Filtering power usage isnt seen in template, how to fix?

Configuration
1

using this rather contrived template, I am searching for power sensors that should be switched off, but are not correctly so for some reason, and still using power.

this was working just fine until the moment I decided to have my zwave sensors show their self power usage, so they’re always showing 0.5/0.8 even when off. filtering these doesnt work just yet

that is, they are filtered completely, and the or states(s.entity_id) == 0.5 bit is ignored…

please have a look what I should change to also have that incorporated? And ofc if there’s an obvious improvement please don’t hold back :wink:

thanks!

states returns a string and you’re comping it to a float

hi, (I thought I had deleted the message because I believed to have found the fix)

template:

              {% else %}
                {{list[:-1]|join(', ')}}, and {{list[-1]}} are still using power!
              {% endif %}

making that comparing 2 strings…
but that might be not as correct as you’d like it to be.

I’d better do

states(s.entity_id)|float(0) != 0.5

?

Yes, states are strings so you need to convert
