I am not sure what I am doing wrong here:
My device tracker attributes look like this:
I configured the sensors as follows:
###########################################
# Location Sensor
###########################################
- platform: template
sensors:
audi_status:
value_template: "{{ 'Home' if is_state('device_tracker.2015_audi_rs_5', 'home') else 'Driving' }}"
###########################################
# Fuel Level
###########################################
- platform: template
sensors:
audi_gas:
friendly_name: "Fuel Level"
unit_of_measurement: "%"
value_template: >-
{%- if 'states.device_tracker.2015_audi_rs_5' %}
{{ 'states.device_tracker.2015_audi_rs_5.attributes.fuel_level' | round }}
{% else %}
{{ 'states.device_tracker.2015_audi_rs_5.attributes.fuel_level' | round }}
{%- endif %}
icon_template: mdi:gas-station
I don’t understand what I am doing wrong. Anyone see it?

I don’t understand what you are trying to do. It looks like you are trying to evaluate a sensor in the template window, and that’s not ever going to give you any meaningful result.
I got it to work for the location sensor and it functions, I am trying to create a sensor the fuel level. I have used this before for my batteries on my z-wave devices as well. There is something to do with the fact that it starts with a number.
It looks like you built your template around the ios battery level example on the Hass website. Try this instead to simplify it.
- platform: template
sensors:
audi_gas:
friendly_name: 'Fuel Level'
unit_of_measurement: '%'
icon_template: mdi:gas-station
entity_id: device_tracker.2015_audi_rs_5
value_template: '{{ states.device_tracker.2015_audi_rs_5.attributes.fuel_level | round(0) }}'

Getting there but I am getting some funkiness because the device starts with a number:

You need to change it from states.device_tracker.2015_audi_rs_5.attributes.fuel_level to states.device_tracker['2015_audi_rs_5'].attributes.fuel_level

Hi @pauldgifford
Can I just ask you what sensor are you using to obtain the fuel level from your vehicle and how have you linked it to HA?
Many thanks.
It’s the Automatic Sensor. I have a Pro in both my vehicles.

sorry do you mean its an automatic sensor which is built in your car?
Do you mind posting the config you use, I tried as above but keep getting errors.
After you get the automatic sensor functioning (fixed in 0.52.1), I created these:

I had a similar issue with a template sensor for a z-wave thermostat. There is an issue with templating entity attributes for an entity that starts with a number. I found that buried deep somewhere while googling the issue I was having. The solution was exactly like armills suggested. Glad you got it working.
Putting the numbered name in brackets does not work for me. And i cannot change the name.
I think you need some spaces between the brackets and apostrophes. Also between battery and the brace.
Customize:
device_tracker.988837433348514e30
friendly_name: What ever you like
Remove the period after device_tracker and add a space after battery.
