I would like to turn on the AC when the temperature rises above 25C
After typing the following in Developer Tools , it shows me true.
{{ states.climate.klima_gabinet.attributes.current_temperature | int > 25 }}
Unfortunately, when I add the following condition in the automation, I get an error message: template value should be a string for dictionary value @ data['value_template']. Got None
condition: template
value_template: "{{ states.climate.klima_gabinet.attributes.current_temperature | int > 25 }}"
what am I doing wrong?

Other than ignoring this recommendation:
Use this format instead:
value_template: "{{ state_attr('climate.klima_gabinet', 'current_temperature') | int(0) > 25 }}"
You did nothing wrong. It is an issue with the template editor.

### The problem
In order to implement a somewhat more complex template conditio… n, I came across the problem that (at least testing) templates conditions do not work (anymore).
What I did:
Create a simple automation having a template condition:
```
- condition: template
value_template: "{{ 1 > 2 }}"
```
So, this is extremely simplifed. The expression should return False, but instead I get the following error when testing this expression in the condition frontend (under automatisations):
`Error handling message: template value should be a string for dictionary value @ data['value_template']. Got None (invalid_format)`
If I enter the same snippet of code in the templates section un der developer tools, it prints false.
Either there is a problem in the code just adding the template condition in the automatisation frontend or something is completely borked.
