Hi everyone,
I’m relatively new to home assistant. What I want to do is create a white noise machine automation using a Spotify White Noise Track being played through a Google Nest Mini. I was able to create the automation and it works fine and can be launched through Home Assistant.
But what I want to do now is create a button that will indicate whether or not the white noise track is playing. I want the icon to show up in a different color whether or not it is playing. I created this template and it works and arrives at True in the Developer Tools Template Editor. But I can’t get it to work as part of my config.
{% set variable = state_attr('media_player.den_speaker', 'media_title')%}
{% for media_title in variable %}
{% if 'Stuck In The Middle With You' in variable %}
True
{% else %}
False
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
However I can’t get it to work in my configuration.yaml
binary_sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
stuckinthemiddle:
value_template: >-
{% set variable = state_attr('media_player.den_speaker', 'media_title')%}
{% for media_title in variable %}
{% if 'Stuck In The Middle With You' in variable %}
True
{% else %}
False
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
The Sensor is showing up in my entities but it is showing up as off. Even while the song is playing.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
