I’ve just tried the following and this seems to work:
sensor hp_ilo:
platform: hp_ilo
host: hostname
username: username
password: password
monitored_variables:
- name: Storage Status
sensor_type: server_health
value_template: '{{ ilo_data.health_at_a_glance["storage"]["status"] }}'
This results in:
After updating to 0.57.2 I get an error in the log for the sensor.hp_ilo_server_health. The error is:

My sensors.yaml contains the following monitored_variables:
monitored_variables:
- name: Power state
sensor_type: server_power_status
- name: CPU fanspeed
sensor_type: server_health
unit_of_measurement: ‘%’
value_template: ‘{{ ilo_data.fans[“Fan 1”].speed[0] }}’
- name: Inlet temperature
sensor_type: server_health
unit_of_measurement: ‘°C’
value_template: ‘{{ ilo_data.temperature[“01-Inlet Ambient”].currentreading[0] }}’
- name: Server Health
sensor_type: server_health
Anything I need to add to the server_health to get rid of the error in my log? Thanks!
I don’t think I’ve seen this behaviour before on my own machine, but I’ll try to have a look this weekend to see if I can do anything about it.
Thanks for your work! I just tried adding my ILO sensors today, and I get the same error as wmn79 when trying to add the server_health sensor. Any news on this? How can I help debug?
My current guess is that Hass / the component doesn’t like it when it receives the entire server_health json response. That would mean you need to include a value_template in your configuration to limit what is being returned.
Could you try this and see if that helps? If it does, I will update the documentation accordingly.
guys, how can i change the value template, so my sensor changes the server_power_on_time into days instead of minutes?
This appears to be true. When using the sensor as outlined in the docs, the Server Health sensor fails and the resulting log spew returns homeassistant.exceptions.InvalidStateError: Invalid state encountered for entity id: sensor.hp_ilo_server_host_data. State max length is 255 characters.
So here’s a question: how do I get a hold of that JSON object so I know which fields are present so I can create the template sensors?
https://seveas.github.io/python-hpilo/health.html
This might help you out, you should be able to figure them out from there.
Here is two I setup as a guide,
- name: CPU 1 Memory Size
sensor_type: server_health
value_template: '{{ ilo_data.memory["memory_details_summary"]["cpu_1"]["total_memory_size"] }}'
- name: CPU 2 Memory Size
sensor_type: server_health
value_template: '{{ ilo_data.memory["memory_details_summary"]["cpu_2"]["total_memory_size"] }}'
I currently have it disabled at the moment in my sensor’s, can’t remember why though, might have been the log spamming, not sure.
so any1 got the uptime sensor working of a Hp Gen 8 microserver?
Where can that uptime info found in ILO? I have a HP Gen 8 microserver but when I look in the ILO I don’t seem to be able to find that uptime info.
Don’t think it’s possible on a microserver
If anyone want’s the easy way, this is my config for alot of sensors I feel needed.
here’s how you add a new one for “health_at_a_glance” for example
Find the value you want to import here: http://seveas.github.io/python-hpilo/health.html
'health_at_a_glance': {'bios_hardware': {'status': 'OK'},
'fans': {'status': 'OK'},
'memory': {'status': 'OK'},
'network': {'status': 'OK'},
'processor': {'status': 'OK'},
'storage': {'status': 'OK'},
'temperature': {'status': 'OK'}},
For this sensor I wanna get the status of the storage, the value template would look like this
value_template: "{{ ilo_data.health_at_a_glance['storage']['status'] }}"
As you can see the template follows the api, first ilo.data to call the ILO component in HA.
Then I wanna start with the topic health_at_a_glance. from that I want to look at the [‘storage’] topic and to show me the value [‘status’].

The code above is for my ge9 server, I’m trying to find what works with my gen6 at the moment…
Create a template sensor, I have done it for months, as it’s a count not of the time since last power-on, but the total minutes powered on since it was manufactured. e.g:
- platform: template
sensors:
server_power_on_time_months:
friendly_name: 'Server Power Converted Power On Time'
value_template: '{{states.sensor.server_server_power_on_time.state | float // 43800 }}'
unit_of_measurement: 'Months'
thnx for the info 
Can i ask what your state value is for this?
When i do it i get (13, ‘Celsius’) instead of just 13 which messes with my graphs.
Is this a common result or am i doing something wrong ?
Thanks
That is the correct result. If you want just 13 then you’ll need to specify the starting indice for that section. Here is an example from my code.
- name: Fuji Inlet temperature
sensor_type: server_health
unit_of_measurement: "°F"
value_template: >-
{% set t = ilo_data.temperature["01-Inlet Ambient"].currentreading[0] | float(default=0) %}
{{((t)*9/5)+32}}
I am converting the value to Fahrenheit so you can ignore the cast to float and the subsequent calculations. The part that your interested in is the [0] part.
