condition option does not work until reload

[akasma74]

HA: 0.106.6 This component: 1.1.0 Browser: Safari, Chrome OS X 10.11.6

This simple config does not hide input_number regardless of the automation's state. It only changes when I reload the page in my browser. A commented string makes it work but it's not ideal.

type: entities
entities:
  - entity: automation.ventilation_1st_floor_bathroom_extractor_fan_turn_on_by_humdity_gradient
    name: by humidity gradient

  - type: custom:template-entity-row
    entity: input_number.ventilation_1st_floor_bathroom_shower_humidity_threshold
    #entity_ids: automation.ventilation_1st_floor_bathroom_extractor_fan_turn_on_by_humdity_gradient
    condition: "{{ is_state('automation.ventilation_1st_floor_bathroom_extractor_fan_turn_on_by_humdity_gradient', 'on') }}"

Your commented row is the solution. The template engine (which is part of Home Assistant and nothing I can change) fails to extract the correct entity to monitor for state changes from your template for some reason. The solution when that happens is to specify it manually,

[akasma74]

Thanks for confirming. Again - shouldn't it be reflected in the description somehow? And do you remember changing something in the component in a similar situation - what is the diffrence, could you explain?

[thomasloven]

The fix then was to make it use entity: as if it was entity_ids if entity_ids was not supplied. That made it work better with config.entity in the templates.

[akasma74]

Yes, clearly a different issue. Thanks for the info.

So basically entity_ids is the same as entity in template_sensor? I still believe it's vital to add this information to the card's description ;)

[thomasloven]

Yes, I'll add it. I left it out at first to see necessary it was.
