Hello @Spartacus68

you need to define 1 state_map per value. If defined multiple time, only the first one is used.

use

type: custom:multiple-logbook-card
desc: true
entities:
  - entity: binary_sensor.reed_input
    state_map:
      - icon: mdi:door-open
        label: geöffnet        
        value: 'on'
      - icon: mdi:door-closed
        label: geschlossen
        value: 'off'
  - entity: binary_sensor.ir_input
    state_map:
      - icon: mdi:leak
        value: 'on'
      - icon: mdi:leak-off
        value: 'off'
title: Haustür & Lichtschranke

From what I understand, you want to be able to customize the entity name, right ? When you talk about aliases, you mean assists aliases ? Can you create a separate issue for this.

[royto]

@Spartacus68 did you have the time to test using the solution provided ?

[Spartacus68]

@royto I checked this and yes, this is ok. But you can only change the icon OR the values, not both.

Means if I would like to change the icon and the value of an entity depending on its status, the only the first mapping (under state_map) will processed.

[royto]

You can change both using provided configuration ... Did you test it ?

[Spartacus68]

@royto: I checked it with my code, because your code is not working (syntax issue).

And I am not sure, if we are talking about the same thing. If you try to change the icon and the value of the SAME entity, then it does not work. In your examle, you are using two different entities (reed and ir) and then it works.

[royto]

I update the configuration in the previous response (should be valid now)

To change both icon and label for the SAME entity, set it in the same state map:

...
    state_map:
      - icon: mdi:door-open
        label: geöffnet        
        value: 'on'
...

[Spartacus68]

ok! I have it, seems to be working now.

Is there also a way to overwrite the entity name? The entity is a reed-contact but it makes more sense to say that the door is open. In my case, I would like to overwrite the entity name (Haustür Reedkontakt) with "Haustür"!

sorry for the confusion at the beginning! Spartacus

[royto]

I created a dedicated issue for this feature request. Closing this one as the problem is solved

[royto]

@Spartacus68 You can already specify a custom label for entity using the label option ...

type: custom:multiple-logbook-card
desc: true
entities:
  - entity: binary_sensor.reed_input
    label: 'Haustür'
    state_map:
      - icon: mdi:door-open
        value: 'on'
      - icon: mdi:door-closed
        value: 'off'
      - label: geschlossen
        value: 'off'
      - label: geöffnet
        value: 'on'
  - entity: binary_sensor.ir_input
    state_map:
      - icon: mdi:leak
        value: 'on'
      - icon: mdi:leak-off
        value: 'off'
title: Haustür & Lichtschranke
