On line 57 it’s

template:

  • sensor:

So something with that one, what am i doing wrong? Help out a beginner :slight_smile:

you only need - sensor: once, and each - name: needs to be aligned.
Try this:

template:
  - sensor:
      - name: "stromverbrauch"
        unit_of_measurement: kWh
        state_class: total_increasing
        device_class: energy
        state: "{{ states('input_number.stromablesen') }}"
   
      - name: sophamtning_days
        [...]

My bad, now i got this.

template:
 - sensor:
   name: "stromverbrauch"
   unit_of_measurement: kWh
   state_class: total_increasing
   device_class: energy
   state: "{{ states('input_number.stromablesen') }}"
   

 - name: sophamtning_days

   state: >-

     {{ min(((state_attr('calendar.sophamtning', 'start_time') | as_timestamp - today_at('00:00') | as_timestamp) / 86400) | int,2) }}

   attributes:

    days: >-

     {{ ((state_attr('calendar.sophamtning', 'start_time') | as_timestamp - today_at('00:00') | as_timestamp) / 86400) | int }}

You have the name section indented wrong and you are missing the dash.

…you have:

template:
 - sensor:
   name: "stromverbrauch"

and you should have:

template:
  - sensor:
      - name: "stromverbrauch"

…copy/paste what I wrote and then line* everything up to it.
