I know, I just used ml to test with to make it easier, then when calibrated to ml ill change it back to mm

Doesnt like something. Pretty sure the indentation is correct.

[filters] is an invalid option for [sensor.mlx90393]. Did you mean [filter]?

Also, trying out this template. I have not put the values in yet, but U get the following error.
So what I understand from this is that this particular sensor does to print a STATE value?
Maybe use something else?

Ok sorry got this one,
Using the wrong sensor, was using the entire MLX instead of one of its actual sensors, X for example.
id(x).state
Ok, I tried this and that didnt work…

Just displays N and something is not Right…
N - start: 318.10000 finish 2700.00000

E - start: 3320.10000 finish 1600.00000

W - start: 3330.10000 finish -2140.00000
NW - start -2140.10000 finish 318.00000
How about logging id(x).state and the return.
The log output of the state for X
[11:43:36][D][text_sensor:064]: 'Cardinal Wind Direction': Sending state 'N'

And as you turn it, is it giving expected results?
Well, not sure what is expected,
But the value changes, yes.
Seems lie a real pain in the @ss for some sensor data that you can just import from a local weather api. Sure, you won’t get precise wind speed and rain measurement for your front yard but, it’s pretty accurate where I am. Plenty accurate to skip this headache. Just saying. Easier to buy a gallon of milk than it is to buy the cow and milk it.
From the esp log output.
I used my phone compass to point the vane to a known heading, eg N, then read the value printed by X axis.
Yea but I have this weather station, got it free, might aswell use it.

For a start, the Cardinal direction will only update every 10s, maybe increase to 1s for testing.
Next, the first if has an or operator ||, the rest have an and operator &&. I am having trouble getting my head around that.
yes I did change to 1s for instant updates
Looking again at
N - start: 318.10000 finish 2700.00000
NE - start: 7200.10000 finish 3320.00000
E - start: 3320.10000 finish 1600.00000
SE - start: 1600.10000 finish -815.00000
S - start: -815.10000 finish -2530.00000
SW - start: 2530.1000 finish -3330.00000
W - start: 3330.10000 finish -2140.00000
NW - start -2140.10000 finish 318.00000
Doesn’t make much sense. EG SW finishes at -3330, but W starts at 3330. Same with the S/SW transition. N/NE transition 2700 vs 7200.
Maybe some kind of decilination or offset?
There could even be a way to calibrate this think IDK.
Could we somehow offset it in code?
This is the magnetometer
So your observation definitely shows a jump from -3330 to +3330 when you go from SW to W?
