I have two sensors:
The first results in: { "timestamp": "2020-03-24T17:00:00+01:00", "value": 369.0, "trend": -1, "stateMnwMhw": "normal", "stateNswHsw": "normal" }
- platform: template
sensors:
rheinpegel:
value_template: >
{% set state = states('sensor.rheinpegel_object') | from_json %}
{{ state.get('value', 'unknown') | multiply(0.01) }}
The second one results in:
But with template below that does not work and throws:Error rendering template: Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 1 column 2 (char 1)
What’s different?
- platform: template
sensors:
cases:
value_template: >
{% set state = states("sensor.berliner_morgenpost") | from_json %}
{{ state.get("cases", "nix") }}

The second dataset is not json. Json requires the values to be in double quotes, not single quotes.

Okay, but is it still possible to get the cases value? How?
AND: When I just open that link , the result is:
{
"current_totals": {
"cases": 33416,
"deaths": 143,
"recovered": 837,
"tested": "unknown"
},
"meta": {
"source": "ZEIT ONLINE (aggregated data from individual Landkreise in Germany)",
"info": "https://github.com/jgehrcke/covid-19-germany-gae",
"contact": "Dr. Jan-Philip Gehrcke, [email protected] ",
"time_source_last_updated_iso8601": "2020-03-24T18:06:05+01:00",
"time_source_last_consulted_iso8601": "2020-03-24T19:26:00+01:00"
}
}
I call that sensor with:
- platform: rest
name: Berliner-Morgenpost
value_template: '{{ value_json.current_totals }}'
resource: https://covid19-germany.appspot.com/now
Why is the result in HA with single quotes?

It’s single quotes because it’s not json. If you want it as json, add this to your rest template
value_template: '{{ value_json.current_totals | to_json }}'
https://ansible-docs.readthedocs.io/zh/stable-2.0/rst/playbooks_filters.html#filters-for-formatting-data
Or just leave it as is and skip the whole conversions all together.

cases:
value_template: '{{ states("sensor.berrliner_morgenpost").get("cases", "nix") }}'

Are you wanting to extract more than just the value of cases? If not, then why not just do this:
- platform: rest
name: Berliner-Morgenpost
value_template: '{{ value_json.current_totals.cases }}'
resource: https://covid19-germany.appspot.com/now
If you do want to extract more, then:
- platform: rest
name: Berliner-Morgenpost
value_template: '{{ value_json.current_totals.cases }}'
json_attributes: current_totals
resource: https://covid19-germany.appspot.com/now
Then:
- platform: template
sensors:
berliner_deaths:
value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.berliner_morgenpost', 'current_totals').deaths }}"
berliner_recovered:
value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.berliner_morgenpost', 'current_totals').recovered }}"

Thanks to @jocnnor and @pnbruckner .faster .
But when I look at the history, it seems to be not a number?
Even not when I pipe it to int:value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.berliner_morgenpost_cases3', 'current_totals').recovered | int }}"

it’s most likely because your sensor lacks unit_of_measurement - check out the description.

And one more
[{"deceased":0,"extraction_date":"Wed, 25 Mar 2020 00:00:00 GMT","infected":285,"province":"SK K\u00f6ln"}]
Here I get an array.
value_template: '{{ value_json.0.infected }}'
unit_of_measurement: "people"
json_attributes: 0
I see only the value 285.

You should be able to put in your rest sensor:
json_attributes: value_json.0json_attributes: value_json[0]
These are the same…whichever makes more sense for you. I personally like the array syntax to make it clear I’m extracting array value 0…but that’s probably because I’m not used to using json that much.

Tried already…
value_template: '{{ value_json.0 | to_json }}'
“| to_json” to get the result with "…
{"deceased": 149, "extraction_date": "Wed, 25 Mar 2020 00:00:00 GMT", "infected": 31555}
But than, the other attributes still do not work and results in unknown.
value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.rki_cases', 0).deceased }}"

You need to update the json_attributes field in the restful sensor. This tells the sensor “add ALL json values in the following template as attributes”
In your current sensor, json_attributes is returning nothing. It will be empty.
value_template: '{{ value_json.0.infected }}'
unit_of_measurement: "people"
json_attributes: 0 # <---- this is returning nothing
Instead make it this:
- platform: rest
name: infected
scan_interval: 600
# This sensor extracts just the infected value. The rest will be attributes.
value_template: '{{ value_json.0.infected}}'
unit_of_measurement: "people"
# Put ALL json values in this field as attributes
json_attributes: "{{ value_json.0 }}"
Now to get the attributes, use them as normal.
state_attr('sensor.infected', 'deceased')
state_attr('sensor.infected', 'extraction_date')
etc
The json_attributes parameter can specify either “root level” properties, or properties of the zeroth-element of a root level array. So you could do this:
json_attributes: deceased, infected, province
Then:
{{ state_attr('sensor.xyz', 'deceased') }}

Did not get the attributes following @jocnnor idea…@pnbruckner it got what I was looking for.
Thanks a lot to both!
And here is my code:

unit_of_measurement: "p"

I don’t understand your question…

I wasn’t asking you, I was asking @pnbruckner
No, it hasn’t always been there. Looks like it was added in PR #28835 and made the 0.103 release.
