auto-entities not working for me

[Oldertarl]

Let me first of all try to explain what the situation is
I have an API that return a nice clean json with some values
{"ABT":{"ABT":44.267684700096},"XRP":{"XRP":376.11259500989996},"SLP":{"SLP":13.576539064630722},"SOL":{"SOL":497.43060954329997},"TRUMP":{"TRUMP":74.35098443979},"BTC":{"BTC":321.6749058}}
(disclaimer actual values have been adjusted before posting)
In the configuration.yaml I am collecting the json via

rest:
  - scan_interval: 5
    resource: https://<domain_name>/wallet.php
    sensor:
      - name: Crypto Prices
        value_template: '{{ value_json }}'

I created a dashboard card after adding the needed plugins

type: custom:config-template-card
entities:
  - sensor.crypto_prices
card:
  type: custom:auto-entities
  card:
    type: entities
    title: Crypto Prices
  filter:
    include:
      - entity_id: sensor.crypto_prices
        options:
          type: custom:template-entity-row
          name: ""
        name: |
          name: >
            {{ key }}
          state: >
            {{ value }}

The only thing showing up on the card it the title "Crypto Prices"

I can see when auto-completing the entity that the json is in place and correctly received.
I also created a normal entity card, trying to show the values and this is working as expected.
Reason to use auto-entities for this, is when there is a new coin added to the portfolio, I want this to show up as well, on the updated card.

Any help getting this working is highly appreciated!

So, the sensor is a dictionary where each element is a dictionary like

xxx:
  xxx: xxx

(btw do you know that a state can be not more than 255 chars?)

First, why do you use config-template-card (CTC) here? If this is a shortened version of your code - then suggest not to mention CTC here to avoid confusion and unneeded complexity.

Regarding “name: |” part - what is used for?
If you are trying to show “ABT” as a “name” and “123.456” as a state - then you should use a “template” option of the auto-entities card: you should enumerate a whole dictionary in a “for” statement and then build each row inside template-entity-row.

Your post is not a bug or a feature request, it is a question “how to…”. Suggest to ask questions in HA Community, there is a dedicated auto-entities thread there.
