Fixed that mistake. Thank you very much.
But, now, another one appears:
Invalid config for [sensor.template]: [entity] is an invalid option for [sensor.template]. Check: sensor.template->sensors->moon_phases->entity. (See ?, line ?). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.template/
Where’s the mistake?
not really sure, my eyes are dead for the moment (been updating my 84.3 to 94.4…)
this is what I use:
moon_phases:
friendly_name_template: >
{{states('sensor.moon_phases')}}
value_template: >
{{states('sensor.moon').capitalize().replace('_',' ')}}
entity_picture_template: >
{% set state = states('sensor.moon') %}
{{ '/local/weather/moonphases/{}.jpg'.format(state) }}
note the different approach on title versus capitalize.
also, be 100% positive about the files, names and location.
wait!: You have entity: sensor.moon
that is incorrect, should be entity_id: sensor.moon
as you can see, I don’t use that at all, because the HA instance can find entity_id in the template to use. So, first correct it, test, and if working, comment it out, and test again 
Corrected entity:id.
Now check config does not give error. But I don’t see the icons with the image of the phases of the moon.
I have a doubt.
JPG files are in HASSIO>config>www>luna
In the template file what should I write:
sensors:
moon_phases:
entity_id: sensor.moon
o
sensors:
luna:
entity_id: sensor.moon
Thank you very much for your interest
that doesn’t reply matter, it’s only the name of the sensor, (unless you use my example for friendly_name_template in which case it should be the same as the template of course, see my example)
if your files are in config/www/luna/, the template needs to be
{{ '/local/luna/{}.jpg'.format(state) }}
do you have any errors?
could you post the template in the dev-template page and make a screenshot of the output?
like this:
its important the files are case sensitive, so you need to have the template output exactly what the files are called. Or vice versa of course
ok that’s is good start,
you either need your image files to be WaningGibbous.jpg, or if you want only lowercase file names with an underscore between the words (like I do…) you’d need to change the template a bit.
Please show me a screen shot of your files, like this (with the path in view, so we can check the correct path in the template)
Is this what you’re asking me to do?
Perhaps you should name the files in Spanish. For example:
NWanninggibbous = NGibosamenguante
no, it’s clear. All files have a capital N in front of them. You rename the and take out the N of all files, and your template will work.
This is from files going over the web, where the N was meant for Northern Hemisphere. Since I didn’t need that I just took these out.
Thank you very much for your patience.
Now I change the names and restart Home Assistant
Realized the change, restarted H.A.
The moon icon does not show the image.
Now I have to leave it. Tomorrow I try it with your template.
Thank you
that is probably the sensor.moon, not sensor.moon_phases ?
you should add the sensor.moon_phases to a card or group to have it displayed in the front end
Changed sensor and success.
Now I have to change the text from English to Spanish.
Wanning Gibbous = Gibosa menguante.
great!
not sure what will happen if you change the language. Is HA set to spanish?
no matter what, you want the name of the files to be the same as the state of the sensor.
That means you either adjust the names of the files (like you did now), or change the template to have an outcome you desire.
If you use the state of a regular sensor (so not a template sensor you make yourself) you have to use that, (and check it in the dev-state, because the frontend doens’t always show the state as is, it adapts it to eg a device_class, or language setting)
for example. A binary sensor is true/false, on/off etc etc. using a device_class: motion changes that to detected/clear…
my point being: anything is possible, just figure out what you want and adapt accordingly
we’re here to help!
I have HA configured in Spanish.
I tried renaming the image file WanningGibbous.jpg to GibosaMenguante.jpg and then the icon doesn’t appear.
Some time ago, thanks to the help of forum member 123, I had prepared this template.
###### Fases de la Luna ##########################

# Nombre en español de Fases de la luna

{% set fase = states('sensor.moon') %}
{{ fases[fase] if fase in fases.keys() else 'fase lunar desconocida' }}
I think it’s a little exaggerated, but I think it’ll work.
What do you think?
well, if it works for you, its fine by me
but, this is simply a name mapper, and not the sensor for your images.
If you’d want that sensor to check this sensor for spanish names, you need to adjust that.
its getting a bit complex like this, but so you understand what you’re doing:
1- create this name mapper, called sensor.moon_phases, which has as state, the names of the moon phases in spanish.
2 take that sensor as base for you image sensor to follow the spanish names, and adjust the file names accordingly.
or am I misunderstanding you now?
After consulting the documentation and examples of templates and several attempts I have not succeeded.
First I changed the name of a file from WaningGibbous.jpg to GibosaMenguante.jpg. So, in the card appears the name in Spanish, but, disappears the icon.
Then I tried with my template and the name is still in English.
Check config is valid and, apparently, the template is fine
This is the templates section of my configuration file:

I have come to the conclusion, I do not know if it is correct, that, instead of two templates, only one template is needed, which serves for both things, icons and names. Unfortunately, my lack of knowledge of programming languages and my difficulties with English, make me unable to find the right syntax for the template.
Again, abusing your patience and generosity, I am forced to ask for your help. Thank you.
try this:
sensor:
moon_phases:
fiendly_name: Luna
entity_id: sensor.moon
value_template: >
{% set phases = { 'new_moon':'Luna nueva', 'waxing_crescent':'Luna creciente', 'first_quarter':'Cuarto creciente', 'waxing_gibbous':'Gibosa creciente', 'full_moon':'Luna llena', 'waning_gibbous':'Gibosa menguante', 'last_quarter':'Cuarto menguante', 'waning_crescent':'Lluna menguante'} %}
{% set phase = states('sensor.moon') %}
{{ phases[phase] if phase in phases.keys() else 'fase lunar desconocida' }}
entity_picture_template: >
{% set state = states('sensor.moon_phases').replace(' ','_')|lower %}
{{ '/local/luna/{}.jpg'.format(state) }}
fyi the last line could also be:
{{ '/local/luna/' + state + '.jpg'}}
and have the names of the images use only lower case and use a _ between words:
fase_lunar_desconocida.jpg
lluna_menguante.jpg
etc etc.
what this entity picture does is take the state of your template sensor moon phases, (which are the moon phases translated to spanish) and then simply replaces the space with a _ and turns lower case…
hope this works
Again, thank you very much for your patience and help. But before I start, I have a question. What syntax is the right one:
