I’m trying to control my blinds using a slider that gives a Restful command to deCONZ API.
For this I’ve configured an input number entity as slider and an automation to trigger on state change.
In the restful command payload in configuration.yaml I’m trying to add in a template that gets the state of the input_number.
With the help of some very smart people in discord and looking at this topic: Topic, we came up with the following template:
payload: "{{ {'lift': states('input_number.percentage_side_blinds') | int(0)} }}"
However, this results in a correct template that’s been accepted by the config BUT this template results in "{ 'lift' : <slider_value> }" and for the payload to be correct I need it to be '{ "lift" : <slider_value> }'
The following template results in the correct message '{ "lift" : <value> }' for the payload but this is not accepted in configuration.yaml.
'{"lift":{{ states('input_number.percentage_side_blinds')|int(0)}}}'
So, still looking for a template that will give me the correct result for the payload and is accepted in configuration.yaml.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
