For a long time I used a template that calculated extra print costs (1 euro) for every 10 pages ( = one block) I printed to much, now my printer cost for extra pages went from 1 euro to 1.5 euro.
The template uses an input number that I set in my lovelace.
# The cost of each overprint block, in £
# SET THIS ACCORDING TO YOUR PLAN
hp_printer_pages_overprint_block_cost:
name: "HP Printer - Over Print Block Cost"
min: 0
max: 50
step: 0.01
unit_of_measurement: "EUR"
icon: "mdi:currency-eur"
mode: box
I have changes the input from 1 to 1.5, however the calculation keep setting +1 for every 10 pages (1 block) for overprinting instead of + 1.5.
can someone see whats wrong in this template?
# The cost so far of the pages that have been printed over the standard Available plus Rollover Available
# Calculated when each page is printed, and at the start of each new Instant Ink period

Using int definitely won’t work: that’ll turn 1.5 into 1.
Your template is overly long and complicated. Please explain in simple words what each of the entities represents and what the template needs to return.
I think it reduces to something like this, as your {% elif %} and {% else %} templates are identical. You probably don’t need the two branches at all but I cba to figure it out.

It is part of a whole package (i will place the code below).
Please explain in simple words what each of the entities represents and what the template needs to return.
I have a print plan with 50 page a month, when I ‘overprint’ above those 50 I always paid 1,- extra costs, the price is now changed to 1,5 and as of this my old template does not work anymore, I have changed the op_block_cost to 1,5 but it still rounds to 1, 2, 3 (or 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 now)
The op_block_size is the amount of pages (for example 10 pages should add 1,5 euro extra to the op_block_cost)

Put the whole template that isn’t giving the desired result (the bit under state:) into Developer Tools / Template and work on it there.
You have a lot of |int filters in your templates, so I’m not surprised it’s rounding. A blanket change to |float might be a good starting point to see if that fixes it, then you can revert the true integers (like page counts).
I replaced all sensors with values, and it seems something is wrong or wrong formatted in the calculation. When i round the multiply to 1 or 2 or 3 it works, but not with .5
Float / int makes no difference, always a wrong result with .5
You do not need most of those ints and floats. 55 is already a number: 55|int does nothing.
The only time you need to use those are to convert entity states, which are always strings, into numbers.
In your third example, both your elif and your else templates end with an int.
Your calculations are still too complex for me to work out what’s going on. Try replacing each entity with a variable name like in my first response above. By putting the appropriate ints and floats at that level, you then don’t need them in the calculations.
