Additional context
Given I have sensor, that has a state:
sensor.ehm6g88s_status
-> awaiting_start
.
This is translated in the custom component, so how do i get the translated string in my card?
If I were to use a regular Entity
card or similar, it would be translated properly. How do I achieve the same-ish behaviour with the config-template-card?
Here's an example:
- type: custom:config-template-card
entities:
- sensor.ehm6g88s_status
card:
type: button
show_name: true
show_icon: true
state_color: false
tap_action:
action: toggle
entity: switch.ehm6g88s_smart_charging
icon: mdi:power
show_state: false
name: ${states['sensor.ehm6g88s_status'].state}
Inside config-template-card
you can use JS to access to HA objects.
I guess (may be wrong) that translations ("above_horizon -> Above horizon", "on -> Connected") are not part of these objects...
Currently translations are not a part of states object.
They cannot be read in jinja templates - and in JS templates as well.
This may probably be made as a local "helper function" (like it is made for custom:button-card).
Converted to FR.
