QUESTION
How do I format the template to pull the values from the items section?
See the explanation if you can help me figure this out. Thanks!
I’m using a RESTful sensor to GET data from Todoist which appears as a single sensor called sensor.household
.
This is the sensor configuration:
- platform: rest
name: Household
method: GET
resource: "https://api.todoist.com/sync/v9/projects/get_data"
params:
token: !secret todoist_api_token
project_id: 2297623587
value_template: "{{ value_json['project']['id'] }}"
json_attributes:
- project
- items
scan_interval: 30
In the attribute column for this entity (sensor.household), there is first a JSON object followed by a List. It looks exactly like this:
project:
child_order: 3
collapsed: false
color: blue
id: '2297623587'
is_archived: false
is_deleted: false
is_favorite: false
name: Household
parent_id: null
shared: true
sync_id: '9907214'
view_style: board
items:
- added_at: '2022-08-31T21:07:45.518643Z'
added_by_uid: '8740868'
assigned_by_uid: '8740868'
checked: false
child_order: 1
collapsed: false
completed_at: null
content: This is a Test Task
description: This is a test description.
due:
date: '2022-09-01'
is_recurring: false
lang: en
string: Sep 1
timezone: null
id: '6133868890'
is_deleted: false
labels: []
note_count: 1
parent_id: null
priority: 1
project_id: '2297623587'
responsible_uid: '8740868'
section_id: '99230498'
sync_id: '6134017289'
user_id: '8740868'
friendly_name: Household
When running a template in the Dev tools, I can do the following:
{% set value_json = state_attr('sensor.household','project') %}
{{ value_json.name }}
The results = “Household”
If I change the template to this:
{% set value_json = state_attr('sensor.household','items') %}
{{ value_json.description }}
Despite there being a “description” of the item, I get no result. I suspect it is because the data under “items” is a list, and the data under projects is not.
