Help with template using "like"

Configuration
1

Hey all,
so i have various rads and i want to setup an alert if any of them have a fault.
first im putting the evohome values into a template.
then i want an auotmation if any of those values for them changes to like “fault” or “low battery”

config
sensor template

      kitchen_warning:
        friendly_name: "Radiator Kitchen Warning"
        value_template: >
          {% if state_attr('climate.kitchen', 'status').active_faults %}
          {% if state_attr('climate.kitchen', 'status').active_faults[0].fault_type == 'TempZoneActuatorLowBattery' %}
            Kitchen Radiator: Low Battery
          {% endif %}
            Kitchen Radiator: Fault
          {% else %}
            Kitchen Radiator: All ok
          {% endif %}

      landing_warning:
        friendly_name: "Radiator Landing Warning"
        value_template: >
          {% if state_attr('climate.landing', 'status').active_faults %}
          {% if state_attr('climate.landing', 'status').active_faults[0].fault_type == 'TempZoneActuatorLowBattery' %}
            Landing Radiator: Low Battery
          {% endif %}
            Landing Radiator: Fault
          {% else %}
            Landing Radiator: All ok
          {% endif %}

      livng_room_warning:
        friendly_name: "Radiator Livng Room Warning"
        value_template: >
          {% if state_attr('climate.livng_room', 'status').active_faults %}
          {% if state_attr('climate.livng_room', 'status').active_faults[0].fault_type == 'TempZoneActuatorLowBattery' %}
            Livng Room Radiator: Low Battery
          {% endif %}
            Livng Room Radiator: Fault
          {% else %}
            Livng Room Radiator: All ok
          {% endif %}

not sure what to change ‘eq’ and have it “like” fault to however?

- alias: 'rad alert fault'
  id: rad_alert_fault_on
  trigger:
    platform: template
    value_template: >
      {% set rads = [states.sensor.kitchen_warning,
                     states.sensor.landing_warning,
                     states.sensor.livng_room_warning] %}
      {{ rads | selectattr('state', '?????', 'fault') | list | count > 0 }}
    for:
      minutes: 1

Currently, the states of all three sensors are not standardized because they also include the monitored sensor’s name (I’m not sure why that’s needed). If you standardize the states (low_battery, fault, OK), then your automation’s template can simply use == to test for fault.

Thanks, but how would I know which was at fault?
