Hide state brackets text and button color/text

[sharonna511]

Describe the bug Hello How can i hide the state text part that is in brackets (Heat) (Off) ?

My thermostat (home assistant generic thermostat) has the hvac modes off/heat and it has the hvac actions off/idle/heating.

Is there any way i can make it that the button color is grey in idle and only orange when heating ? Also the text on the button says heat i would like it to read idle when idle and Heat when heating.

I also tried with version: 3, but then operation only says idle/heat and no heating anymore.

Thanks for your help.

I would also like a way to hide the state text in brackets so the State only shows hvac_action.

I stumbled upon this issue about state brackets, but as I did manage to find a solution, I'm sharing it here.

Version 3 seems to be the way...

- type: custom:simple-thermostat
  version: 3

So state entities shows like this:

For temperature unit, I did this:

sensors:
  - id: temperature
    label: '{{ui.currently}}'
    template: '{{current_temperature|formatNumber}} °C'

But also, I could split hvac mode & heater switch in two separate states, by adding my heater switch

sensors:
  - label: Heater
    entity: switch.ab_heater

And my card shows now like this:

Version 3 is documented here: https://github.com/nervetattoo/simple-thermostat/blob/master/examples/sensors.md

Just one more thing. If instead of hvac mode you want hvac action...

 - id: state
   template: '{{hvac_action}}'
   label: '{{ui.operation}}'

Using version 3 messes up the rest of my setup for example the sensor I have for my air purifier just states On/Off instead of air quality number. Looks like it disregards attribute.

Code:

    sensors:
      - entity: fan.levoit
        attribute: air_quality
        name: Air Quality

I don't have one of those, but I would try something like

sensors:
  - entity: fan.levoit
    label: Air Quality
    template: '{{air_quality}}'

That works perfectly, sorry but I have another question, my motion detector with v3 shows on/off instead of detected/clear. So I created this template:

{% if is_state("binary_sensor.upstairs_occupancy", "on") -%}
  Detected
{%- else -%}
  Clear
{%- endif %}

How do I include this as template similar to how you did template: '{{air_quality}}' or is creating a new template sensor the only option?

I don't think there is a way to map output values. A template sensor seems to be the way to go.

how does look your complete card with this if command? - Or do you have create a real template in config.yaml?
