Just add friendly names to those 3
FYI You can get around the jinja scope limitations with namespace.
{% set ns = namespace(my_items=[]) %}
{% for x in y %}
{% set ns.my_items = ns.my_items + [ 'adding item' ] %}
{% endfor %}
{{ ns.my_items }}ah, have seen that a few times, wondered what that was… assuming that makes the namespace ‘local scope’ anywhere within that YAML (but not shared / global with HA) ?
ok, it was broken but I fix it… formatting. looks like some of the spacing broke. wow intention programming is a nightmare, reminds me why I quit (my last language was early Python days, early 2000s)
here’s the working code (I hope!)…
Just use a text editor like notepad++ or vscode. Both replace tabs with spaces, you don’t even need to think about it.
There’s even a vscode addon.
I use Notepad++ daily. Is there a way to make it show the tabs? I’m saving the files as .YAML but dont see tab markers (I do, of course, in HA’s add-on editor)
NP++…
Settings → preferences → Language → Tab Size [ 4 ], check replace by space.

it’s this one
otherwise, if you hit tab, it will use tab instead of spaces, the only rule is that you can’t mix tab and spaces. You can use either or, just not both together.
are you not running the latest version?
It seems I’m not

There’s a syntax error in one of the templates
there might have been a few… no way I was going to figure that out. DeepSeek and ChatGPT found them. DS could not fix, but CGPT looks like it might have.
