Hi, I am tying to work on an automation to set the value of a text input to a sensor.
I’ve just started trying to use templates more, and just quit because of stuff like this. And advice or help for a beginner would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Hi, I am tying to work on an automation to set the value of a text input to a sensor.
Post the full automation as text
alias: Thing
description: ""
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- sensor.jiv_s_new_phone_detected_activity
condition: []
action:
- service: input_text.set_value
data:
value: "{{states('sensor.jiv_s_new_phone_detected_activity'}}"
target:
entity_id: input_text.what_j
mode: single
The ending bracket is missing. It has to be
"{{ states('sensor.jiv_s_new_phone_detected_activity') }}"
Thanks, it works
Hi,
I’m struggeling with the same problem, It doesn’t display the value of my sensor but is just displays “{{ states(‘sensor.klant_adres’) }}”
show_name: true
show_icon: true
type: button
icon_height: 50px
icon: mdi:calendar-account
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: input_text.set_value
target:
entity_id: input_text.klantadres
data:
value: "{{ states('sensor.klant_adres') }}"
name: adres kasper from calendar
The strange thing is that if I open my code again the value is shown as ‘"{{ states(’‘sensor.klant_adres’‘) }}"’ so the formatting is gone…
