allow lists in blueprint selectors

tprelog commented 3 years ago

The problem

I think this is more a feature request , rather than a problem

It would be helpful to allow using a list in the selectors, when creating blueprints. For example using the device selector with model filter. The are often occasions when several models of a device should be able to share a blueprint. Like if the model name is changed to indicate a region, however the device is otherwise the same.

Environment

Home Assistant Core release with the issue: 2020.12.1
Last working Home Assistant Core release (if known): NA
Operating environment (OS/Container/Supervised/Core): Core
Integration causing this issue: Blueprints
Link to integration documentation on our website: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/blueprint/

Problem-relevant `configuration.yaml`

Another example, is the Aeotec NanoMote Quad and Aeotec WallMote Quad - From a standpoint of creating a blueprint for ozw.scene_activated events, both remotes work exactly the same.

blueprint:
  name: Aeotec Quad Remotes
  description:
  domain: automation
  input:
    aeotec_nanomote:
      name: Aeotec Quad Remotes
      description:
      selector:
          device:
            integration: ozw
            manufacturer: Aeotec Limited
            model:
              - ZWA003 NanoMote Quad
              - ZW130 WallMote Quad

Another example for inovelli switches and dimmer - There are actually four models that could be combined to a single blueprint, if they were to allow a list in the selector

blueprint:
  name: Inovelli
  description: Create automations for the Inovelli switches and dimmers using the OZW integration. 
  domain: automation
  input:
    inovelli_switch:
      name: Inovelli
      description: "List of available inovelli Switches and Dimmers
      This list is only a reference. At this time, it is not possible
      to obtain the node's id using the device selector."
      selector:
          device:
            integration: ozw
            manufacturer: Inovelli
            model:
              - LZW30-SN Switch Red Series
              - LZW31-SN Dimmer Red Series
              - NZW30 Smart Switch (w/Scene)
              - NZW31 Smart Dimmer (w/Scene)

Traceback/Error logs

Invalid blueprint: expected str for dictionary value @ data['blueprint']['input']['inovelli_switch']['selector']['model']. Got None
