Visibility of variables in MMM-HomeAssistantDisplay

[DrKaMo]

this is the code, I would like if a fixed is closed (status false) that this is not displayed. Unfortunately this was not displayed in your link.

@DrKaMo said in Visibility of variables:

I would like if a fixed is closed (status false)

what is a ‘fixed’?

[DrKaMo]

@sdetweil I only want to display the windows that are open. I have already tried this link but apparently my variable does not have the state bit but only the bit itself.

@DrKaMo I have a garage door that is a ‘cover’ type device

my config (copied from the sample )

let perimeterWindowSections = [];
perimeterWindows.forEach((item, i) => {
    perimeterWindowSections.push({
        triggerEntities: [
            item.entity
        ],
        displayTemplate: `
        {% if states.${item.entity}.state == "open" %}<i class='mdi mdi-window-open'></i> ${item.name}{% endif %}
        `,
        class: "window"
    });
});

and it changes immediately when the door is opened and closed…

if I change entity state === ‘closed’ then it shows(as it IS closed) when closed , and not if its ‘open’

the module config itself

{
    module: 'MMM-HomeAssistantDisplay',
    position: 'top_right',
    classes:"page2",
    config: {
        host: "xxx",
        token: "..",
        port: 8123,
        useTLS: false,
        title: "Open Windows",
        useModuleTigger: false,
        class: "windows",
        sections: [
            ...perimeterWindowSections,
        ]
    },
},

I also used a light switch

 {% if states.${item.entity}.state == "on" %}<i class='mdi mdi-window-open'></i> ${item.name}{% endif %}

and it worked as expected, and the MM display responded immediately

so it looks like just getting the entity state value is what you need
if the entity is a switch , the states are on and off
if the entity is a cover, then the states are open and closed
and I checked with a binary sensor

    {
      entity: "binary_sensor.athom_garage_door_status",
      name:"fooo"
    }

and it is on or off

@DrKaMo did you resolve this?
