How to count is_state value of sensors

Configuration
1

Hi, I am trying to count the state attribute of some cover sensors is false.

Below give me the result of “False”, so that is correct.

{{ is_state_attr('cover.garage_104_1_107','current_position','100') }}

The next step below has to be result 1, but the last line of code is not correct.
Does anyone know how to achieve this?

{% set cover = [
  is_state_attr('cover.garage_104_1_107','current_position','100'),
  is_state_attr('cover.garage_104_1_107','current_position','0'),
  ] %}
{{ cover | selectattr('state', 'eq', 'False')| list | count }}

Your list contains booleans (not objects anymore).

Also remember that states are always strings, but attributes retain their type.

Try this:

{% set cover = [
  is_state_attr('cover.garage_104_1_107', 'current_position', 100),
  is_state_attr('cover.garage_104_1_107', 'current_position', 0),
  ] %}
{{ cover | select('==', False)| list | count }}

An improved version:

{% set cover = [
  'cover.garage_104_1_107',
  'cover.garage_104_1_107',
  ] %}
{{ cover | select('is_state_attr', 'current_position', 100) | list | count }}

EDIT: The second version isn’t exactly equivalent to the first. I assumed it was desired to have all positions at 100%.

What are you planning on doing with this?

Thank you Pieter.

This works great.

I have several covers. On a window the “normal” state is open, but a garage door the “normal” state is closed.
Now i can used this to see if there are covers in a not “normal” state.

{% set cover = [
  is_state_attr('cover.garage_104_1_107', 'current_position', 0),
  is_state_attr('cover.hal_25_1_28', 'current_position', 100),
  ] %}
{{ cover | select('==', False)| list | count }}

Great!

If you’re happy with my solution you can tag it as such to help others.

I have another idea that I’ll type up later when I can.

More solutions are always welcome :smiley:

I thought I could, but just to close the loop: I cannot really further improve on this.
