There is already an if option, allowing you to make this modification to fuatakgun’s code:

i am personally avoiding if because unavailable will fall into else case, right?

It will, though I generally don’t have (local) sensors going to unavailable. If that’s happening to you then your system has problems.

some of my integrations (too old or tired to debug) are going into unavailable while starting up the system and awkwardly I am starting up too much :slight_smile:
