The `input_slider` component allows the user to define values that can be controlled via the frontend and can be used within conditions of automation. Changes to the slider generate state events. These state events can be utilized as `automation` triggers as well.
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
input_slider:
slider1:
name: Slider 1
initial: 30
min: -20
max: 35
step: 1
```
Configuration variables:
- **[alias]** (*Required*): Alias for the slider input.
- **name** (*Optional*): Friendly name of the slider input.
- **initial** (*Optional*): Initial value when Home Assistant starts.
- **min** (*Optional*): Minimum value for the slider.
- **max** (*Optional*): Maximum value for the slider.
- **step** (*Optional*): Step value for the slider.
## {% linkable_title Automation Examples %}
Here's an example of `input_slider` being used as a trigger in an automation.
```yaml
{% raw %}
# Example configuration.yaml entry using 'input_slider' as a trigger in an automation
# Define input_slider
input_slider:
bedroom_brightness:
name: Brightness
initial: 254
min: 0
max: 254
step: 1
# Automation.
automation:
- alias: Bedroom Light - Adjust Brightness
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: input_slider.bedroom_brightness
action:
- service: light.turn_on
# Note the use of 'data_template:' below rather than the normal 'data:' if you weren't using an input variable
data_template:
entity_id: light.bedroom
brightness: '{{ trigger.to_state.state | int }}'
{% endraw %}
```
Another code example using `input_slider`, this time being used in an action in an automation.
```yaml
{% raw %}
# Example configuration.yaml entry using 'input_slider' in an action in an automation
# Define 'input_select'
input_select:
scene_bedroom:
name: Scene
options:
- Select
- Concentrate
- Energize
- Reading
- Relax
- 'OFF'
initial: 'Select'
# Define input_slider
input_slider:
bedroom_brightness:
name: Brightness
initial: 254
min: 0
max: 254
step: 1
# Automation.
automation:
- alias: Bedroom Light - Custom
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: input_select.scene_bedroom
to: CUSTOM
action:
- service: light.turn_on
# Again, note the use of 'data_template:' rather than the normal 'data:' if you weren't using an input variable.
data_template:
entity_id: light.bedroom
brightness: '{{ states.input_slider.bedroom_brightness.state | int }}'
{% endraw %}
```
