In the template documentation, it’s stated that the this
self-referencing variable is available in trigger and stated-based entities. I’ve tried it with a template select. It is available if the trigger section remains undefined. With a trigger defined, though trigger
is available, this
isn’t. Is this
unavailable with a trigger defined or does it use a different variable name?
Here’s an example of a Trigger-based Template Sensor whose template references both trigger
and this
(i.e. both variables are available).

Odd. Perhaps, it depends on the specific trigger. I’ll have to investigate more.
Post what isn’t working for you.
