I have two sensors that are virtually identical yet they behave differently when displaying their history. On examination, I found that the one that produced the desired display was using a slightly different source sensor in the template. The problem is that the template in question is deemed uneditable in the UI as apparently it has no UID. I would edit the source file but unfortunately I cannot find it. It shows up in the list of Helper files but as someone has pointed out, template files that were not created using the Helpers function also show up there. It does not appear in the sensor or template folders under the config folder. I have searched through the hidden .storage folder and found the templates wherein that template sensor is used as a source but not the actual template sensor that I seek. I recently removed the defunct ‘UI Template’ integration and was sure that I removed the entities created there after recreating them in the Helpers function. It’s in there somewhere but I’ll be jiggered if I know where. Any ideas?
VSCode can search your entire config directory for a keyword. Use the search icon on the right hand menu.
I found the file, actually. Apparently, when I created the template-sensor I was trying out a new approach to a time based result and I named the file ‘Test’ and never renamed it. The sensor name internal to the template was the name I was searching. Duuhhh.
Thanks for the reply.
