Help with value_template and conditional 'if'

Configuration
1

Hi, I need some help with configuring this senson with rest and value_template. In my configuration.yml file:

  - platform: rest
    resource: http://localhost:3000/api/v1/hvac
    json_attributes:
      - data
    name: airzone
    method: POST
    payload: '{"systemID":1,"zoneID":0}'
    scan_interval: 60
    value_template: 'OK'
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      blueface_status:
        friendly_name: Status
        value_template: {{ states.sensor.airzone.attributes.data.0.on }}

{{ states.sensor.airzone.attributes.data.0.on }} show values 0 or 1, depending on the operating status. It’s ok.

Is it possible to use an ‘if’, as an example although it is incorrect, to be able to show “running -> 1” and “stopped -> 0”?

Ex:

        value_template: >-
-->      {% if {{ states.sensor.airzone.attributes.data.0.on }} == '1' %} <--
            Running 
          {% else %}
            Stopped
          {% endif %}

Thks in advance.

Cyn you please show how the sensor looks like in the states page?

Try like this:

value_template: >-
  {% if state_attr('sensor.airzone', 'data')['0']['on'] == 1 %}
     Running 
  {% else %}
     Stopped
  {% endif %}

First thanks for your reply.
I have done the test and it does not work. Do you mean json as an example?

{
	"data":	[{
			"systemID":	1,
			"zoneID":	1,
			"on":	1,
			"maxTemp":	30,
			"minTemp":	15,
			"setpoint":	20.500000,
			"roomTemp":	23.100000,
			"modes":	[1, 1, 4, 2, 3, 5],
			"mode":	3,
			"coldStages":	1,
			"coldStage":	1,
			"heatStages":	2,
			"heatStage":	2,
			"humidity":	61,
			"units":	0,
			"errors":	[]
		}, {
			"systemID":	1,
			"zoneID":	7,
			"on":	0,
			"maxTemp":	30,
			"minTemp":	15,
			"setpoint":	23,
			"roomTemp":	21.100000,
			"coldStages":	0,
			"coldStage":	0,
			"heatStages":	2,
			"heatStage":	2,
			"humidity":	67,
			"units":	0,
			"errors":	[]
		}]
}

Thks again!

No I mean the sensor.airzone when you go to Developer Tools -> States.
Try with removing the single quotes around the 0, I assumed 0 was the name of the dict.

value_template: >-
  {% if state_attr('sensor.airzone', 'data')[0]['on'] == 1 %}
     Running 
  {% else %}
     Stopped
  {% endif %}

try

        value_template: >
          {% set v = states.sensor.airzone.attributes.data[0].on %}
          {% set n = 'Running' if v else 'Stopped' %}
          {{ n }} -> {{ v }}
