When using `wait_template` within an automation `trigger.entity_id` is supported for `state`, `numeric_state` and `template` triggers, see also [Available-Trigger-Data](/docs/automation/templating/#available-trigger-data).

{% raw %}
```yaml
wait_template: "{{ is_state(trigger.entity_id, 'on') }}"
```
{% endraw %}

It is also possible to use dummy variables, e.g., in scripts, when using `wait_template`.

{% raw %}
```yaml
# Service call, e.g. from an automation.
service: script.do_something
data_template:
dummy: "{{ input_boolean.switch }}"

# Inside the script
wait_template: "{{ is_state(dummy, 'off') }}"
```
{% endraw %}
