With HA 2021.4.x, errors are now being generated for templates that didn’t throw errors before. I am trying to fix this for a markdown card. Originally I didn’t have the if statements
{% if states('sensor.supervisor_updates') != None %}
that I added to try to prevent the error but they aren’t working and I don’t understand why. This is the card:
- type: markdown
title: Updates Available
card_mod:
style: |
:host {
--card-mod-icon-color: #42a5f5;
font-size: 1.1em;
}
content: |
{% if states('sensor.supervisor_updates') != None %}
<ha-icon icon="mdi:home-assistant"></ha-icon> Add-ons needing update: {{ states('sensor.supervisor_updates') }}
> {% for addon in states.sensor.supervisor_updates.attributes.addons %}
> {{ addon.name }} {{ addon.version }} -> {{ addon.version_latest }}
> {% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{% if states('sensor.hacs') != None %}
<ha-icon icon="hacs:hacs"></ha-icon> HACS updates available: {{ states('sensor.hacs') }}
> {% for repo in states.sensor.hacs.attributes.repositories %}
> **{{ repo.display_name }}** _{{ repo["installed_version"] }}_ -> _{{ repo["available_version"] }}_
> {% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{% if states('sensor.supervisor_updates') != None %}

| **Observer** | {{ states.sensor.updater_observer.attributes.current_version }} | | {{ states.sensor.updater_observer.attributes.newest_version }} |
{% endif %}
This error occurs 3 times on HA startup:
2021-04-11 12:22:50 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.helpers.template] Template variable error: 'None' has no attribute 'attributes' when rendering '{% if states('sensor.supervisor_updates') != None %}

{% endif %}'
I understand that the error is about attributes, but I thought that if the sensor is None, it would dump out of the if block and it would never be looking at the attributes. Any help would be much appreciated!

Yes, thanks, I had read it, and I understand that I have to guard for the missing sensors on startup - that’s what I am struggling with.

Ok, I’ll explain what the hint means for your code.
You should change {{ states('sensor.supervisor_updates') }} to{{ states('sensor.supervisor_updates') | default }}.{{ states('sensor.supervisor_updates') | default(None) }}
And do the same for {{ states('sensor.hacs') }}
With this there’s no need for if-statements.

I appreciate your help, thank you very much for your time. I tried using the | default before I tried using the if statements. I just tried again, removing the if statements, using both | default and | default(None) in just the two main sensors, and then in every set of {{ }} and it still throws the same error in all cases. So there is something that I still don’t understand…

Can you show the exact error when you use | default }}?
And maybe you can start over with one of the three parts that I see in your content, to not muddy the water too much?

Okay, I simplified it way down. Here is the card now:
- type: markdown
title: Updates Available
content: |
<ha-icon icon="mdi:home-assistant"></ha-icon> Add-ons needing update: {{ states('sensor.supervisor_updates') | default(None) }}
> {% for addon in states.sensor.supervisor_updates.attributes.addons %}
> {{ addon.name }} {{ addon.version }} -> {{ addon.version_latest }}
> {% endfor %}
Here’s what the card currently looks like after HA finishes starting:
And here are the errors:

I’d suggest adding an if-statement in another place, the error is caused by states.sensor.supervisor_updates.attributes.addons.
- type: markdown
title: Updates Available
content: |
<ha-icon icon="mdi:home-assistant"></ha-icon> Add-ons needing update: {{ states('sensor.supervisor_updates') | default(None) }}
if states('sensor.supervisor_updates') != None

Thank you so much, Petro, that’s fixed it! I still don’t understand why the if statements didn’t work,
For reference, if anyone comes across this and is interested, here’s my final working card that throws no errors on HA startup:

<ha-icon icon="hacs:hacs"></ha-icon> HACS updates available: {{ states('sensor.hacs') | default }}

Hello everyone. I receive a template sensor error with a markdown card
Here is my code located in the decluttering_templates.yaml card:
summary:
card:
type: markdown
card_mod:
style: |
ha-card {
background: none;
box-shadow: none;
font-family: Quicksand;
margin-bottom: -0.9em;
text-align: center
}
content: |
{{ states("sensor.date_fr") | default }}, nous fêtons les {{ states("sensor.nameday_fr") | default }}
{{ states.sensor.summary.attributes.text }}
And here is the error:
Template variable error: ‘None’ has no attribute ‘attributes’ when rendering ‘{{ states(“sensor.date_fr”) | default }}, nous fêtons les {{ states(“sensor.nameday_fr”) | default }} {{ states.sensor.summary.attributes.text }}’
I hope someone can help me solve it.
Thanks.

Because you’re not using state_attr, you’re using the long form for getting attributes. That’s prone to issues when the entities don’t exist

I see your answer above state_attr(‘sensor.supervisor_updates’, ‘addons’) but I am confused with the braces and bracket placement.

All you have to understand is that you should replace all instances of
states.abc.xyz.attributes.ijk
with
state_attr('abc.xyz', 'ijk')
