Excellent primer on how to populate and use a custom template sensor 🥰
I have right away added this to my Home Assistant know-how favorites list 🙏

Works like a dream, thank you. Love your channel. Q: what would be best way to have scrolling enabled, say I had 20 feed items and wanted the card to show only 5? Keep up the good work. Best

Really interesting - One reason for having a dashboard

Hello
Thanks for this, another great tutorial, is it possible to extend this and allow Home Assistant Voice integration to read these headlines, it just response with the date the feed was updated.

I noticed that you have Template for Epic Games free games. Is it only time based calendar or is it some deeper integration? I don't think I've seen a video on that yet :)

Hi!

Thank you for another great tutorial, as always.
Just a quick note: there seems to be a small error in the YAML code available for download/purchase.


state: >
{{ now() }}
attributes:
{% if (event_title not in rss_titles) and (event_link not in rss_links) %}
{% set rss_titles = [event_title] + rss_titles %}
{% endif %}
{{ rss_titles[:5] }}

It’s missing the line:

titles: >
under attributes.

Otherwise, everything looks great! :)

with testing, I can see the feed items come in when checking events in dev tools but I cant get the attributes to show when checking the state. I'm using BBC RSS which updates often and I see there have been new items, but nothing has been saved into the sensor

Thx. I bought the code from you and it works :) Any tips, how link would open in pop up window? I have browser Mod.

something like this maby, but this didn't work at all:
<ul>
{% for i in range(titles | length) %}
<li><h3><a href="#" onclick="window.fireEvent('browser_mod.popup', { 'content': { 'type': 'markdown', 'content': '<a href={{links[i]}} }, 'title': '{{titles[i]}}'
{% endfor %}
</ul>
