:description: Instructions for setting up select components in ESPHome.
|
|
:image: folder-open.svg
|
|
|
|
ESPHome has support for components to create a select entity. A select entity is
|
|
basically an option list that can be set by either yaml, hardware or the user/frontend.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Home Assistant Core 2021.8 or higher is required for ESPHome select entities to work.
|
|
|
|
.. _config-select:
|
|
|
|
Base Select Configuration
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
All selects in ESPHome have a name and an optional icon.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
# Example select configuration
|
|
name: Livingroom Mood
|
|
id: my_select
|
|
|
|
# Optional variables:
|
|
icon: "mdi:emoticon-outline"
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name for the select.
|
|
- **icon** (*Optional*, icon): Manually set the icon to use for the select in the frontend.
|
|
- **internal** (*Optional*, boolean): Mark this component as internal. Internal components will
|
|
not be exposed to the frontend (like Home Assistant). Only specifying an ``id`` without
|
|
a ``name`` will implicitly set this to true.
|
|
- **disabled_by_default** (*Optional*, boolean): If true, then this entity should not be added to any client's frontend,
|
|
(usually Home Assistant) without the user manually enabling it (via the Home Assistant UI).
|
|
Requires Home Assistant 2021.9 or newer. Defaults to ``false``.
|
|
- **entity_category** (*Optional*, string): The category of the entity.
|
|
See https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/#generic-properties
|
|
for a list of available options. Requires Home Assistant 2021.11 or newer.
|
|
Set to ``""`` to remove the default entity category.
|
|
|
|
Automations:
|
|
|
|
- **on_value** (*Optional*, :ref:`Automation <automation>`): An automation to perform
|
|
when a new value is published. See :ref:`select-on_value`.
|
|
|
|
MQTT Options:
|
|
|
|
- All other options from :ref:`MQTT Component <config-mqtt-component>`.
|
|
|
|
Select Automation
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
You can access the most recent state of the select in :ref:`lambdas <config-lambda>` using
|
|
``id(select_id).state``.
|
|
|
|
.. _select-on_value:
|
|
|
|
``on_value``
|
|
************
|
|
|
|
This automation will be triggered when a new option is published. In :ref:`Lambdas <config-lambda>`
|
|
you can get the value from the trigger with ``x``.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
select:
|
|
- platform: template
|
|
# ...
|
|
on_value:
|
|
then:
|
|
- logger.log:
|
|
format: "Chosen option: %s"
|
|
args: ["x.c_str()"]
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables: See :ref:`Automation <automation>`.
|
|
|
|
.. _select-set_action:
|
|
|
|
``select.set`` Action
|
|
*********************
|
|
|
|
This is an :ref:`Action <config-action>` for setting a select state.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
- select.set:
|
|
id: my_select
|
|
option: "Happy"
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The ID of the select to set.
|
|
- **option** (**Required**, string, :ref:`templatable <config-templatable>`):
|
|
The option to set the select to.
|
|
|
|
.. _select-lambda_calls:
|
|
|
|
lambda calls
|
|
************
|
|
|
|
From :ref:`lambdas <config-lambda>`, you can call several methods on all selects to do some
|
|
advanced stuff (see the full API Reference for more info).
|
|
|
|
- ``make_call()``: Set the select option.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: cpp
|
|
|
|
// Within lambda, select the "Happy" option.
|
|
auto call = id(my_select).make_call();
|
|
call.set_option("Happy");
|
|
call.perform();
|
|
|
|
- ``.state``: Retrieve the current option of the select.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: cpp
|
|
|
|
// For example, create a custom log message when an option is selected:
|
|
ESP_LOGI("main", "Option of my select: %s", id(my_select).state.c_str());
|
