I’ve tried it with the custom-bar-card:
type: custom:auto-entities
filter:
include:
- entity_id: '*temp*'
exclude: []
card:
type: custom:bar-card
It’s only an example. Did you find the sheet “Card” and “change card type”?
type: custom:auto-entities
show_empty: false
card:
title: 4PM Games
type: entities
filter:
include:
- attributes:
team_homeaway: "away"
date: "*T20*"
This does filter entities correctly, showing only those with an “Away” game played at 4:xxPM. But that’s using the entities card.
Results in this:
If I try to use the custom:nfl-card, I end up with an empty card. That’s whether or not I add an entities list, use the parameter for include/entity_id like your example or add the card_param option. Nothing I tried results in the auto entities filling the entity parameter of the NFL-card.
type: custom:auto-entities
show_empty: false
card:
title: 4PM Games
type: custom:nfl-card
entity: []
outline: true
outline_color: deeppink
card_param: entity
filter:
include:
- attributes:
team_homeaway: away
date: '*T20*'
What happens if you try like this:
type: custom:auto-entities
show_empty: false
card:
title: 4PM Games
type: custom:nfl-card
filter:
include:
- attributes:
team_homeaway: away
date: '*T20*'That also stays empty. But wait, is it possible the auto-entities card can only result in 1 card being shown? I.e. it works in our attempts with the entities or bar card because those can show more than 1 entity at once? I tried using the vertical stack as card type for auto-entities but then I don’t think there’s a way.
Actually while typing, just found out you can combine the auto-entities card with another one called layout-card. However I can’t seem to make the layout-card display the custom: nfl-card.
I have a new idea:
maybe you can use an array an loop for each club:
type: vertical-stack
title: AFC East
variables:
array: ['nfl_nyj', 'nfl_buf', 'nfl_mia', 'nfl_ne']
cards:
{% for club in array %}
{% if is_state_attr('sensor.{{club}}', 'team_homeaway', 'away') %}
- type: custom:nfl-card
entity: sensor.{{club}}
outline: true
outline_color: deeppink
{%endif%}
{%endfor%}That looked promising and would be exactly what I’m trying to do, however it returns a syntax error with “missed comma between flow collection entries (6:4)”. If I add a comma as it’s requesting, I’m either getting an error for bad indentation later at ‘sensor’ or it complains about double quotes.
I modified the code above from my automation. Maybe it doesn’t work in cards. what about:
type: vertical-stack
title: AFC East
cards:
{% set my_array as [ 'nfl_nyj', 'nfl_buf', 'nfl_mia', 'nfl_ne' ] %}
{% for club in my_array %}
{% if is_state_attr('sensor.{{club}}', 'team_homeaway', 'away') %}
- type: custom:nfl-card
entity: sensor.{{club}}
outline: true
outline_color: deeppink
{%endif%}
{%endfor%}
Edit: I changed the array to my_array. Maybe the word is the problem.
Trying something else to confirm whether that’s working at all. So I just pasted this in the developer tools template editor. The state attributes given should return nfl_pit as it’s the only one “away”, played at UTC 00:xx and broadcasted on NBC. I.e. the Sunday Night game from yesterday.
It returns no result.
How do we define that the array options are set as “club” in this template?
{% set array = [ 'nfl_pit', 'nfl_buf', 'nfl_mia', 'nfl_ne' ] %}
{% for club in array %}
{% if ( is_state_attr('sensor.{{club}}', 'team_homeaway', 'away') and is_state_attr('sensor.{{club}}', 'tv_network', 'nbc') and ('T00'
in state_attr('sensor.{{club}}','date')) ) %}
{%- endif %}
{%- endfor %}
I don’t know, if we may use the word “array”, so i changed to my_array. Could you try this?
You didn’t give him anything to do. For testing you should insert {{ club }} between the if statement:
{% set array = [ 'nfl_pit', 'nfl_buf', 'nfl_mia', 'nfl_ne' ] %}
{% for club in array %}
{% if ( is_state_attr('sensor.{{club}}', 'team_homeaway', 'away') and is_state_attr('sensor.{{club}}', 'tv_network', 'nbc') and ('T00'
in state_attr('sensor.{{club}}','date')) ) %}
{{ club }}
{%- endif %}
{%- endfor %}
Now it should return the club which agrees to your template.
Maybe I forgot the quotes:
type: vertical-stack
title: AFC East
cards:
{% set my_array as [ 'nfl_nyj', 'nfl_buf', 'nfl_mia', 'nfl_ne' ] %}
{% for club in my_array %}
{% if is_state_attr('sensor.{{club}}', 'team_homeaway', 'away') %}
- type: custom:nfl-card
entity: "sensor.{{club}}"
outline: true
outline_color: deeppink
{%endif%}
{%endfor%}
Try this. I think, we are getting nearer. 
You cannot actively build YAML configuration with templates. Think of YAML as a form with various fields (item, quantity, size, color, etc). You can use templates to dynamically fill in the value for a field, but the structure of the form is static.
But how to get this work? The auto-entity card doesn’t work for him.
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: vertical-stack
title: AFC East
card_param: cards
filter:
template: >-
{%- set object_ids = [ 'nfl_nyj', 'nfl_buf', 'nfl_mia', 'nfl_ne' ] %}
{%- set ns = namespace(cards=[]) %}
{%- for object_id in object_ids %}
{%- set entity_id = 'sensor.' ~ object_id %}
{%- if is_state(entity_id, 'team_homeaway', 'away') %}
{%- set ns.cards = ns.cards + [{'type': 'custom:nfl-card', 'entity': entity_id, 'outline': True, 'outline_color': 'deeppink'}] %}
{%- endif %}
{%- endfor %}
{{ ns.cards }}

Thanks @petro for chiming in!
That’s pretty much the solution. Only difference being that we’re looking at an attribute in the if statement. I also added ‘T17’ in the if statement for future reference in case someone else wants the example. That filters games from sensors in the object_ids list per team Away, played at T17 UTC.

In case anyone’s interested (or should I post this somewhere else?), complete dashboard with all teams, games split per time.
Custom components needed: ha-nfl sensor, ha-nfl-card, auto-entities card.

Thank you Petro. You are a real M A S T E R !!!
Excuse my ignorance here, but this doesn’t work. A simple copy/paste of this has a ton of formatting issues and missing items. Can you go into the code editor and copy/paste EXACTLY what should be pasted in our auto-entities card? Seems there is missing a few options above the - icon.
That is 7 auto-entities cards inside a view. You can 100% copy each card yourself.
Copy what’s in the red box, as that’s the first auto-entities card. The second starts the line below it. Remove the leading spaces but maintain interior indentation.
EDIT: The marked solution contains the individual card.
Thanks!! I figured I was missing something simple here lol. I’ve only been using HA for a couple weeks and still learning how to make things. Couldn’t wrap my head around why I kept having a bunch of errors.
Been using this now since I got it all configured last month but noticed that during the last week or so, saturday games show under monday night football, and I suspect during the playoffs, there may be other instances of this. So to make it simpler, I simply have everything in 1 card that is all the games playing that week without being separated by the T## in the date.
However, I was surprised to see that there was no sort option for date. Is there a way to add that so I can just sort the games by when they are playing?
