Somthing that I really surprised is not yet a thing is to create a view lovelace dashboard that builds according a variable (that then can be used in cards as filters for example)
In my use case, I would like to create a standarized dashboard for rooms (Area). So it just lists all devices in the room, in the templated dashboard that I created. The issues comes primarly when I like to change this “default” view as now copy pasting is not very helpfull anymore.
Here some examples:
Overview Dashboard loading the different room:
First room as example
Second room in comparison
All I would need is a variable filter for the Area for this to be fully dynamic:
I have also created a second dashboard build on a Dropdown, but here its the issue that is global for all users and also very limited cards do support it:
- theme: Backend-selected
title: lander
path: lander
badges: []
cards:
- type: entities
entities:
- input_select.dash_area_selector
- type: custom:auto-entities
filter:
template: >-
{{ expand(states.light) |selectattr('entity_id', 'in',
area_entities(states('input_select.dash_area_selector')))|map(attribute='entity_id')|list}}
show_empty: true
card:
type: entities
title: Lichter
- type: custom:auto-entities
filter:
template: >-
{{ expand(states.cover) |selectattr('entity_id', 'in',
area_entities(states('input_select.dash_area_selector')))|map(attribute='entity_id')|list}}
show_empty: true
card:
type: entities
title: Storen
- type: custom:auto-entities
filter:
template: >-
{{ expand(states.switch) |selectattr('entity_id', 'in',
area_entities(states('input_select.dash_area_selector')))|map(attribute='entity_id')|list}}
show_empty: true
card:
type: entities
title: Schalter
- type: custom:auto-entities
filter:
template: >-
{{ expand(states.input_button) |selectattr('entity_id', 'in',
area_entities(states('input_select.dash_area_selector')))|map(attribute='entity_id')|list}}
show_empty: true
card:
type: entities
title: Trigger
- type: custom:auto-entities
filter:
template: >-
{{ expand(states.media_player) |selectattr('entity_id', 'in',
area_entities(states('input_select.dash_area_selector')))|map(attribute='entity_id')|list}}
show_empty: false
card:
type: entities
title: Mediaplayer
Finally found a way to do this:
Create cards that can be re-used, updated, and handle templated data. - GitHub - daredoes/linked-lovelace-ui: Create cards that can be re-used, updated, and handle templated data.
Absolutly loving it. Am now able to create a template for an area.
