Change state (number / int) to text (string)

Configuration
1

Hi

This makes me crazy - can anyone help me understand what i am doing wrong?

I have a heatpump giving me a operation status of 1 - 7, 98, 99 and 100.
I want those to be human readable.
So, whit a litlte help i wrote:

modbus:
  - type: tcp
    name: Thermia
    host: nnn.nnn.nnn.133
    port: 502
    sensors:
      - name: wp_Operation_state
        scan_interval: 10

And

- sensor:
      - name: wp_operationmode_tekst
        unit_of_measurement: state
        state: >-
          {%- if is_state('sensor.wp_Operation_state', '0') %}
          'None'
          {%else%}
          {%- if is_state('sensor.wp_Operation_state', '1') %}
          'Manual operation'
            {%- elif is_state('sensor.wp_Operation_state', '2') %}
            'Defrost'
            {%- elif is_state('sensor.wp_Operation_state', '3') %}
            'Hot water'
            {%- elif is_state('sensor.wp_Operation_state', '4') %}
            'Heat'
            {%- elif is_state('sensor.wp_Operation_state', '5') %}
            'Cool'
            {%- elif is_state('sensor.wp_Operation_state', '6') %}
            'Pool'
            {%- elif is_state('sensor.wp_Operation_state', '7') %}
            'Anti legionella'
            {%- elif is_state('sensor.wp_Operation_state', '98') %}
            'Standby'
            {%- elif is_state('sensor.wp_Operation_state', '99') %}
            No demand
            {%- elif is_state('sensor.wp_Operation_state', '100') %}
            'Off'
          {% else %}
          Ukendt
          {%- endif %}
          {%endif%}

When using “Templates” in Developer tools, it seems to work. But when inserting it to configuration.yaml it gives state “Unknown”.

Has the state of sensor.wp_Operation_state changed since you created the text sensor?

yes:

What happens, if you comment out the line unit_of_measurement: state and reload the template?

And could you test this:


        state: |
          {% set states = states('sensor.wp_Operation_state') |int %}
          {% set text = {
            0: 'Null',
            1: 'Manual operation',
            2: 'Defrost',
            3: 'Hot water',
            4: 'Heat',
            5: 'Cool',
            6: 'Pool',
            7: 'Anti legionella',
            98: 'Standby',
            99: 'No demand',
            100: 'Off'} %}
          {{ text[states] if states in text.keys() else 'Ukent' }}

Remove this line from your sensor’s configuration:

        unit_of_measurement: state

That option is meant for a sensor that reports a numeric value. Your sensor reports a string value.
