Current Behavior

Unable to access sensors from options in the setup of the card

Where as the documentation says that I should?

The same holds true for all the other text_input fields that I have tested so far

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create the sensor same as below

- name: "EDB I1 Battery Shutdown SOC"
    unique_id: edb_i1_battery_shutdown_soc
    unit_of_measurement: "%"
    icon: mdi:battery-outline
    device_class: battery
    state: >
      {% if states('input_text.edb_i1_battery_shutdown_soc_input_text') | is_number %}
        {% set battery_soc = states('input_text.edb_i1_battery_shutdown_soc_input_text')  | float | round(0) %}
      {% else %}
        {% set battery_soc = 'None' %}
      {% endif %}
      {{ battery_soc }}

2. Create Input_text feild for edb_i1_battery_shutdown_soc_input_text
3. Reload Yaml
4. Set value for input_text.edb_i1_battery_shutdown_soc_input_text
5. Input sensor.edb_i1_battery_shutdown_soc into Battery Options under Shutdown SOC and note that the card does not accept the value ( the input is underlined in red... see above )

Expected behaviour

According to the documentation and dashboard example ( see https://github.com/slipx06/Sunsynk-Home-Assistant-Dash/blob/main/Dashboard.yaml) ) provided I would like to see the data from the sensors be pulled through to the cards configuration

Card Version

v4.37.0

Home Assistant Version

2024.5.3

Configuration

Thanks I'll take a look. Some of the fields were updated to accept both a string/number or entity. I'm not sure the visual editor supports both. For now you have to switch to the code editor.
