Add up helper states "unknown"

Configuration
1

Hi, I’m using an add up helper for several entities. If only one of these entities is out of service, the helper’s output is “unknown”.
Is there a setting, that the helper adds up the remaining entities (without these out of service entities) and shows a valid number?

You would have to create a template sensor instead.

template:
  - sensor:
      - name: Total
        unit_of_measurement: "W"
        state: "{{ states('sensor.one')|float(0) + states('sensor.two')|float(0) + states('sensor.three')|float(0) }}"

The float filter default (0) replaces unavailable entities with zero.

If you are going to add a sensor, you could as well:

    - name: "Unknown entities count"
      state: >
        {{ states.sensor
          |selectattr('state', 'eq', 'unknown')
          |list|count }}

Hi, thank you!
For >80 sensors this seems to be not an appropriate way… Any other solutions?

Something like this:

Or this:

I missed the point, didn’t I :wink:
This sums all sensors not unknown or unavailable and having “temp” in their object_id (the part ofter sensor. )

{{ states.sensor
          |rejectattr('state', 'eq', 'unknown')
          |rejectattr('state', 'eq', 'unavailable')
          |selectattr('object_id', 'search', 'temp')
          |map(attribute='state')
          |map('float')
          |sum
        }}
