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

Configuration

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:

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

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 %}
            ;
        }

Replace | int by | int(0)

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