Update on OR-condition for conditional cards?

New here, so bare with me. Mostly using the visual editor, but can understand the code.

I’m trying to create a conditional card with an OR condition. After trying it every which way, I googled it, and realized I’m not the only one facing the same issue. This was in 2022 though, so I’m wondering what ended up happening to that feature request.

Basically, I have the HA companion app on my phone, and I want to setup a conditional card that only displays when the battery level is below x percent (entity numeric state) OR when the phone is in a charging state (entity state). Individually, they both work, but if I have both under the OR condition, nothing gets displayed since both conditions are not met.

I made a work-around by creating 2 conditional cards in place of 1. One card only pops up when the battery level drops below 51% OR (which is treated like an AND – I can probably change this without it breaking) state is NOT equal to = charging. This serves as my que to “top up” my phone. The second card only pops up when I’m charging. Not really ideal, but better than always on or only 1 or all conditions.

Anyways, any help is much appreciated.

That thread you linked is not having the same issue, that was from before the OR condition was implemented.

As far as I know there are no bugs with the OR condition.

Can you please give a YAML paste of a card with OR visibility condition that is not working?

Note you have to make sure both conditions are set inside the OR condition, not above or below it.

You are doing the OR wrong.

It does not go between conditions. Both conditions go inside the OR.

Thank you!

Thank you! Was procrastinating the trouble shooting. I’m sure that’s all it is, that I need both conditions inside the OR condition. Was setting it below. Newbie here.

Was getting around by simply making additional conditional cards.
