Dashboard examples

By installing the auto-entities card, you can create cards to dynamically display the status of all of your zones.

All zones with their status, sorted by zone

type: custom:auto-entities
card:
  type: entities
  title: All zones
filter:
  include:
    - attributes:
        zone: $$*
      options:
        state_color: true
sort:
  method: attribute
  attribute: zone
  numeric: true

Zones that are currently open

type: custom:auto-entities
card:
  type: entities
  title: Open zones
filter:
  include:
    - attributes:
        zone: $$*
      state: on
      options:
        state_color: true
        secondary_info: last-updated
sort:
  method: attribute
  attribute: zone
  numeric: true

Zones that have been triggered in the last hour, ordered by the most recent

type: custom:auto-entities
card:
  type: entities
  title: Recent zones
filter:
  include:
    - attributes:
        zone: $$*
        last_tripped_time: '< 1h ago'
      options:
        state_color: true
        secondary_info: last-updated
sort:
  method: last_changed
  reverse: true

Expanded information

Adding in the custom multi entity row allows us to display additional information with each zone, like adding in the zone number underneath the friendly name or additional information, like bypassed, low battery, and tamper in the same line.

Zone number, bypassed, low battery, and tamper, not showing the state:

type: custom:auto-entities
card:
  type: entities
  title: Recent zones
filter:
  template: |
    {% for s in states.binary_sensor | selectattr('attributes.zone', 'defined') -%}
       {{-
          {
            'type': 'custom:multiple-entity-row',
            'entity': s.entity_id,
            'name': s.name,
            'secondary_info': {'name':'Zone','attribute':'zone'},
            'entities': [
                {'attribute':'bypassed','name':'Bypassed'},
                {'attribute':'low_battery','name':'Low battery'},
                {'attribute':'tamper','name':'Tamper'}
            ],
            'show_state': false,
            'state_color': true
          }
        -}},
    {%- endfor %}
sort:
  method: attribute
  attribute: zone
  numeric: true

Zone number and state but without additional attributes:

type: custom:auto-entities
card:
  type: entities
  title: Recent zones
filter:
  template: |
    {% for s in states.binary_sensor | selectattr('attributes.zone', 'defined') -%}
       {{-
          {
            'type': 'custom:multiple-entity-row',
            'entity': s.entity_id,
            'name': s.name,
            'secondary_info': {'name':'Zone','attribute':'zone'},
            'state_color': true
          }
        -}},
    {%- endfor %}
sort:
  method: attribute
  attribute: zone
  numeric: true
