I am looking to concatenate the value of several sensors into one new sensor. So for example,
pick4_1 = 8
pick4_2 = 9
pick4_3 = 2
pick4_4 = 2
new sensor = 8922
I expect to need to do this in a new value template. But am not sure exactly how to express it. The closest I could get was:
- platform: template
sensors:
pick4:
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.pick_4_number_1'),states('sensor.pick_4_number_2'),states('sensor.pick_4_number_3'),states('sensor.pick_4_number_4')}}"
friendly_name: 'Pick 4 Lotto'
However, this returns as (‘8’, ‘9’, ‘2’, ‘2’)
Any modification from this point results in an unavailable value or just total nonsense. Someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks!
