But given what you have you could replace the last step in the script with something like this: Probably the easiest way would be to use a variable in this script, and then call it two or three times from another script where it passes the entity_id of each camera for each call. on each other and order doesnt matter. message: > WebList of Home Assistant directories to bind mount into your container. Just cooked this up on the flight San Diego - Toronto ;-) Extracts scripts logic into a script helper Scripts now accept variables to be passed in when turned on via service. Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled. I always set the icon and friendly_name via customize.yaml 1 Like And lastly, a default can be added, which would be like the else.. The State object. Thanks for the tip on the Appdaemon. data: These are run when you turn the script on. In pyscript, you can create persistent variables. If Im wrong about that, then we will have to subtract 1 from repeat.index when referencing the file list. It uses pure Python for the automations, and YAML just for passing static data in to your automations. It contains the following fields: This action allow you to conditionally (if) run a sequence of actions (then) If a script contains only 1 action, the wrapping list can be omitted.
