Templates

Templates may be used in a certain places to allow template values (if present) to be dynamically replaced. This allows a variety of Home Assistant data, and Advanced Camera Card data, to be accessible. Templates may be used in:

• Actions / Automations
• Folder Media Matchers

Stock Templates

The Advanced Camera Card uses ha-nunjucks to process templates. Consult its documentation for the wide variety of different template values supported.

See an example that accesses Home Assistant state.

Custom Templates

Custom template values must be proceeded by advanced_camera_card (or acc for short).

Template	Replaced with
camera	The currently selected camera.
view	The current view.

See an example that accesses Advanced Camera Card state.

Media Matching

If templates are used for Folder Media Matching an additional media variable is available with these properties:

Media template values must be proceeded by advanced_camera_card.media (or acc.media for short).

Template	Replaced with
title	The media title being matched.
is_folder	Whether the media item is a folder that may be expanded (vs a single media item).

Triggers

If the action is called by an Advanced Camera Card Automation, additional data is available representing the current and prior state of whatever triggered the action.

Trigger template values must be proceeded by advanced_camera_card.trigger (or acc.trigger for short).

Template	Replaced with
camera.to	For camera conditions, the currently selected camera.
camera.from	For camera conditions, the previously selected camera.
view.to	For view conditions, the currently selected view.
view.from	For view conditions, the previously selected view.
state.entity	For state conditions, the entity state that triggered the condition.
state.to	For state conditions, the current state of the entity.
state.from	For state conditions, the previous state of the entity.

Note

If an action is triggered with multiple state conditions, only data from the last listed state condition is available.

Note

If you use an or condition, only the trigger data for the first matching trigger will be included.

Please request if you need data from additional conditions.

See an example that accesses trigger state.
