Input_number.set_value from template

Configuration

Hey Guys,

I feel really stupid but I can’t get this to work & need your help.

I want to use the title of google calendar event to set a value to an input_number.
This is the (working) template:

{{state_attr("calendar.heizung_test","message") | replace (' Grad','')|float(0)}}

As you can see it returns the number 66.

But when I try to use this in a service call to set the input_number I get:

image

This is how I call the service:

service: input_number.set_value
data_template:
  value: "{{ state_attr("calendar.heizung_test","message") | replace (' Grad','')|float(0)}}"
target:
  entity_id: input_number.test_thermostat

Any help would be highly appreciated.
Cheers
Chris

You’re using the same quotes on the outside of the template as on the inside. Notice how your highlighting is all goofy in your posted code?

 value: "{{ state_attr('calendar.heizung_test','message') | replace (' Grad','')|float(0) }}"

I have a very similar issue. What is my problem?

  - action: input_number.set_value
    data_template:
      value: >
       "{% set boton = expand('button.led_patio_10','button.led_patio_20','button.led_patio_40','button.led_patio_60','button.led_patio_80','button.led_patio_100') |
        sort(attribute= 'last_changed', reverse=true) | map(attribute ='entity_id') | first %} 
       {% if boton = 'button.led_patio_10' %} 10
       {% elif boton = 'button.led_patio_20' %} 20
       {% elif boton = 'button.led_patio_40' %} 40
       {% elif boton = 'button.led_patio_60' %} 60
       {% elif boton = 'button.led_patio_80' %} 80
       {% elif boton = 'button.led_patio_100' %} 100
       {% endif %}"
    target:
      entity_id: input_number.brillo_led_patio

You’re using multiline notation and providing exterior quotes. Use one or the other.

That was it (and the missing ==).

Thank you very much.

If you’re interested, you can simplify the template by taking advantage of the fact that the value you want to report is already part of the button’s entity_id. Just extract the value from the end of the entity_id.

  - action: input_number.set_value
    target:
      entity_id: input_number.brillo_led_patio
    data:
      value: >
        {% set boton = expand('button.led_patio_10','button.led_patio_20','button.led_patio_40','button.led_patio_60','button.led_patio_80','button.led_patio_100')
          | sort(attribute='last_changed', reverse=true)
          | map(attribute='entity_id') | first %}
        {{ boton.split('_')[2] }}

EDIT

Correction. Desired value’s list index is 2 not 1.

Thank you!
