Proposed change
If
is_state
is passed a list of values it returnstrue
if the state of the entity is in the list. Essentially this:would become this after this PR:
Also this really helps with
expand
use cases as this:becomes this:
This is not a breaking change because a state cannot be a list. That's also why
is_state_attr
is not modified in the same way because an attribute can be a list.Came up because I was auditing my templates after #79473 and realized now
expand
is really only needed in two cases:last_updated
,last_changed
orcontext
select
orreject
based on the state or an attribute and the comparator is not equals (in
,gt
,lt
, etc.)This small change further whittled down the need for complex templates with
expand
as it meansin
comparisons based on state can be done without it.Type of change
