Beginner problem with templates

Configuration
1

Hi, how do I have multiple templates in a yaml config file. In the following, if I comment out the 2nd one then the first will work, but if I remove this then only the second one works.

template:
  sensor:
    - name: 'Distance'
      unique_id: bmw_distance
      device_class: distance
      unit_of_measurement: mi
      state: "{{ (states('sensor.330e_remaining_range_fuel')|float * 0.62 ) |round(0) }}"

  sensor:
    - name: 'Garage Temperature'
      unique_id: rounded_garage_temp
      device_class: temperature
      unit_of_measurement: °C
      state: "{{ (states('sensor.garage_temperature')) |round(0) }}"

You only need to declare senor once and then list them:

template:
  sensor:
    - name: 'Distance'
      unique_id: bmw_distance
      device_class: distance
      unit_of_measurement: mi
      state: "{{ (states('sensor.330e_remaining_range_fuel')|float * 0.62 ) |round(0) }}"
    - name: 'Garage Temperature'
      unique_id: rounded_garage_temp
      device_class: temperature
      unit_of_measurement: °C
      state: "{{ (states('sensor.garage_temperature')) |round(0) }}"

See: Template - Home Assistant
For each type you only declare once and then make a list.

Great, that’s solved it, thank you. I knew I’d be making some simple mistake.
