Question: Template inside a variable

[Peter Oudenes]

Hi All,

Is it possible to do something like this:

adaptive_kelvin:
    value: "{{ states.switch.adaptive_lighting_sensor.attributes.color_temp_kelvin | round(0)}}"
    attributes:
      friendly_name: 'Adaptive Kelvin'
      icon: mdi:theme-light-dark

And use this variable "adaptive_kelvin" into automation? something like this:

- service: light.turn_on
   data:
     entity_id: light.livingroom_all
     brightness_pct: 100
     kelvin: "{{ [variable.adaptive_kelvin] }}"

kind regards,

[Peter Oudenes]

Nobody can tell me if this is possible?

Have you tried?

Using states of the variables in my automations here without issues

states.switch.adaptive_lighting_sensor.attributes.color_temp_kelvin should be something like:
state_attr('switch.adaptive_lighting_sensor.attributes','color_temp_kelvin')
