Issue with setting up templates, etc

Configuration

Hi guys i’m getting the fellow errors but for the life of me cant fix ti. i coppied it from Github repos. the main issues are happening from Server1_CPU1_Temperature

Error:

Incorrect indentation.

All lines below sensor: should be indented to the right by two more spaces. EDIT Not simply indentation; it’s the wrong Template Sensor format.

You’re using a mix of “legacy” and “modern” syntax for defining the Template Sensors. state and state_class are “modern” format and aren’t supported in “legacy” format which is what you started to define when you chose to use platform: template .

Although state has a legacy equivalent called value_template, you can’t define state_class directly in a legacy-format Template Sensor.

You should convert it to modern format (because you want state_class) but that means pulling out all the Template Sensors out of the sensors.yaml file because now they must all be defined under the template: key (see example in the documentation). Let me know if you need more help to do that.

In addition, don’t waste your time using uppercase letters when defining an entity_id. Home Assistant only uses lowercase.

Your indentation here is wrong - “Server1_Power” and all the lines below should be indented under sensors:. Having said that, you’re using the old format for mqtt and template sensors, and will have to change eventually. The new format has these in their own files with a slightly different format.

Only for MQTT. Template Sensors can be defined using the “modern” or “legacy” format (which was never deprecated).

They are also using slugs with capital letters:

Thanks everyone for the help after some mucking and suggestions i’ve got it to work. thanks again
