yes, in a package

23

That will work

The first one doesn’t because the interior double quote isn’t escaped

How is it supposed to be?

25

See the post I replied to. That code will work.

26

But it is not, Home-Assistant says “Configuration Invalid”

27

Because you still haven’t used it. Your “proof of trying it posts” show you using the previous one provided by Tom. His latest will work.

Edit: I’m on mobile and having trouble quoting.

This from Tom

value_template: >
  {{ value|replace('"','') }}
28

Sorry - I did not see the message of tom sorry. Thank you for help.

@tom_l
@petro

sorry - And thanks for the help.

29

So like this?

value_template: "{{ value|replace('\"','') }}"

I remember that single quotes are escaped with single quotes but double quotes use the backslash, yes?

30

Yeah. That should work.

31

\ will work for escaping any character typically. Admittedly, I don’t have it memorized for jinja, but it should work similar to python.

You do realise ha has a glances integration, rendering all this unnecessary?

There is no everything - the operating time of the server, one example.

34

Yes I see that now. Maybe a feature request?

# curl http://localhost:61208/api/3/sensors/label/acpitz 1
{'acpitz 1': [{'critical': 105,
               'key': 'label',
               'label': 'acpitz 1',
               'type': 'temperature_core',
               'unit': 'C',
               'value': 27,
               'warning': 105}]}

my code:

  - platform: rest
    name: "Pi-4 Sensors"
    resource: http://192.168.1.244:61208/api/3/sensors
    value_template: "{{ value_json.unit }}"
    unit_of_measurement: "C"

I do not think it’s true - so asking for help. I’m not a programmer

36

That is not valid json. This is:

{"acpitz 1": [{"critical": 105,
               "key": "label",
               "label": "acpitz 1",
               "type": "temperature_core",
               "unit": "C",
               "value": 27,
               "warning": 105}]}

Did you copy it correctly?

37

I copied a … Apparently I did not copy true.

38

When you open this http://192.168.1.244:61208/api/3/sensors in a web browser what do you see?
