Variables in if statements

Configuration
1

HI All,

Can someone tell me if this will work?
I use variables to make the script more readable.

  variables:
    door_sensor: binary_sensor.neo_diningroomdoor_custom_sensor
    kay: switch.kay_learning
    adaptive: "{{ states('sensor.adaptive_lighting_color_temperature')| round(0) }}"
    media_player: media_player.woonkamer

Below in script use the variables in if statements, here a example part:

          {% if states('door_sensor') == 'on' and states('kay') == 'on' %} 100
          {% elif states('door_sensor') == 'on' and states('kay') == 'off' %} 0
          {% elif states('door_sensor') == 'off' and states('kay') == 'on' %} 100
          {% else %} 50
          {% endif %}

But im not sure if this is possble.
Here whole script (1 of 6 in total)

What you want to do should be totally fine, however, you need to remove the quotes around the variables, otherwise it will think it’s a string.

Thank you! So it will become like this:

          {% if states(door_sensor) == 'on' and states(kay) == 'on' %} 100
          {% elif states(door_sensor) == 'on' and states(kay) == 'off' %} 0
          {% elif states(door_sensor) == 'off' and states(kay) == 'on' %} 100
          {% else %} 50
          {% endif %}

WIll change it and make my scripts more readable and shorter :smiley:

Exactly, you can simplify this.
When states(kay) is on it will always be 100, no matter if the states(door_sensor) is on or off. So you can remove states(door_sensor) == 'on' from the first line and remove the third line completely.

Damn, indeed… was blind to see this. Thanks also !!! Will check some more of those combinations.
