Issue with template: No default was specified. Currently 'int' will return 0

[ondrabanov (Ondrej)]

Hi all,
I would like to ask you what is wrong with my template. It is actually working but I am having warnings in LOGs:

Template warning: 'int' got invalid input 'unknown' when rendering template ':host { color: {% if states(config.entity) | int <= 300 %} green {% elif states(config.entity) | int <= 1000 %} greenyellow {% elif states(config.entity) | int <= 3000 %} yellow {% elif states(config.entity) | int <= 10000 %} orange {% elif states(config.entity) | int <= 25000 %} red {% endif %} ; }' but no default was specified. Currently 'int' will return '0', however this template will fail to render in Home Assistant core 2022.1

type: entities
entities:
  - entity: sensor.air_quality_sensor_voc
    card_mod:
      style: |
        :host {
          color:
            {% if states(config.entity) | int <= 300 %} 
              green
            {% elif states(config.entity) | int <= 1000 %}
              greenyellow
            {% elif states(config.entity) | int <= 3000 %}
              yellow
            {% elif states(config.entity) | int <= 10000 %}
              orange
            {% elif states(config.entity) | int <= 25000 %}
              red
            {% endif %}
            ;
        }

You havn’t supplied default values for your int filters.

no default was specified. Currently 'int' will return '0', however this template will fail to render in Home Assistant core 2022.1

See this post for help:

Updating Templates with the new default values in 2021.10.x

I keep seeing the same question about the new default argument for the templating. This post will cover all possible ways to define default. All the methods that were changed: acos as_timestamp asin atan atan2 cos float log round sin sqrt strptime tan timestamp_custom timestamp_local timestamp_utc Each of them have the exact same default functionality but a different number of arguments. There are multiple ways to use these functions, and this is where all the confusion lies. Understandi…

thanks for quick reply. The code is actually just copied from somewhere in this forum.
I have checked the help page but I do not understand it. Could you please help me with proper syntax?
Why I need default value? In my case default value would be green color?

Thank you

@ondrabanov

In my case default value would be green color

Then do this:

type: entities
entities:
  - entity: sensor.air_quality_sensor_voc
    card_mod:
      style: |
        :host {
          color:
            {% if states(config.entity) | int(0) <= 300 %} 
              green
            {% elif states(config.entity) | int(0) <= 1000 %}
              greenyellow
            {% elif states(config.entity) | int(0) <= 3000 %}
              yellow
            {% elif states(config.entity) | int(0) <= 10000 %}
              orange
            {% elif states(config.entity) | int(0) <= 25000 %}
              red
            {% endif %}
            ;
        }

Could you please help me with proper syntax?

Replace | int by | int(0)

@ondrabanov

Why I need default value?

Because the sensor’s state value can be non-numeric.
