What can I replace input_text with to save more than 255 characters.
I read the documentation and all the topics I found on the forum. I understand that input_text cannot contain more than 255 characters.
There are input_texts that write different information depending on the if branching. Branching can sometimes reach 2-3 nestings. Something like this:
if condition1
then
if condition2
then
if
condition3
then
input_text_one: value 1
else
input_text_one: value 2
else
if condition4
then
if
condition5
then
input_text_one: value 4
else
input_text_one: value 5
else
etc...
In some cases, errors are written that the server returns. Errors are longer than 255 characters, and unknown is written to input_text.
This information is not used on the frontend, the information is collected in a message and sent. It is also used in other automations.
Something like this:
message: >
Response to request:
Error_one: {{ states('input_text.one_message_telegram_system') }}
The question is, what can I replace input_text with so that the information fits more than 255 characters and is available everywhere?
I tried using a variable, it can store more information, but it does not work in more than one block.
Thanks
