State about tileboard

You might be confusing state map with actual state i.e.

states: {on: 'Enabled', off: 'Disabled'}, // object of states map, used for mapping of states
//states: function (item, entity) {return entity.state}, // ot use function for getting state

and

//state: String || Function, // custom state of Tile

@VPNMASTER Please show an example of tile config

{ // Media center lamp
    position: [0, 1],
    width: 1,
    type: TYPES.LIGHT,
    id: 'light.media_center',
    title: 'Media center',
    subtitle: 'Lamps',
    states: {
        on: "On",
        off: "Off"
    },
    icons: {
        on: 'mdi-lamp',
        off: 'mdi-lamp'
    },
    state: switchPercents('brightness', 255, true),
    sliders: [brightnessSlider()],
}

The state function works only If I remove the states mapping

There was two separate elements that was able to show different states. Now it's only one, and states map have bigger priority. Though you still can handle in the state callback function.

Something like:

state: function (item, entity) {
   if('brightness' in entity.attributes) {
      return switchPercents('brightness', 255, true)(item, entity);
   }

   return ({on: "On", off: "Off"})[entity.state];
},

Yes, finally I end up with doing this way.
But previous behavior where fall back to mapping when state (ex sub) is null was better.

[Evgeny-]

It's only look that way, in fact there was two elements and the second one overlap the first. So second one showed only when brightness was available, and the first one (on/off) was always in place.

I think that sub was a bit confusing since you have been describing same element in two different places with two different names. You can easily create a helper function which would show % and on/off for all of your lights.

So there's no problem to fallback into .state when states[entity.state] is null, but in fact it's never null in this case.

[vassilis-panos]

Sorry, I meant the return of anonymous function and not the entity.state

[Evgeny-]

Oh yes, i got it. I'm looking into changing priorities from states->state to state->states., probably that should solve the problem, in this case.

@VPNMASTER I've pushed new version, please try it out
