Your float filters will need defaults . However, the error is due to the fact that the UI condition tester in the automation editior does not currently work for Template conditions.

### 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.
