it’s done !
configuraton.yaml
template:
- sensor:
-name:sensor.compteur_eau:
unit_of_measurement: "m³"
state_class: total_increasing
device_class: water
state: "{{states('compteur_eau') | multiply(0.001) }}"
There is an error message on the last line : Incorrect type. Expected “array”
you’ve got an indentation issue, look at the example
I’m sorry !
template:
- sensor:
- name: sensor.compteur_eau
unit_of_measurement: m³
device_class: water
state_class: total_increasing
state: "{{states('compteur_eau') | multiply(0.001) }}"
the device class “water” is not accepted and I have this same error message
Please put eau instead of sensor.compteur_eau as in the provided example.
template:
- sensor:
- name: eau
unit_of_measurement: m³
device_class: water
state_class: total_increasing
state: "{{states('compteur_eau') | multiply(0.001) }}"
the device class “water” is not accepted and I have this same error message : Value is not accepted …
the example has not been replicated exactly the same way. counter_eau is not appropriate. It must be something like counter.xxxxxx
Go to states tab, search for the counter that receives the water counts and click on the icon on the left to copy the id.
You may wish to send us a screenshot of it
This is where it not right.
You’ve got to have a counter not a sensor. You may create it with Helpers, and then from that a new template sensor is defined.
For gas, I did not create a counter with the helpers but a Utility meter with sensor.compteur_gaz as sensor input?
In the code, it is necessary at some point to refer to the sensor knx which contains the value?
yes indeed, which is, based on your screenshot:
{{states("sensor.compteur_eau")}}
I was wondering because you said : " It must be something like counter.xxxxxx"
I just installed a new instance of HA on a second virtual machine to avoid disrupting my production version.
I was able to display the electricity consumption without any problem but this is not the case for gas (the gas device-class exists).
knx.yaml
#Compteur gaz
- name: compteur_gaz2
state_address: "9/7/1"
type: "volume"
configuration.yaml
homeassistant:
packages: !include_dir_named knx
template:
- sensor:
- template:
- sensor:
- name: gaz
unit_of_measurement: "m³"
state_class: total_increasing
device_class: gas
state: "{{states('compteur_gaz2') | multiply(0.001) }}"
How to simplify the last line because the value is already in m3?
watch out. This is not correct:
state: "{{states('compteur_gaz2') | multiply(0.001) }}
The entity shall something like:
state: "{{states('sensor.compteur_gaz2') | multiply(0.001) }}
Look at dev/states to get the exact entity id
state: "{{ states('sensor.compteur_gaz2') | multiply(0.001) }}"
You are missing the sensor platform prefix sensor. and the cast to float since states are strings. (Have not tested the above suggestion).
template:
- sensor:
- name: gaz2
unit_of_measurement: "m³"
state_class: total_increasing
device_class: gas
state: "{{states('sensor.compteur_gaz2') | multiply(0.001) }}"
Here is for electricity that works
look at your screenshot. The entity_id of this gas entity from knx is sensor.compteur_gaz without appended “2”.
knx.yaml
in the knx yaml it’s counter_gaz2
#Compteur gaz
- name: compteur_gaz2
state_address: "9/7/1"
type: "volume"
And we find counter_gas2 here
It seems that you do not understand from the very beginning that you have to refer to the entity id
This name key doesn’t mean anything anymore once the entity is created. So if you changed it at some point that wouldn’t be reflected in HA. It is not the entity_id.
friendly_name is also independent of entity_id and only used in frontend.
If I take it step by step
I put # in front of the gas lines of the knx-yaml and also for the whole gas template of the configuration.yaml
I restarted HA
I modified with gaz3
knx.yaml
#Compteur gaz
- name: compteur_gaz3
state_address: "9/7/1"
type: "volume"
configuration.yaml
template:
- sensor:
- name: gaz2
unit_of_measurement: "m³"
state_class: total_increasing
device_class: gas
state: "{{states('sensor.compteur_gaz3') | multiply(0.001) }}"
Entity ID is sensor.compteur_gaz3 . So far is everything ok?
