WTH: Esphome - why is there no conditional statement (part 2):

Is it possible to add something like:

  logger:
    level: (${log_level} ? ${log_level} : INFO)

if log_level is defined in the substitutions: section, then use it’s log level otherwise default to INFO, this way you can have better and more generic templates

Don’t make 2 topics for the same WTH and claim they are different by changing the syntax. Keep it to 1 WTH and throw out ideas there.
