Error while processing template: Template

HI All,

I get this error for some one my sensors when I restart HA, Zwave device is not ready at moment when HA was restarted.
Can someone tell me how to solve this?

Try this for the template:

{{ state_attr('sensor.zwave2mqtt_nodeid_77_electricity_kwh_meter', 'value') | float('Unavailable') }}

{{ state_attr(‘sensor.zwave2mqtt_nodeid_77_electricity_kwh_meter’, ‘value’) | float(‘Unavailable’) }}

Seems to work !! Thank you
Can I also do float(‘2000’) so when sensor is not ready the value will always show 2000?

Is that the correct way how I read this line?

EDIT: Have my answer already. Tried it. Worked… Now updated other sensors and all errors are gone while reboot HA
