Code help

Not an issue, but I am struggling with the syntax. How do I use a sensor state into an if-result like:

secondary_info: '[[ if(sun.sun.attributes.elevation < 0, "Below", "Above") ]] the horizon'  #This works fine

secondary_info: '[[ if (binary_sensor.energy_mode_cost == "on",  "Cost {{ states('sensor.nordpool_kwh_home') }} Kr/kWh ", "") ]]' #ERROR

Please advise.

1. Try smth like this:

   secondary_info: >-
     [[ if(input_boolean.test_boolean.state == "on","Cost ",
     "") ]]
     [[ if(input_boolean.test_boolean.state == "on",zone.home.state,
     "") ]]
     [[ if(input_boolean.test_boolean.state == "on"," Kr/kWh",
     "") ]]

   Could be cumbersome - but seems to be only solution...

2. In SOME cases it is better to use a custom:template-entity-row - it supports jinja. Update: OMG, I forgot that this card does support jinja too))) - see below.

3. Suggest to ask similar questions in the dedicated Community thread (https://community.home-assistant.io/t/custom-secondary-info-for-entities-card/82551) and leave Github for reporting bugs & proposing FRs.

1. I have this working, but not when text combined with state: secondary_info: >- [[ if(input_boolean.test_boolean.state == "on", "LOOK AT" zone.home.state "TOT", "") ]]

3) Will do

1. but not when text combined with state:

Exactly. These seem to be unsupported:

"LOOK AT" zone.home.state "TOT",

"LOOK AT" + zone.home.state + "TOT",

Or you may use jinja )))

    secondary_info: >-
      {% if is_state('input_boolean.test_boolean','on') -%}
        Cost {{states('zone.home')}} Kr/kWh
      {%- endif %}

Perfect 👍🏻
