Entity state formatting

· One min read

In the Home Assistant Core 2023.9 release, we introduced 3 new methods to the hass object to allow entity state formatting with localization support for custom cards:

  • hass.formatEntityState
  • hass.formatEntityAttributeValue
  • hass.formatEntityAttributeName

Example:

hass.formatEntityState(hass.states["cover.living_room_shutter"]); 
// It will return "Open" if the user language is English.
// It will return "Ouvert" if the user language is French.

For more details, refer to the entity state formatting documentation.
