Hello everyone,
i don’t understand why this template doesn’t work?
type: picture-elements
image: /local/images/camoff_cell.png
camera_image: |
[[[
if (states['switch.cam_privacy'].state == 'off' )
return "camera.cam_hd_stream";
return "";
]]]
camera_view: live
aspect_ratio: "1.3"
elements:
.....
I also tried like this:
type: picture-elements
image: /local/images/camoff_cell.png
camera_image: |
{% if is_state('switch.cam_privacy', 'off') %}
camera.cam_hd_stream
{% else %}
""
{% endif %}
camera_view: live
aspect_ratio: "1.3"
elements:
.....
can someone help me?

I also tried like this:
You may keep trying with other unsupported staff - but better read Docs & see what is supported.
Templates are not supported by picture-elements card.
Your only possible way is to place picture-elements card inside a “wrapper” card which does support templates - like config-template-card, card-templater. Each card has docs & dedicated threads in Community, you may ask details there.

ok…maybe it can be useful to someone else: I solved it like this:
type: custom:config-template-card
variables:
PRIVACY: states['switch.cam_privacy'].state
entities:
- switch.cam_privacy
card:
type: picture-elements
image: /local/images/camoff_cell.png
camera_image: "${PRIVACY === 'off' ? 'camera.cam_hd_stream' : ''}"
camera_view: live
aspect_ratio: "1.3"
elements:
.....
Thank you!

Never tested camera entity inside config-template-card (CTC), does it work fine?
