I am using the ‘semanticHomeMenu_Scenes’ widget by hmerk, but I would like to change the colour of the border for the scene card that has been pressed.
The widget contains the following prop settings as created by hmerk that I would like to use:
sceneUID
colorScheme
I have created the following item that has the ‘state’ set when activating scenes:
home_status
One of the states I set it to is ‘scene_im_home’
Here is the yaml statement I added to the widget with an expression that will set the border of the card to blue when home_status == “scene_im_home”, otherwise set the border to black.
Any suggestions? Or is this even possible to use the prop variables this way in an expression?
I have tried putting the =props.sceneUID in single quotes, and tried using it without the = sign but no luck.
You don’t want to put it in quotes because then the value is the string props.colorScheme not whatever value that variable holds.
Without the = should work, because this is the proper form. The = at the start of the expression is not some modifier for items.home_status.state, it’s just the symbol that tells the widget code that particular yaml property should be parsed as an expression and not just treated as a string. So, you only need the extra = at the very beginning.
So, assuming that the colorScheme state has been set properly, then the correct expression is:
Thanks for setting this on the correct path, I knew it should be simple but I was over thinking it… This is the expression I am using that works setting the border colour depending on the scene selection.
