[Config Support]: Added Filter Based on Day of week

[albertlt]

Describe the problem you are having or the outcome you are trying to achieve.

Hello. First of all, thank you for the great blueprint. I added filter to run the automation based on certain days (Monday, Tuesday, ...). So far it worked correctly but I am not sure if my approach is right. I will explain the changes below and please let me know if the implementation is correct.

By the way, I also need to check state from multiple entity in the state filter but I don't know how to do that. Can you please add that functionality to next release?

Something like: run the automation if input_boolean.HomeAlarm is ON AND input_boolean.MasterSwitch is ON.
Basically, I need all entities evaluation to be true before executing the notification.

Anyway, back to topic, here is my modification:

STEP 1 - REGISTER NEW VARIABLE
Add :

input_day_filter: !input day_filter
day_filter: '{{ input_day_filter | list }}'

To :

variables:
input_camera: !input camera
camera: '{{ input_camera | regex_replace(''^camera.'', '''') }}'
…

STEP 2 - CREATE NEW INPUT SECTION
Add :

day_filter:
name: Day Filter (Optional)
description: Select days to receive notifications
default: []
selector:
select:
options:
- label: Monday
value: "0"
- label: Tuesday
value: "1"
- label: Wednesday
value: "2"
- label: Thursday
value: "3"
- label: Friday
value: "4"
- label: Saturday
value: "5"
- label: Sunday
value: "6"
multiple: true
custom_value: false

To :

filters:
name: '# Filters

    '
  description: These are Filter Options
  icon: mdi:filter
  collapsed: true
  input:
    zone_filter:
    …

STEP 3 – EVALUATE CONDITION
Add :

• condition: template
  value_template: >
  {{ day_filter | length == 0 or now().weekday() | string in day_filter }}

To :

• alias: Frigate Event
  conditions:
  • condition: trigger
    id: frigate-event
  • '{{ is_state(this.entity_id, ''on'') }}'
    ….

Attached is full modified yaml file renamed to txt extension so I can upload it here. Please kindly have a look. Thank you.

Btw, the editor automatically converted - to bullet points :( Maybe better to just refer to attached yaml file :)

Seems like a working filter. It would be great if you could add it as a pull request to the beta blueprint.
