Hmmm, yes,I had the same approach working before switching to templating.
But I am trying to pass the area as the respective name and for that I think I have to use filter: template:

Might be making some progress. I couldn't get your namespace to return anything.

fervent ruin Dec 14, 2023, 12:41 AM

#

So. new, simplified approach:

#

card:
  type: thermostat
card_param: cards
filter:
  template: |-
    {% set ns = namespace(list=[]) %}  

        {% for item in states.climate | selectattr('entity_id', 'search', 'eq3', ignorecase=True) %}
          {% set ns.list = ns.list + [ item ] %}
        {% endfor %}
      
    {% for item in ns.list -%}
      {{ "entity": item.entity_id }}
    {%- endfor %}
sort:
  method: friendly_name

#

Gives error

Specify an entity from within the climate domain
cards: []
type: thermostat

#

And I am guessing the namespace list is not a list because it returns in Template Editor:

Result type: string
climate.eq3_living_room_climateclimate.eq3_dining_room_climateclimate.eq3_master_bedroom_climateclimate.eq3_guest_toilet_climateclimate.eq3_office_climateclimate.eq3_kitchen_climateclimate.eq3_master_bathroom_climateclimate.eq3_walk_in_climate
This template listens for the following state changed events:

Domain: climate```

Yeah. Thats the problem I'm running into and my template is way more simple. Works with an entity card. It is weird that the error is telling me the entities to use...yaml type: custom:auto-entities card: type: thermostat filter: template: | {{ states.climate | map ( attribute = 'entity_id' ) | list }}

#

I'm getting my climate entities but it just isn't going into the card. I can't figure out how to have a grid there and then the cards like used in the include: section.

#

['climate.heatpump', 'climate.hvac', 'climate.ecobee']

fervent ruin Dec 14, 2023, 12:45 AM

#

i think your error is related to the thermostat card only being able to display one entity. So "entities" is not supported?

#

This outputs multiple thermostats:

#

type: custom:auto-entities
card:
  type: grid
  columns: 2
card_param: cards
filter:
  include:
    - entity_id: climate.eq3*
      options:
        type: thermostat
sort:
  method: friendly_name

lilac sequoia Dec 14, 2023, 12:51 AM

#

Yeah. But that doesn't incorporate your template.

fervent ruin Dec 14, 2023, 12:51 AM

#

So that needs adjusting to use templates

#

Yes, but it seems that the grid is required to create multiple thermostat cards. The thermostat card itself cannot do it

lilac sequoia Dec 14, 2023, 12:53 AM

#

Agreed. But I couldn't figure out how to have a filter > include and template at the same time.

fervent ruin Dec 14, 2023, 12:57 AM

#

First step working

#

type: custom:auto-entities
card:
  type: grid
  columns: 2
card_param: cards
sort:
  method: friendly_name
filter:
  template: |-
    {% set ns = namespace(list=[]) %}  

        {% for item in states.climate | selectattr('entity_id', 'search', 'eq3', ignorecase=True) %}
          {% set ns.list = ns.list + [ item ] %}
        {% endfor %}
      
      {% for item in ns.list -%}
      {{
        {
          "type": "thermostat",
          "entity": item.entity_id
        }
      }},
      {%- endfor %}

#

Now I need to create a second namespace for the names and pass along "name": names.entity_id or something like that. Not really good with namespaces etc 😦

lilac sequoia Dec 14, 2023, 12:59 AM

#

Is this correct? I got rid of it because my entities don't start with eq3.
| selectattr('entity_id', 'search', 'eq3', ignorecase=True)

#

It works. Changed to ec and it found the Ecobee entitiy.

fervent ruin Dec 14, 2023, 1:02 AM

#

Got it!!!

type: custom:auto-entities
card:
  type: grid
  columns: 2
card_param: cards
sort:
  method: friendly_name
filter:
  template: |-
    {% set ns = namespace(list=[]) %}  

        {% for item in states.climate | selectattr('entity_id', 'search', 'eq3', ignorecase=True) %}
          {% set ns.list = ns.list + [ item ] %}
        {% endfor %}
      
      {% for item in ns.list -%}
      {{
        {
          "type": "thermostat",
          "entity": item.entity_id,
          "name": area_name(item.entity_id)
        }
      }},
      {%- endfor %}

#

And yes, you need to change the "eq3" because my TRVs are climate.eq3*

lilac sequoia Dec 14, 2023, 1:03 AM

#

One thing that is cool about your last code, if the entity does not have an area, it shows the friendly_name.
