hi everyone, i have a little trouble setting up the new dashboard. to be more specific the battery power sensor. i recive the information with negativ is dischargeing and positv is charging. so i created a template helper witch chamge - to + and + to -. the helper worked and i set it to deivce clase: power and state_class to measuerment. the unit of mesuerment is W. but i don´t see this sensor in the dropdown. what am i doing wrong? thanks in advnaced
Please share the configuration yaml for your template sensors.
sure sorry. i have the following enterd in the helper template:
{{ states('sensor.victron_mqtt_battery_0_battery_power') | int(0) * -1 }}
and in my customize.yaml i have
number.batterie_leistung:
device_class: power
state_class: measurement
until now sensore did not apper in dropdown.
That isn’t the template helper.
ok i am in devices → helper → new → template. what will be the correct way?
Settings → Devices & Services → Helpers tab → + Create Helper button → Template → Sensor
Ok worked that way. now i have a red
here and i am not able to give this template a Zone or any thing else.
Share the settings you used.
nevermind. and for anyone how read this. you can do this in enterties not helper.
@tom_l thanks for your support.
What does this mean?
the icone, lable, zone, can be edit under enterties. because after you setup an helper it will appeare in enterties.
That can also be done from the helpers list. Click the entity. Click the cog icon in the pop-up card.
