This is my sensors.yaml
- platform: command_line
name: kocomtemp
json_attributes:
- l_cur_temp
- l_set_temp
command: "/config/python_script/kocom.py sensor temp"
value_template: '{{ value_json.kocom_heat}}'
- platform: template
sensors:
kocom_livingroom_current_temp:
friendly_name: 'Current Temp'
value_template: "{{ states.sensor.kocomtemp.attributes.l_cur_temp }}"
unit_of_measurement: "C"
- platform: template
sensors:
kocom_livingroom_set_temp:
friendly_name: 'Desired Temp'
value_template: "{{ states.sensor.kocomtemp.attributes.l_set_temp }}"
unit_of_measurement: "C"
/config/python_script/kocom.py sensor temp returns like this
{ākocom_heatā: 0, āl_cur_tempā: 24, āl_set_tempā: 23}
However, I cannot parse this using written template.
[homeassistant.components.command_line.sensor] Unable to parse output as JSON
Whatās wrong?
Can anybody help?

Copy the format you used in your command for the sensors:
- platform: template
sensors:
kocom_livingroom_current_temp:
friendly_name: 'Current Temp'
value_template: "{{ value_json.l_cur_temp }}"
unit_of_measurement: "C"
- platform: template
sensors:
kocom_livingroom_set_temp:
friendly_name: 'Desired Temp'
value_template: "{{ value_json.l_set_temp }}"
unit_of_measurement: "C"
Thank you tom.
But I got same error message

Please ignore my last post. I didnāt understand what you were doing.
The problem you have is that once you grab the data in the command line sensor it becomes a string, not json data.
See here for more:
I donāt know if you saw this thread Trying to understand JSON parsing . The upshot is that state stores everything as a string so no matter how well-formed the JSON may be it will handled as a string. Perhaps parameters get the same treatment and are passed as strings only.
I found this post by Petro indicating an attribute can be used to store a JSON object. This information was given to an individual who was making a custom component therefore could create attributes. Otherwise, I donāt believā¦
Thaks a lot!
Itās quite simple bug.
some other std out was occured in other parts of script!
Itās working now

Hey, just thought Iād throw in here that Iāve just implemented some template filters to_json
and from_json
. If you have JSON-formatted string and want to interpret it as JSON, you can use it in a template like this:
{%- set jsonObject = jsonFormattedString | from_json -%}
{{ jsonObject.MyJsonAttribute }}
These filters will be in v0.101, so they arenāt in the version you have right now, but they should be available soon.
