Get entities for an integration: integration_entities

The integration_entities template function returns a list of entityAn entity represents a sensor, actor, or function in Home Assistant. Entities are used to monitor physical properties or to control other entities. An entity is usually part of a device or a service. [Learn more] IDs that belong to a specific integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more] or config entry. You can pass either a domain name (like hue) to get all entities for that integration, or a config entry title (like Living Room Hue Bridge) to narrow it down to a specific instance.

This is especially useful when you have multiple instances of the same integration and need to work with entities from only one of them. For example, if you have two Hue bridges, you can get the entities for each one separately by using their config entry titles. You can also use this to count how many entities an integration has created, or to check the state of all entities that belong to a particular integration at once.

Usage

Here’s how to use this template function. Copy any example and adjust it to your setup.

{{ integration_entities("hue") }}

[
  "light.living_room",
  "light.bedroom",
  "sensor.hue_motion",
]

{{ "hue" | integration_entities }}

[
  "light.living_room",
  "light.bedroom",
  "sensor.hue_motion",
]

Function signature

The signature is a technical summary of this template function. It shows the name of the function, the values (called parameters) it accepts, and what type of data each parameter expects (for example, a piece of text or a number).

Function parameters that have a = with a value after them are optional. If you leave them out, the default value shown is used automatically. Function parameters without a default are required.

integration_entities(
    entry_name: str,
) -> list[str]

Function parameters

The following parameters can be provided to this function.

Good to know

• A domain name returns entities from every config entry of that integration. Use a config entry title to narrow down to one instance.
• Config entry title matches take precedence over domain matches, so a title that looks like a domain name is matched first as a title.
• Returns an empty list when nothing matches, rather than raising an error.

Get entities from a specific config entry

When you have multiple instances of the same integration, use the config entry title to get entities for only one of them.

{{ integration_entities("Living Room Hue Bridge") }}
