@hardy pecan requested I bring this templating issue to you all for assistance. Original thread, https://discord.com/channels/330944238910963714/1054144517370028065. I am wanting to trigger my WLED playlist whenever my football team scores. I have the HACS https://github.com/zacs/ha-nfl working and I see sensor.philadelphia_eagles with various attributes. I only want to trigger the automation when a touchdown is scored, >=6 points and not for a field goal 3 points.

The sensor state IN means game is active and the attribute team_score seems to be what we'll need to use. I don't know how best to store or get the previous value to compare to the new value so I can determine the type of score. How best do you all suggest doing this? Attributes below, but game ended so some values don't apply.

Thanks, hoping someone can help refine a complete solution. I think this will be really cool if I can get it working.

{{ trigger.to_state.attribute.whatever|int(0) - trigger.from_state.attribute.whatever|int(0) >= 6 }}
``` was what I shared before

#

Looks like your whatever is team_score

oh so i don't need to store and recall anything for the previous values as they are actually stored in the trigger data?

hardy pecan Dec 18, 2022, 9:43 PM

#

Yes, see the link I posted

By default is the conditions section "AND" configuration or do I need to wrap them in an "AND" condition? I want to be sure the game sensor is "IN" meaning a game is being played and the difference is 6 or greater.

There are three sections to an automation:

trigger: When any one of these becomes true the automation starts processing. Only one trigger is ever responsible for starting an automation, if you make a condition that checks for more than one having started the automation then the condition can never be true.
condition: These are checked after a trigger starts the processing, and must be true for the automation to continue.
action: This is the part that does something, and can also include further conditions.

Check the doc links there for the details, but conditions are and by default

Thanks. i was trying to post image but cant seem to in this thread. I think I have not all configure then. I'll test with another team playing since mine is no longer. Thanks for your info!

Please use imgur or other image sharing web sites, and share the link here.

Image posting is blocked in most channels to discourage people from sharing text as images. Sharing text as images assumes that everybody sees the world as you do, which isn't the case. Some people are colour blind, or have visual impairment that means they can't make sense of an image of text.

The automation is text, in automations.yaml, that's a far nicer thing to share 😉

I manually set the sensor state to "IN" and the "team_score" to 31 (was 25). I got an error in the automation Trace.

I configured a test case with the Buccaneers and it errored with Live data. Same error:
