Yep! That’s another improvement! Thanks again 
So, in case anyone else wants it, here is the final full code – tested, tidied up and annotated.
Thanks to all of you for your help and to others on the forum and elsewhere on the internet who made contributions to this subject.

## The sensor provides lists related to real devices, not internal entities, helpers, automations etc.,
## Entities with state 'unknown' are not counted, because it is possible for a device to have a sub-entity that is
## unknown while the device itself is available.
##
## The STATE simply gives the count of unavailable entities.
## The long results have to be attributes because the state cannot contain more than 255 characters:
## ATTRIBUTE 'entity_id_list' contains a list of unavailable entities using their entity ids, which may or may not have been set by the user.
## ATTRIBUTE 'entity_name_list' contains a list of unavailable entities using their friendly names as assigned by the user.
## ATTRIBUTE 'device_name_list contains a list of the devices that are unavailable, which is to say having one or more entities that are unavailable,

This web page is colouring the last few lines incorrectly; it’s just comment and will be fine when you paste it into a YAML file.

FWIW, there are one or two other templating shortcuts that are possible but, seeing that you have already have your own Solution, it’s good enough.
I would like to see them anyway!
I readily confess that my solution was achieved more by trial-and-error than by a deep understanding of how templates work 
I’m running into an issue using this because I have a separate sensors.yaml and when I paste this in, I think the indentation is wrong. Below are the non-critical errors that only exist when I paste the code in to my YAML file and attempt to check the HA config.

I don’t see your log with errors — only YAML config.
state and attributes should be indented more, but if you learn to interpret the errors and check the docs, you can fix it yourself.
If you have a separate sensors.yaml, then the key sensor is already in your configurations.yaml, presumably (as sensor: !include sensor.yaml) so you should not have the sensors keyword again in sensors.yaml
I have labeled mine, so it is written like this:
sensor sun2: !include sun2.yaml
sensor climate: !include climate.yaml
...
I managed to get it down to one error.
Invalid config for 'template' from integration 'sensor' at sensors.yaml, line 394: 'attributes' is an invalid option for 'sensor.template', check: sensors->unavailable_entities->attributes
I had to replace a bunch of the items like “state” with “value_template”, etc. I’m not sure what to do with the attributes section. I tried various indents. See below for updated YAML. I know the beginning is correct because all the other items in my sensors.yaml are formatted the same way.

Thanks a million for sharing your final code! Really helpful!
This is for those who are having the same problem with an empty device_name_list:
Both attributes entity_id_list and entity_name_list work fine at my end.
However, I had a problem that the attribute device_name_list produced just an empty value. Reason was that the list is based on name_by_user which needs to be manually defined for each device which I never did.
My workaround was to replace name_by_user by just name.
Accordingly, my corresponding line in the device_name_list section is the following:
map('device_attr', 'name') instead of map('device_attr', 'name_by_user')
I edited @AndySymons sensor to output unavailable device count rather than entities.
It also inverts the order of the sensor details so that the list of unavailable devices is at the top and the entity IDs are at the bottom.

Great work 
I learned a lot.
Some thoughts to share…
Now you have a sensor, but what doing with it?
Showing on a dashboard?
This may lead to the situation, that you (or whoever) have to look regularly on it.
And in the most cases you hopefully see: Everything okay.
But are you really interested in the information that everything is okay? Isn’t it a „waste of time“ to check again and again a status which is fine?
I would guess you are interested in the situation where something is wrong.
Personally I don’t like to get bothered with informations I don’t need or which does not trigger any kind of action.
So for me the logical next step would be to use the sensor you created to trigger an automation which informs me about a problem.
And in case there is no problem… why should I care for a „no-problem“? 
I originally wrote it for a ‘service’ dashboard on which I also display devices with low battery level, the system status and the status of Zigbee repeaters. It is intended for general maintenance and first place to look when funny things happen.
Hi Andy,
Great work, I’ve got a similar one. However, for one sensor state HA has to iterate through all entities three times.
Few options for process optimization:
- consider adding a trigger to the sensor, default update interval is 5 seconds, I believe, do you really need on-the-fly info, or is once per minute quick enough
- look into the option of making it a template sensor with an action, then HA only has to iterate once and then put the data in different attributes.
- I only list a device as unavailable when all device entities are unavailable
Finally, you could change the base to integration_entities, for instance integration_entities('mqtt'), if you’re only interested in mqtt devices.
Kind regards,
- Ingrid

- I agree!
- I mainly use it for a dashboard, as mentioned above, so the polling approach (1) is aproriate (and could be even less frequent). If I wanted an action, then I would trigger an automation by a change in the state (number ıf devices unavailable) – so a ‘pull’ rather than a ‘push’ approach. For some crucial devices I already have automations with notifications, for example Heating X2: Schedule Thermostats with Calendars notifies when a TRV is unavailable or fails to repond to a setting.
- Good idea. I did find the picture was clouded by devices that had unused entities marked as unknown or unavailable, probably due to a faulty ZHA quirk. I got around that by manually disabling the entties is question.
- (MQTT) yes, of course, but not applicable in my case
Thanks for sharing! 
Thirst thanks for sharing. I recently wrote a template macro for the same purpose.
The endeavor was not easy, as I encountered various things that should be taken into account.
So reading your code, some improvements to consider:
- Some devices have a binary connection sensor (device_class connectivity). These remain available,when the device is off line. Your code misses them
- Some integrations extend devices of other integrations with additional entities. Most of these extended entities will also become unavailable ( I.e a cast device gets extended by e media player, etc). BUT not all!, Example is powercalc, adding power/energy sensors to devices. So I had to exclude powercalc entities from the evaluation.
So I now share my template macro, that takes these exceptions into account. The flow is simple to avoid to much iterations over entities:
- First I create an list of suspicious device_ids with unavailable entitie(s). (This limits the scope for the remaining code)
- create an ignore list of entries not to use (powercalc only for now)
- then I evaluate only the suspicious devices:
- lookup the device entities and reject ignores
- check there is at least one unavailable
- check there are no availables, excluding connection types
- for every unavailable device, a struct with information is added to a list to return.
I think this is a reasonable efficient approach:
{%- macro unavailable_devices() -%}
{#- list all devices that have at least one unavailable entity -#}
{% set suspicious_devices = states | rejectattr('state','ne','unavailable') | map(attribute='entity_id') | map('device_id') | unique | reject('eq',None) | list -%}
{%- set ns = namespace(unavailables = []) -%}
{#- create a list of entities to ignore.
i.e. powercalc extends devices with entities. -#}
{%- set ignore_lst=integration_entities('powercalc') -%}
{%- for device_id in suspicious_devices -%}
{%- set ids = device_attr(device_id, 'identifiers') -%}
{%- set integration = 'unknown' if (not ids or ids|list|length == 0 or ids|list|first|length!=2) else ids|list|first|first -%}
{#- exlude entities of i.e. powercalc which extends devices with power entities -#}
{%- set entities= device_entities(device_id) | reject('in', ignore_lst) | list -%}
{%- set unavailable = expand(entities) | selectattr('state','eq','unavailable') |list|count -%}
{#- don't count available entities of connection type -#}
{%- set available = expand(entities) | selectattr('state','ne','unavailable') | list | count -%}
{#- so count connection entities in error state -#}
{%- set contypes = expand(entities) | selectattr('state','eq','off') | selectattr('attributes.device_class', 'defined') |selectattr('attributes.device_class','eq','connectivity') | list | count -%}
{%- if unavailable!=0 and available-contypes==0 -%}
{#- preferably use named_by_user -#}
{%- set name = device_attr(device_id, 'name_by_user') -%}
{%- set name = device_attr(device_id, 'name') if name==None else name -%}
{%- set area = device_attr(device_id, 'area_id') or 'n/a' -%}
{%- set model = device_attr(device_id, 'model') or 'n/a' -%}
{%- set devices_info = {"name":name,"area":area,"model":model,"id":device_id,"available":available,"unavailable":unavailable,"integration":integration} -%}
{%- set ns.unavailables = ns.unavailables + [ devices_info ] -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- endfor -%}
{{ ns.unavailables | to_json }}
{%- endmacro -%}
Usage, note the from_json:
{{ unavailable_devices()|from_json|count }}
{{ unavailable_devices()|from_json }}
Result snippet:
2
[
{'name': 'Keukenkast',
'area': 'keuken',
'model': 'Dimmable light (PL 110)',
'id': '720b81c19d128a2d4d9e7fa7d3383f61',

The second device in this snippet has a connectivity sensor. Therefor available is 1.
The macro can also be used in the markdown card and auto-entities. Example for auto entities & template-entity-row:

I started a new architecture discussion for Home Assistant to add two template functions that would tremendously simplify the templates mentioned in this discussion:
- get_integrations() → list
- entity_integration(entity_id) → string
I’m new to that process, so lets find out if this proposal gets accepted

This is great. I use the same workaround with identifiers. I liked your discussion post. I hope this will get added!
Kind regards,
