You should check your config in Developer Tools / Template. Just paste the data from the percentage template there and see what error do you get. Also, there should be something in the log about the error. Without that, here is how I would write the config for your first automation. I guess the problem has something to do with ‘&&’ or ‘/n’, but I still haven’t implemented this component to compare.
I thought I was good to go so I added this to the other zones and the result was opposite of Zone 1. I reverse the minimum ad maximum values and it appears to work. No idea of why this happeened.
Those “\n” at the end of the imaginary lines. I think those are used in C++, not in Jinja. Do you put them there on purpose, or some text editor inserts them there? So if you put only the template in the editor, eg:
This has just been added to HACS and finally worked through some deployment issues. Should be good to go now. Forget 2022.4.0, it doesn’t work, maybe even uninstall it. You should see 2022.4.1. The card will appear in the picker when adding. Nothing to configure, just make sure you are using the latest version of Irrigation Unlimited.
It’s early days with this card. Any pull requests are welcome.
Does anyone know why I’m getting this Warning. I think it might have popup after the this months update.
I’ve all so updated the Average Sensor in HACS just yesterday.

Yes, during HA startup the sensors come online at various stages. Your script is reading them before they are ready, this is common. The message is produced from the float statement below:
It was unable to convert NaN which is what you get when attempting to read something that is not there. Provide a default to the float expression to make this message go away.
No, HACS seem to be limited to the core files in config\custom_components\irrigation_unlimited\*. Installing and updating packages to my knowledge is outside of what it can do. I will look to add comments in the release notes.
Hi rgc99
Does the automation in the irrigation_unlimited_adjustment.yaml adjust the irr_unli.time_adjust service in real time or does it wait until the day of watering.
I recently updated (Copied from your repo) the irrigation_unlimited_adjustment.yaml file, My sensor.irrigation_unlimited_rain_weighted_total is changing which is good.
I can adjust the time with the service time adjust.
But has stayed on 100% for the last two cycles since updating.
I might change back to the old copy and see how that goes.
Thanks

Ok I replace the file with the old on and and its adjusted the time_adjust to 0% which looks to be good with the amount of rain ive had this week.
Maybe I’m missing one of the entities not sure.
anyway i can live with the old copy if i have to.
Thanks
This was changed about 6 months ago. Below is the relevant section that is most likely to cause a problem. Check the three sensors that it is reading (Developer Tools → States). If they cannot be read then the outcome will 100% which is what you are getting. The old code did not have defaults on the float statements and is likely to stop working in the future according to the HA developers.
{# Sensor data #}
# *********** Check the values of these three sensors ********************
{% set rain_total = states('sensor.irrigation_unlimited_rain_weighted_total') | float(-1) %}
{% set rain_rate = states('sensor.wupws_preciprate') | float(-1) %}
{% set temperature_average = states('sensor.irrigation_unlimited_temperature_5_day_moving_average') | float(-273) %}
# ******************************************************************************

Thank you
I found out what I had done wrong. I’ve never actually had the precipRate entity in my config.
So all this time the old automation was calculating on just the rain_total and the temperature_average and was still adjusting the time.
Another noob mistake of mine.
Thanks again for your help
It was probably implicitly setting a value of 0. This is why you must have explicit defaults now as it was a big source of bugs. There is a new version of this automation available which has some enhancements. The first is an id: so you can use all the new automation trace tools on it. A selection of triggers to choose from. Checks the sensors have been setup correctly and some comments about what you want to adjust. You will need to change the action part to suit you needs and it no longer assumes any configuration, which in itself was causing problems.
My Irrigation Unlimited was working great until I updated to Home Assistant 2022.6. The schedules didn’t show up on the UI and no irrigation was preformed. When I restored the backup to Home Assistant 2022.5 Irrigation Unlimited was working fine. Is anyone else having this problem?
