Can't see added sesnor

Configuration
1

Hello.
I’m newbie with home assitant so my question may seems stupid, but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

I’ve added integration for Xiaomi Air Purifier 2S, but I can’t see any sensors from this device:

So I’ve tried to add it manually, because I can see values in device attributes

My configuration.yaml:

# Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)
default_config:

# Text to speech
tts:
  - platform: google_translate

group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml
sensor: !include sensors.yaml

and sensors.yaml:

#Air purifier
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      air_purifier_bedroom_aqi:
      friendly_name: PM2.5
      entity_id:
        -  fan.oczyszczacz_powietrza
      unit_of_measurement: μg/m³
      value_template: "{{ state_attr('fan.oczyszczacz_powietrza', 'aqi' }}"

I’ve hard restared hass (by restarting hosting device) and I can’t see my sensor

What I’m doing wrong? :frowning: Thank you for your time.

Wrong indentation, entity_id is not part of the template sensor config and a missing bracket in the value_template, try this:

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      air_purifier_bedroom_aqi:
        friendly_name: PM2.5
        unit_of_measurement: μg/m³
        value_template: "{{ state_attr('fan.oczyszczacz_powietrza', 'aqi') }}"

Also check your logs, there’s probably an error in there.

I applied tour changes but still doesn’t work.
Now sensors.yaml looks like this:

#Air purifier
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      air_purifier_bedroom_aqi:
      friendly_name: PM2.5
      unit_of_measurement: μg/m³
      value_template: "{{ state_attr('fan.oczyszczacz_powietrza', 'aqi') }}"

In log file I see:

It seems not that you applied all changes
Your indentation is still wrong

You need to indent the last 3 lines just like in my example.

Yeah, it works! Thank you!
Ehh… just yaml things… couldn’t it be just json :smirk:
