Help create sensor template to ignore certain value

Configuration
1

Hi guys,

I’ve tried creating sensor template to ignore certain value (1000 in this case) but failed.

Could you please help?

Sensor output is taken from modbus device.

Here’s my current config:

Thank you kindly!

Sure, sorry, this was only thing I had on hand until now.

  sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      filtered_pm25cleanr:
          unit_of_measurement: μg/m3
          value_template: "{% if states('sensor.pm25cleanr') == 1000 %}      {% else %}        {{ states('sensor.pm25cleanr') }}        {% endif %}"

This should do it.

  sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      filtered_pm25cleanr:
        unit_of_measurement: μg/m3
        value_template: >
          {% if states('sensor.pm25cleanr') == 1000 %}
            {{ states('sensor.filtered_pm25cleanr') }}
          {% else %}
            {{ states('sensor.pm25cleanr') }}
          {% endif %}

If the new value = 1000, keep that last value.

Thanks Tom, unfortunately this doesn’t do the job :frowning:

When 1000 appears, it does use this value.

Try:

{% if states('sensor.pm25cleanr')|int == 1000 %}

or:

{% if states('sensor.pm25cleanr') == '1000' %}

States are always strings, so you can either convert and compare to a number, or compare to a string that looks like the number.

The |int did the job.

Thank you both!
