Do you want to run the command then the helper changes, or must the helper’s value be passed to the command?

For the former, make an automation that triggers on the helper’s state.

For the latter, pass the state as a template by adding {{ states('input_text.gpr_key') }} to your command.

for the start, value be passed … i ll try this for now

    command_on: "sshpass -p mypasshere ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no root@alsserverii /mnt/user/appdata/openconnect/testsed.sh {{ states('input_text.gpr_key') }}"

then the automation should be setup, but i would need the passed state in the cmdline anyhow, correct ?
