I have a nice picture element dashboard. Befor that I cnaged pictures only with .light entities. But now I do want to do the same with entities of cover. type.
As you can understand, they do not have “on/off” state
Please advice whether I can use one of the attributes (position) in picture elements, or please advice how to create binary timeplate that would have on/offf depending on a state of my covers…
Please post a simplified code for the part “change some picture depending on a light entity”.
My typical code is:
- type: image
entity: light.lina_light_l2
tap_action: none
hold_action: none
state_image:
'on': /hacsfiles/plan/Ver3/Lenta_lina.png
'off': /hacsfiles/plan/Ver3/transparent_square.png
unavailable: /hacsfiles/plan/Ver3/transparent_square.png
style:
top: 50%
left: 50%
width: 100%
That works fine with lights., but gives an error with cover. entities
In general, assume some sensor.xyz has some fixed values “value_1”, “value_2”:
entity: sensor.xyz
state_image:
'value_1': ...
'value_2': ...
Try this with cover entity since you know it’s possible values.
