config.entity,'town') else state_attr(config.entity,'city')}}, {{state_attr(config.entity,'country')}}

I suppose there could be a better way…
but, don’t see it right now, so turning to the community here.

Please have a look? thanks!

Is this HACS add-in still working?

I just get ‘custom element doesn’t exist: template-entity-row’

I’ve installed it using up-to-date HACS (1.9.0) whilst running 2020-12-1 and also restarted HA.

DavidFW1960 · January 2, 2021, 4:53am

I am using it with no problems

ianadd · January 2, 2021, 6:36am

Maybe it is the act of installing it in the current HA version.??
I got round it by using card-templater instead.

DavidFW1960 · January 2, 2021, 7:02am

I have been using it for ages with no issues and now in 2021.1.0b1 and all is good…

ianadd · January 2, 2021, 7:17am

Thanks for the prod David,
I typed my card definition in long-hand rather than a cut and paste and it works !

Hello Thomas,
thanks for this plugin.
Can i ask for you help for something similar:
I try to get this:

the problem i have is that i can’t manage to get the title to work with template as you do in your post because i use a different type of entity (i want the time to be the bigger as possible).
i try with this code:

type: entity
entity: sensor.time
name: '{{states(''sensor.date_fr'')}}'

but i get:

void · June 30, 2021, 8:43am

two questions:

I try to mimic secondary_info: last-changed from a normal in entity

secondary: "{{ relative_time(states[config.entity].last_changed) }}" works fine but isn’t translated in the UI.

any wordaround?

2nd: when using card_mod is there a way to color just the icon and the entity value?

This gives me a full colored row and icon:

        card_mod:
          style: |
            {% if states(config.entity) | float > 23 %}
               :host {
                 --paper-item-icon-color: red;
                 color: red
               }
            {% elif states(config.entity) | float < 21 %}
               :host {
                 --paper-item-icon-color: blue;
                 color: blue
               }
            {% else %}
               :host {
                 --paper-item-icon-color: green;
                 color: green
               }
            {% endif %}

Thanks =)

Can I pass attribute values to a script on tap_action with this?

gooorooo · September 20, 2021, 12:37am

Is it work with Banner Card? I’ve tried to add it, but the card shows nothing.
Same entry works fine for built-in Entities Card.

type: custom:banner-card
heading:
  - Bedroom
background: url("/local/images/bedroom.jpg")
entities:
  - entity: sensor.zwave_temp_bedroom_air_temperature
    name: Temperature
  - entity: sensor.zwave_temp_bedroom_humidity
    name: Humidity
  - entity: switch.zwave_plug_bedroom
    name: Purifier
  - type: custom:template-entity-row
    name: AC Power Rounded
    state: '{{ states.sensor.zwave_plug_ac_electric_consumed_w.state | round }}'

Can anyone help?

Just started learning this nice card, have a question about localized strings:

      - type: custom:template-entity-row
        name: name
        secondary: |
          {{ '_(ui.common.previous)'  }}
        icon: mdi:car

The result for the “secondary” is “Back”.

Is it possible to do any operations with the localized string?
For example, I need smth like this:

          {{ '_(ui.common.previous)'.lower()  }}

to convert “Back” to “back”.
But it does not work since the “_()” is resolved after the template works.

Can this be combined with the slider-entity-row?

woodmj74 · November 28, 2021, 6:12pm

Wondering if anyone had an experience with nested attributes? I’ve got myself stuck here:

This works…

 - entity: sensor.rpi_monitor_piholeprimary
   name: Memory
   type: custom:template-entity-row
   state: |
     {{ states.sensor.rpi_monitor_piholeprimary.attributes['memory']['size_mb']}}

But this doesn’t…

 - entity: sensor.rpi_monitor_piholeprimary
   name: Memory
   type: custom:template-entity-row
   state: |
     {{ states.config.entity.attributes['memory']['size_mb']}}

Could be argued that I should just use it the way it works, but this forms part of a template using the decluttering card which I’m reusing. The entity is being passed in by the decluttering card (proven to work) so the use of config.entity is key for me.

If I just try to get the memory object that works fine both ways, just can’t get to the attributes of the memory.

Any pointers or suggestions really appreciated. Thanks!

Mariusthvdb · November 28, 2021, 10:00pm

if size_mb is part of the attributes memory object, you might want to try:

{{state_attr(config.entity,'memory').size_mb}}

ofc, test in dev tools with

{{state_attr('sensor.rpi_monitor_piholeprimary','memory').size_mb}}

to be sure

woodmj74 · November 28, 2021, 10:12pm

Brilliant thanks @Mariusthvdb - I’d tried various combinations and just couldn’t get it. That works a treat thank you

I want to show the alexa timer as counter and have two questions:

a. This should be easier, but how?

{% set timer = strptime(states('sensor.echo_show_5_next_timer'),'%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z')-now() %}
{% set sekunden = timer.seconds %}
{% set stunden = sekunden // 3600 %}
{% set sekunden = sekunden - (stunden * 3600) %}
{% set minuten = sekunden // 60 %}
{% set sekunden = sekunden - (minuten * 60 ) %}
{% if stunden >= 10 %}
  {% set stundentext = stunden ~ ":" %}
{% elif stunden > 0 %}
  {% set stundentext = 0 ~ stunden ~ ":" %}
{% endif %}
{{stundentext}}{{ minuten }}:{{ sekunden }}

Anyway, it is working, e.g. 22:12

b. Main question: But If I use this as state in this row, it is not updating every second. How is it possible to get it updated every second?
