How to extract some data and set as state

Configuration
1

Hello,
I need help to extract some data and detect as state change.
This sensor code is use to check status in my onkyo avr:

  - platform: command_line
    scan_interval: 3
    command_timeout: 2
    name: onkyo_audiostatus
    command: "/srv/homeassistant/bin/onkyo -q --host 192.168.11.70 IFAQSTN"

and status depend of what I play is

IFAHDMI 2,PCM,48 kHz,2.0 ch,Stereo,2.1 ch,

IFAHDMI 3,Multich PCM,48 kHz,5.1 ch,Multichannel,5.1 ch,

and I want make another sensor to detect data like “Multich PCM” “PCM” and set state with the same name or maybe I dont need another sensor but just custom code to read text I use this date do automation script.

Greetings and thank you!

This should peel all the information out into 6 different sensors.

 - platform: template
   sensors:
     onkyo_audiostatus_source:
       friendly_name: 'Onkyo Source'
       value_template: >
         {{ states('sensor.onkyo_audiostatus').split(',')[0] }}
     onkyo_audiostatus_info:
       friendly_name: '????'
       value_template: >
         {{ states('sensor.onkyo_audiostatus').split(',')[1] }}
     onkyo_audiostatus_frequency:
       friendly_name: 'Onkyo Frequency'
       value_template: >
         {{ states('sensor.onkyo_audiostatus').split(',')[2] }}
     onkyo_audiostatus_channel_1:
       friendly_name: 'Onkyo Channel 1'
       value_template: >
         {{ states('sensor.onkyo_audiostatus').split(',')[3] }}
     onkyo_audiostatus_audio_mode:
       friendly_name: 'Onkyo Audio Mode'
       value_template: >
         {{ states('sensor.onkyo_audiostatus').split(',')[4] }}
     onkyo_audiostatus_channel_2:
       friendly_name: 'Onkyo Channel 2'
       value_template: >
         {{ states('sensor.onkyo_audiostatus').split(',')[5] }}

Hi,

I have similar situation, I need to extract data from this state

{'acc': '1', 'direction': '0', 'gpsSpeed': '0', 'gpsTime': '2021-05-26 15:41:30', 'latitude': 45.52569, 'longitude': -73.63071}

- platform: rest
  name: Uplander LT
  json_attributes:
     - longitude
     - latitude
     - gpsSpeed
     - acc
  resource: https://example.com
  value_template: "{{ value_json.data.gps }}"
  scan_interval: 10
- platform: template
  sensors:
    uplander_lt_longitude:
         friendly_name: "Uplander LT Longitude"
         value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.uplander_lt', '.longitude') }}"
    uplander_lt_latitude:
         friendly_name: "Uplander LT Latitude"
         value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.uplander_lt', '_latitude') }}"
    uplander_lt_gpsspeed:
         friendly_name: "Uplander LT Speed"
         value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.uplander_lt', 'gpsSpeed') }}"
    uplander_lt_acc:
         friendly_name: "Uplander LT ACC"
         value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.uplander_lt', 'acc') }}"

remove the . and underscores on your tempalte sensors attributes inside the state_attr method. Also, you should try the new rest integration, you can do all of that in a single sensor.

Thanks,

I used the rest integration. It all works. Can I make it device tracker by pulling longitude and latitude.

rest:
     resource: https://example.com
     scan_interval: 10 
     sensor:
           - name: "Uplander LT GPS"
             json_attributes_path: "data.gps"
             value_template: "ok"
             json_attributes:
                   - "longitude"
                   - "latitude"
                   - "gpsSpeed"
                   - "acc"
