To make the automation: Settings > Automations & scenes > Create automation button at the bottom > Create new automation.

I will try that later in the afternoon thank you so much for you‘r help.

echo sorrel
#

Okay I got this but what is the code now to change the Icon Color to red or green dependend on the state

#

{% if is_state('input_boolean.turgeoffnet' = 'false') %}
red
{% elif is_state('input_boolean.turgeoffnet' = 'true') %}
green
{% else %}
grey
{% endif %}

#

something like that?

I don't think the true/false goes in quotes. Otherwise, it will be trying to compare it to a string.

echo sorrel
#

Okay but without the quotes it also doesn't work

echo sorrel
#

also tried on and off

# 
{% if states('input_boolean.turgeoffnet') == false %}
  red
{% elif states('input_boolean.turgeoffnet') == true %}
  green
{% else %}
  grey
{% endif %}```
echo sorrel
#

Okay I think that works now because if i replace the grey it actually goes to that color!

#

Mhm but I don't get it working I can see that the State of the helper goes to on and off again an my door gets opend but the Icon Colors don't change...

echo sorrel
#

{% if states('input_boolean.turgeoffnet') == 'off' %}
red
{% elif states('input_boolean.turgeoffnet') == 'on' %}
green
{% else %}
grey
{% endif %}
