Toggle Fan SVG based on state of another entity

[MadMirza]

hi, I have a fan that not smart enough to reflect the state correctly. But I have a wall switch that has energy reading, was trying to make the fan spin if the wattage reading is above 40 watts. I am quite bad at coding, takes me ages to figure out stuff even using tutorials, any help would be wonderful.
- name: Fans
entities:
- entity: fan.nikheeil_room_fan
element: fan
tap_action:
action: toggle
hold_action: more-info
state_action:
service: floorplan.class_set
service_data: >-
'${(sensor.wall_switch_nikheeil_2_power.state >== 40) ? "show":"spinning"}'

There is a big series of posts that @exetico did to show a variety of ways to do this (#264 (comment)) but this should work:

- name: Fans
  entity: fan.nikheeil_room_fan
  element: fan
  tap_action: toggle
  hold_action: more-info
  state_action:
    service: floorplan.class_set
    service_data: |
      >
        if(hass.states["sensor.wall_switch_nikheeil_2_power"].state >= 40)
          return "spinning";
        else
          return "show"; 

P.S. Next time to make it easier to help you please format your code by highlighting it and pressing the <> button.

That worked like a charm!
Thanks for the extra tip.

@OzGav ohh it actually works, but i gotta refresh everytime to start and stop the spinning. Which means even if i switch off the fan and the wattage goes below 40 it spins until I refresh the page.
I am about to ask a very noob question, what language is the below part, is that Javascript. I am totally just mixing and matching things that i see in forums and elsewhere.
> if(hass.states["sensor.wall_switch_nikheeil_2_power"].state >= 40) return "spinning"; else return "show";

Yes it is JavaScript. The floorplan will update when fan.nikheeil_room_fan changes state. If the fan entity is that slow to update then you might need to use some automations and maybe an input_boolean to control the fan and keep track of its state.

You could use a script as a tap action to control the fan.
