Home Assistant dashboard custom element: Auto-entities

Here you find Home Assistant (lovelace) dashboard examples related to the custom element auto-entities which you can easily use on your own dashboards.

Auto-entities is a very powerful addon card which can let you make dynamic entity lists based on multiple filters, include and exclude entities and different type of sorting.

The git repository with also all options and some examples can be found at https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities

Only X days left (multiple conditions with AND)

For the paper pickup day, I only want this visible when there are only three days left.

Show only when the number of days is less than 4 AND more than -1.

See here how to create a day countdown based on a date.

  card:
    type: entities
  filter:
    include:
      - entity_id: sensor.paper_waste_pickup_countdown
        state 1: "< 4"
        state 2: "> -1"

        secondary_info:
          attribute: distance
  exclude:
    - state: unknown
    - state: unavailable
sort:
  method: last-changed
  reverse: true
