How to get rid of old template entities?

I’m trying to migrate my old template entities to the new format but notice that not only do all the old template entities remain (after restarts, reloads, etc) but they cannot be removed because they don’t have a the unique ID. So this is to say that this old style: switch: - platform: template switches: my_switch: ... Sticks around, even though I’m now using an entirely different file and the new template style. How do I get rid of these old templated devices?

Unable to add "state_class" into my template sensor

I’ve added a sensor into my configuration.yaml as such: sensor: - platform: template sensors: gas_meter_counter_m3: value_template: "{{ ((states.counter.gas_meter_counter.state | float) / 100) }}" unit_of_measurement: "m³" device_class: "gas" but as soon as I add state_class: "total_increasing" beneath the device_class line, the sensor disappears from Home Assistant (doesn’t show up in developer tools or anything either) What am I doing wrong?

How to get rid of old template entities?

Did you find solution yet? I’m trying the create a template image entity. Because documentation on how to create these is hard to understand, and now I also have an bunch of entities which I can seem to remove. The delete button is greyed out. I wish these kind of things were more intuitive in HA or at least that the documentation would provide complete(!) yaml examples.

Template self referencing "this"

Playing with templates. (not the legacy way, but the “new” way) See docs… In tht “state” part of the template, I can reference an attribute like “this.attriibutes.myattributename” Isn’t is possible in the “attributes part”, to reference to another attribute? I get errors in the logging that it doesn’t “know” the referenced attribute. Someone had a problem with this too? Or, isn’t it possible.

Trigger Template, How to...?

Hi! I want to make an automation which triggers with a template, but I don’t know what I’m wrong… I want to do some actions, if timestamp is lower than 1 (which is not). But everytime I run the automation, I will still receive the message… I have this code till now alias: test description: '' trigger: - platform: template value_template: '{{ as_timestamp(now())|int < 1 }}' condition: [] action: - service: notify.persistent_notification data: message: ok mode: single

Does anyone have an example of Template Sensors / Triggers?

I would like to use templates for two use cases: (1) I would like to have a single battery sensor which state shows the lowest battery value of any battery operated device in Home Assistant. Is it possible to iterate through all battery operated devices, e.g. I don’t want to explicitly to refer to the devices. I should not have to update the template sensor if I add a new device. (2) I would like to create a template sensor (template trigger) which would trigger any of sensors in that template…

How to use templates with picture-elements card?

Hi, I start playing with the “picture-elements”. I would like to change dynamically the background-color when the “humidity” of one sensor is above 50% (visual feedback, kind of alerting). I am back to even a more basic question: is templating supported in this card ? As an example below, I simply try to have the “Title” being displayed dynamically without success But when reopening the editor (in lovelace), the row {{ states(‘counter.presence_hall’)}} has been replaced by ’[object Objec…

If it didn’t have an id all you have to do is delete the yaml config and restart. If it did have an id you should be able to delete it from the configuration entities list after deleting the yaml and restarting.

How to get rid of old template entities?

You don’t get a pop up box when you click on the entity that says something like “this is an orphan…” with an option to remove the entity? If not then you may have to edit the .storage files manually to delete them.

How to add 'unique_id' to templates

Hello, I’m trying to setup a series of simple entities that reflect the direction/vector across any two motion sensors, and from there build some clever automations that watch those entities. I have a template with two test sensors working, but I can’t seem to get the “unique_id” property to reflect in HA’s interface. The below just gives me an entity named “sensor.test_a”: - unique_id: asdf - sensor: name: a_to_b state: > {{ is_state("binary_sensor.roomA_sensor_motion", "on")…

How to make a "platform: template" entity with attributes?

I am using an Elgato stream deck, and I can display multi-line output for a single button… but only if the data comes from the attributes of a single sensor. This works with yahoofinance and rest platform entities, but I can’t figure out how to do it with a template platform entity. This code creates four separate entities: - platform: template sensors: pge: friendly_name: "PG&E" value_template: >- {{ states('sensor.eagle_200_meter_power_demand') | int }}…
