Add option to trigger template triggers when the template updates
Proposed change
Currently, template triggers only trigger when the template previously renders false
and then renders true
. This limits template triggers and forces users to create template entities.
Adding the ability to optionally trigger off any template change opens up functionality for automations and template entities.
e.g. A user would now be able to create a trigger based template sensor where there's shared templates across states and attributes.
template:
- trigger:
- platform: template
value_template: "{{ states.binary_sensor | map('entity_id') | select('is_state_attr', 'device_class', 'battery') | select('is_state', 'on') | list }}"
trigger_on_new_value: True
sensor:
- name: Binary Sensor On Entities
state: "{{ trigger.value | count }}"
attributes:
entity_id: "{{ trigger.value }}"
