In config I want a received int number to match a text, like 2=Low battery and present text, not number

Modesty · April 30, 2024, 5:44am

Hi again,

This is a system that reports back to HA.
Idea about alarm is among give alarm states but also “I’m alive”
I’m alive is not so important due to paketNo and also parameters changes.

Due to writing data both on HA dashboard and on OLED screen on the receiver the text is pre defined (placing), and empty alarm will in make User questions, no alarm?:

But as you have learned, I’m not into HA per today, HA is my final stage after developing this system for 2 years, so HA ladder is starting now.

What you mean by?

I was already afraid this would happen

Anyway, if there is a work around, I appreciate any help.

You were having 2 sensors with the same name, which were therefore creating entities with the same entity_id.

Without an unique id they will keep adding suffixes to the entity_id because the other one is still in use.

But you didn’t really answer my question, do you need to have a sensor that has the 9 as its state?

Modesty · April 30, 2024, 7:12am

Hi

I dont ned a 9, i need 1 to 4 as a minimum

TheFes · April 30, 2024, 7:17am

You are misunderstanding my question.

Would it be okay if the mqtt doesn’t return 9, but the converted state directly? You won’t have access to the number in HA anymore, but the sensor will show Kube 1 ingen alarm

Modesty · April 30, 2024, 7:30am

Hi

I don’t need to see the numbers, that is todays solution.

For me the important part is that I get a text alarm if number 1-4 is received to HA

Can you try this? I removed the config for the template sensor and applied the template directly in the mqtt sensor

you removed the wrong ), I meant the one directly after string

So:

{{ alarm.get(value | string, 'Ukjent alarm') }}

However, the template doesn’t seem to work, I’m not that familiar with mqtt config, but as far as I know value should refer to the value from the state topic.

@petro any chance you can shed some light on this?
