Templating

[Tom-ahawk]

It would be nice to be able to template values like "value_sensors" and "bands: - from_value" and "show" etc..
If "bands: - from_value" only takes numbers a template could deliver a number from a binary sensor or other text states.

          from_value: >
            {% if is_state('device_tracker.paulus', 'home') %}
              1
            {% endif %}

Templating is something that I need to read up on, how this can be done from card configs.
I'll keep the issue open, but this will be a long term thing to implement.

For using templates, you can use a wrapper card, example via https://github.com/gadgetchnnel/lovelace-card-templater

type: custom:card-templater
card:
  type: custom:compass-card
  indicator_sensors:
    - sensor: sun.sun
      attribute: azimuth
      indicator:
        image: mdi:weather-sunny
        color: yellow
        size_template: > 
          {{ states('input_number.testinputnumber') }}
  value_sensors:
    - sensor: input_number.testinputnumber
  header:
    title:
      value: test config card template
  compass:
    north:
      show: true
entities:
  - sun.sun
