Help with template with IF this OR this ELSE this

Configuration
1

HI,

can someone please help me with this template?

I’ve made in in dev tools and in this environment it works.

When I copy pasted it to vscode I see many error and in effect config is wrong.

{% if is_state('sensor.ultimo_carico', 'lavastoviglie') or is_state('sensor.ultimo_carico', 'lavatrice')  %}
  Il controllo carichi ha spento la {{ states('sensor.ultimo_carico') }}.
{% else %}
  Il controllo carichi ha spento il {{ states('sensor.ultimo_carico') }}.
{% endif %}

Thank you in advance!

There’s nothing wrong with that template. Show where it is used.

Found out:

This was a message and the > symbol was missing:

          message: >
              {% if is_state('sensor.ultimo_carico', 'lavastoviglie') or is_state('sensor.ultimo_carico', 'lavatrice')  %}
                Il controllo carichi ha spento la {{ states('sensor.ultimo_carico') }}.
              {% else %}
                Il controllo carichi ha spento il {{ states('sensor.ultimo_carico') }}.
              {% endif %}```

If you’re interested, you can also write the template like this:

          message: >
            {% set s = state('sensor.ultimo_carico') %}
            Il controllo carichi ha spento {{'la' if s in ['lavastoviglie', 'lavatrice'] else 'il'}} {{s}}.
