[Question] Is a numer as active_state possible?

[g1za]

Hello, I would like to show the time until an automation is set to run and then show if it's running when the timer is over. Automation entities have an attribute ("current") that changes from 0 to 1 when running. But I guess active_state only accepts text. Am I correct? Is there a workaround? (as alternative to creating a template sensor that catches the automation status) Thank you

` entities:

• entity: automation.sonnen_8_manutenzione name: Sonnen 8 icon: mdi:battery-clock state: state_attribute: current active_state:
  • 1 start_time: entity: input_datetime.sonnen_8_lastfullcharge end_time: entity: sensor.sonnen_8_next_maintenance_full_charge text_width: 4em bar_width: calc(70% - 10em) resolution: automatic bar_direction: rtl invert: true guess_mode: true `

I discovered that the right syntax that works with numbers coming from attributes is the following one:

state_attribute: current
active_state:
  - 1
