[Config Support]: Added Filter Based on Day of week

[albertlt]

Describe the problem you are having or the outcome you are trying to achieve.

Hello. First of all, thank you for the great blueprint. I added filter to run the automation based on certain days (Monday, Tuesday, ...). So far it worked correctly but I am not sure if my approach is right. I will explain the changes below and please let me know if the implementation is correct.

By the way, I also need to check state from multiple entity in the state filter but I don't know how to do that. Can you please add that functionality to next release?

Something like: run the automation if input_boolean.HomeAlarm is ON AND input_boolean.MasterSwitch is ON. Basically, I need all entities evaluation to be true before executing the notification.

Anyway, back to topic, here is my modification:

STEP 1 - REGISTER NEW VARIABLE Add :

input_day_filter: !input day_filter day_filter: '{{ input_day_filter | list }}'

To :

variables: input_camera: !input camera camera: '{{ input_camera | regex_replace(''^camera.'', '''') }}' …

STEP 2 - CREATE NEW INPUT SECTION Add :

day_filter: name: Day Filter (Optional) description: Select days to receive notifications default: [] selector: select: options:

• label: Monday value: "0"
• label: Tuesday value: "1"
• label: Wednesday value: "2"
• label: Thursday value: "3"
• label: Friday value: "4"
• label: Saturday value: "5"
• label: Sunday value: "6" multiple: true custom_value: false

To :

filters: name: '# Filters

    '
  description: These are Filter Options
  icon: mdi:filter
  collapsed: true
  input:
    zone_filter:
    …

STEP 3 – EVALUATE CONDITION Add :

• condition: template value_template: > {{ day_filter | length == 0 or now().weekday() | string in day_filter }}

To :

• alias: Frigate Event conditions:
  • condition: trigger id: frigate-event
  • '{{ is_state(this.entity_id, ''on'') }}' ….

Attached is full modified yaml file renamed to txt extension so I can upload it here. Please kindly have a look. Thank you.

Btw, the editor automatically converted - to bullet points :( Maybe better to just refer to attached yaml file :)

Seems like a working filter. It would be great if you could add it as a pull request to the beta blueprint.
