Rules for multiple elements of the same type but with different Ids

[m90att]

Hi,

Second question of the day...

I'm very familiar with the rule to handle multiple elements of the same type, e.g.

                - entities:
                    - climate.hall
                    - climate.bathroom
                    - climate.study
                    - climate.kitchen
                    - climate.lounge
                    - climate.spare_room
                  state_action:
                    - service: floorplan.text_set
                      service_data: '${(entity.attributes.current_temperature !== undefined) ? Math.round(entity.attributes.current_temperature * 10) / 10 + "° " : "unknown" }'

However, this is dependent on the SVG elements having the same id as the HA entities.

Is it possible to do the same - perform one rule on multiple elements - if their ids are different to the entities? Or do I have to list out each one individually with its own rule, e.g.

                - element: text.temp_study
                  entity: climate.study
                  state_action:
                    - service: floorplan.text_set
                      service_data: '${(entity.attributes.current_temperature !== undefined) ? Math.round(entity.attributes.current_temperature * 10) / 10 + "°" : "unknown" }'
                - element: text.temp_lounge
                  entity: climate.lounge
                  state_action:
                    - service: floorplan.text_set
                      service_data: '${(entity.attributes.current_temperature !== undefined) ? Math.round(entity.attributes.current_temperature * 10) / 10 + "°" : "unknown" }'

I want to understand if there's an easy way to do it before I proceed with creating a function to do this.

Thanks

I actually tried to extend this locally yesterday, cause I spotted a need for it. However: I deleted the comment in another other discussion, cause it was too long away from the main question.

The short version of your question is:
"Can I use multiple elements for a single (or multiple) entities, and have ha-floorplan to manipulte each element on basis of the provided rule(s)?"

Right?

I bet you're able to do it with some magical YAML template mapping, but what would require a plugin/custom-component or similar... But I need to check, how it can be handled in ha-floorplan.

Also: +1 to you, for creating a both clean and easily understandable question!
It highly improves my tendency to give inputs/help, but also for other people to find your question by searching here (or on Google).

ah..no, the element ids are outline.lounge, outline.study, etc...I can see the problem I think...it's still got the _hvac on the end

[m90att]

so some kind of substr using the '.' and '_' ?

[exetico]

Use entityName.split('_')[0], and consider to wrap the whole statement in a try{} catch(e){} at this point, now what you're bringing even more logics into the runtime/execution 😊.

The entityName is already the things after the dot in the entity.

You can also do it with just a entityName.replace('_hvac','') 👍. In your case It's also possible to just use two times replace() on entity.entity_name, if you're considering to simplify it a bit. But I just did it in a bit more generic way.

Thanks @exetico...final code

                - entity:
                    - sensor.lounge_hvac
                    - sensor.study_hvac
                    - sensor.bathroom_hvac
                    - sensor.kitchen_hvac
                    - sensor.spare_room_hvac
                    - sensor.hall_hvac
                  state_action:
                    action: call-service
                    service: floorplan.class_set
                    service_data:
                      element: |
                        > 
                        try {
                          const [entityType, entityName] = entity.entity_id.split(".", 2);
                          const outlineName = entityName.replace('_hvac','');
                          return `outline.${outlineName}`; 
                        } catch(e) {
                          console.log("Dag nabbit... That didn't go as planned");
                        }      
                      class: |
                        > 
                        try {
                          const [entityType, entityName] = entity.entity_id.split(".", 2);

                          console.log("entity", entity); console.log("element", element); console.log(entityType, entityName);
                          return `${entity.state}`; 
                        } catch(e) {
                          console.log("Dag nabbit... That didn't go as planned");
                        }

You're welcome :)

Yes, I've done it by replacing cliamte with text but I still need to do it for every element/entity pairing, which is why I was thinking a function is the way to go, but I thought I'd ask if there was another way, I was thinking/hoping something like this

              entities:
                - element: text.temp_study
                  entity: climate.study
                - element: text.temp_lounge
                  entity: climate.lounge
                - element: text.temp_hall
                  entity: climate.hall
                - element: text.temp_kitchen
                  entity: climate.kitchen
                  state_action:
                    - service: floorplan.text_set
                      service_data: '${(entity.attributes.current_temperature !== undefined) ? Math.round(entity.attributes.current_temperature * 10) / 10 + "°" : "unknown" }'

Please add a reply to my answer, instead of starting a new line answer 😄 . But thank you for the answer.
