I have an EV charger that uses MQTT to publish its state on a MQTT topic
For example
1 = vehicle connected
2 = vehicle charging
3 = vehicle disconnected
How can I translate the numbers (1,2,3) into meaningful text that I can show in the dashboard?
Use a value template in your sensor configuration where you map the numbers to the desired values. Here an example how it could look like:
value_template: >
{% set map = {
'1': 'vehicle connected',
'2': 'vehicle charging',
'3': 'vehicle disconnected'
} %}
{{ map[value] if value in map else 'error' }}
Use a template sensor, .e.g. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template/#renaming-sensor-output
I get the error
missed comma between flow collection entries at line 605, column 6:
{% set map = {
^
Can you show the complete sensor code?
I think I need a comma before the last line
No, I don’t think so,can you share the complete sensor code please?
It was an indentation problem, this works, thanks!

Hi @jacoscar, I also want to integrate the Cartender Prism inside home assistant, could you share your code?

` ` `Thank you so much!
do you like to start writing an integration so other users could add prism to their hass instace with the simplicity of downloading a custom component?
I’m not very experienced but there is a lot of documentation and I think we could try!
Don’t wanna sound rude, but if OP doesn’t even know how to use the mapping solution I provided, I doubt he has the skills to create a cudtom component.
You’re right, and I don’t have time 
I am receiving a PRISM soon, any recommendations on how to integrate it
Hi, how did you implement MQTT input and MQTT command from PRISM?
