Triggering conditional card by fake switch template

I have an idea that grouping relevant switches in a conditional card (glance). And using template to create a fake switch entity to trigger it , just like a customized more detail card. But How can a switch template has a initial ‘off’ value and change while turn on/off

  • platform: template
    switches:
    broadlink_powerstrip:
    value_template: “”
    turn_on:
    turn_off:

Use Input Boolean instead of a template switch

Having said that have you seen these custom cards? I think they will both do what you are looking for

Great Thanks. It works now by using input Boolean. Tried to use the custom popup card, but can’t get it works properly in 0.86.4.
