How can you incorporate the usage of aliases

[Mugga6315]

I just wanted to ask how I can modify the standard prompt to also take aliases into consideration for a device instead of just looking for the id or name.
I've seen some older issues or discussions, but the prompt looks different than the current one

If you have an alias created for an entity, it is passed as a "duplicate" entity in the devices template variable with the entity_id being the same for the duplicate entity, but the name field will be set to the alias's name.

It looks like this in the default prompt (with the alias being Dan's Lights)

light.ceiling_lights 'Ceiling Lights' = on;sandybrown (255, 164, 81);70%
light.ceiling_lights 'Dan's Lights' = on;sandybrown (255, 164, 81);70%

I think I want to add another variable to the devices block is_alias to allow you to either filter aliases or handle them differently in the prompt.

Ah okay, thanks for the clarification. Was just wondering because AI once responded with cannot find this device even it was called exactly like that as an alias.
