I have 3 binary sensors and I would like to create a variable with the number 0 when all 3 are off, 1 when vent 1 is on and the other 2 are off, 2 when vent 1 and 2 are on and vent 3 is off and 3 when vent 1 and 3 are on and vent 2 is off.
sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
combined_switch:
friendly_name: "My Combined Switch"
value_template: >-
{%- set a = is_state('binary_sensor.vent_1', 'on') -%}
{%- set b = is_state('binary_sensor.vent_2', 'on') -%}
{%- set c = is_state('binary_sensor.vent_3', 'on') -%}
{%- if a and not b and not c -%} 1
{%- elif a and b and not c -%} 2
{%- elif a and c and not b -%} 3
{%- else -%} 0
{%- endif -%}
This will also be 0 if all 3 are on. You didn’t cover that case.
