Base on switches state, set sensor value

Configuration
1

Hello,

Looking for help to create sensor that will have value of current running program on dish machine. Home Connect showing me all programs as separate switches, so I wanted to check every switch and based on which is ‘on’ set value of my sensor to use it later in dashboard to show which program is running right now.

I wrote:

- sensor:
    - name: "Wash machine running program"
      unique_id: "wash_machine_running_program"
      state: >
          {% if state_attr('switch.zmywarka_do_naczyn_poznan_program_quick65') == 'on' %}
            Quick65
          {% elif state_attr('switch.zmywarka_do_naczyn_poznan_program_quick45') == 'on' %}
            Quick45
          {% elif state_attr('switch.zmywarka_do_naczyn_poznan_program_prerinse') == 'on' %}
            PreRinse
          {% elif state_attr('switch.zmywarka_do_naczyn_poznan_program_nightwash') == 'on' %}
            NightWash
          {% elif state_attr('switch.zmywarka_do_naczyn_poznan_program_machinecare') == 'on' %}
            MachineCare
          {% elif state_attr('switch.zmywarka_do_naczyn_poznan_program_intensiv70') == 'on' %}
            Intensiv70
          {% elif state_attr('switch.zmywarka_do_naczyn_poznan_program_glas40') == 'on' %}
            Glas40
          {% elif state_attr('switch.zmywarka_do_naczyn_poznan_program_eco50') == 'on' %}
            Eco50
          {% elif state_attr('switch.zmywarka_do_naczyn_poznan_program_auto2') == 'on' %}
            Auto2
          {% else %} off
          {% endif %}

But after that sensor is in “unavailable” state even if at the end there is
{% else %} off

How to do it ?

It’s unavailable because there’s an error in the template.

Use the states() function, not the state_attr() function.

Example 1

state: >
   {% if states('switch.zmywarka_do_naczyn_poznan_program_quick65') == 'on' %}
     Quick65

You can also do it like this with the is_state() function.

Example 2

state: >
   {% if is_state('switch.zmywarka_do_naczyn_poznan_program_quick65', 'on') %}
     Quick65
