Min/max sensor with more than one entires in my yaml

Juergen · October 31, 2017, 9:36pm

Can anybody help how I can get more than one min/max sensor. Created a minmax.yaml with:

platform: min_max
sensors:
  waerme:
# type: min, max or mean
  type: mean
  entity_ids:
    - sensor.fibaro_buero_temperature
    - sensor.fibaro_gang_temperature
    - sensor.fibaro_wohnzimmer_temperature
    - sensor.fibaro_kueche_temperature
    - sensor.fibaro_schlafzimmer_temperature
  - sensor.vision_multisensor_bad_temperature
  wohnzimmer_waerme:
# type: min, max or mean
  type: mean
  entity_ids:
    - sensor.fibaro_wohnzimmer_temperature
    - sensor.wohnzimmer_thermostat_temp_rechts
    - sensor.wohnzimmer_thermostat_temp_links
    - sensor.wohnzimmer_wand_temp
  buero_waerme:
# type: min, max or mean
  type: mean
  entity_ids:
     - sensor.fibaro_buero_temperature
     - sensor.buero_wand_temp
     - sensor.buero_thermostat_temp
  kueche_waerme:
# type: min, max or mean
  type: mean
  entity_ids:
    - sensor.fibaro_kueche_temperature
  bad_waerme:
# type: min, max or mean
  type: mean
  entity_ids:
    - sensor.vision_multisensor_bad_temperature
    - sensor.bad_wand_temp
    - sensor.bad_thermostat_temp
  schlafzimmer_waerme:
# type: min, max or mean
  type: mean
  entity_ids:
    - sensor.fibaro_schlafzimmer_temperature
    - sensor.schlafzimmer_wand_temp
    - sensor.schlafzimmer_thermostat_temp
  gang_waerme:
# type: min, max or mean
  type: mean
  entity_ids:
   - sensor.fibaro_gang_temperature

all I got @ startup:

How can I create more than one minmax sensor in my yaml file?

keithh666 · November 1, 2017, 12:29am

put the above for each sensor

Juergen · November 1, 2017, 10:43am

Solved !
what I did was entering

  - name: waerme
    platform: min_max


  - name: waerme
    platform: min_max
# type: min, max or mean
    type: mean
    entity_ids:
      - sensor.fibaro_buero_temperature
      - sensor.fibaro_gang_temperature
      - sensor.fibaro_wohnzimmer_temperature
      - sensor.fibaro_kueche_temperature
      - sensor.fibaro_schlafzimmer_temperature
      - sensor.vision_multisensor_bad_temperature
  - name: wohnzimmer_waerme
    platform: min_max
# type: min, max or mean
    type: mean
    entity_ids:
      - sensor

but … it throws a:

Nov 01 11:36:38 home-assistant hass[13847]: 2017-11-01 11:36:38 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config] Invalid config for [sensor]: expected a dictionary.

have to remove my whole minmax.yaml file to get the sensors working again. Any Idee how to fix?

Is not a valid entity_id.

Juergen · November 1, 2017, 12:50pm

Thanks Fabaff,
this was just a snipe of a longer yaml. the Sensor itself does not stand alone

Coolie1101 · November 1, 2017, 12:57pm

Try it like below:

  - platform: min_max
    entity_ids:
      - sensor.fibaro_buero_temperature
      - sensor.fibaro_gang_temperature
      - sensor.fibaro_wohnzimmer_temperature
      - sensor.fibaro_kueche_temperature
      - sensor.fibaro_schlafzimmer_temperature
      - sensor.vision_multisensor_bad_temperature
    name: waerme
    type: mean

Folks,
that is all great and working. What I am trying to archive is getting a 2nd min max sensor into the same yaml file and this is failing.
my min-max.yaml looks today:

platform: min_max
entity_ids:
      - sensor.fibaro_buero_temperature
      - sensor.fibaro_gang_temperature
      - sensor.fibaro_wohnzimmer_temperature_2
      - sensor.fibaro_kueche_temperature
      - sensor.fibaro_schlafzimmer_temperature
      - sensor.vision_multisensor_bad_temperature
name: durchschnittstemperatur
type: mean

How can I add another one into the same yaml file?

keithh666 · November 9, 2017, 2:23pm

If you have them in sensors.yaml file they should look like this…

- platform: min_max
  entity_ids:
    - sensor.miflora_bird_of_paradise_temperature
    - sensor.miflora_flowering_fern_temperature
    - sensor.miflora_volcano_fern_temperature
  name: avglroomtemp
  type: mean

- platform: min_max
  entity_ids:
    - sensor.miflora_bird_of_paradise_light_intensity
    - sensor.miflora_flowering_fern_light_intensity
    - sensor.miflora_volcano_fern_light_intensity
  name: avglroomlux
  type: mean

Your spacing looks a little off

Juergen · November 9, 2017, 3:29pm

I do have serveral yaml below the sensor directory

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root          root           4096 Oct 19 13:27 ._command_line.yaml

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root          root            537 Oct 19 13:18 yr.yaml

What I am looking for is how the min-max.yaml syntax will look like

keithh666 · November 9, 2017, 3:43pm

It looks exactly how I pasted it, it comes directly from my sensors.yaml file which is included via

sensor: !include sensors.yaml

No spaces at the front

Please use the </> in the edit box after selecting your code to format it for use here, then we can see what’s wrong with it.

Juergen · November 9, 2017, 6:57pm

I do have a

sensor: !include_dir_list sensor

configured into my configuration yaml.

now when I add the following lines into my min-max.yaml

- platform: min_max
  entity_ids:
         - sensor.fibaro_buero_temperature
         - sensor.fibaro_gang_temperature
  name: avglroomtemp
  type: mean

- platform: min_max
  entity_ids:
         - sensor.fibaro_buero_temperature
         - sensor.fibaro_gang_temperature
         - sensor.fibaro_wohnzimmer_temperature_2
         - sensor.fibaro_kueche_temperature
         - sensor.fibaro_schlafzimmer_temperature
         - sensor.vision_multisensor_bad_temperature
  name: avglroomlux
  type: mean

it says:

2017-11-09 19:55:29 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config] Invalid config for [sensor]: expected a dictionary. Got OrderedDict([('homeassistant', OrderedDict([('name', 'home'), ('latitude', yy.05753256876), ('longitude', xx.8373944785), ('elevation', xyz), ('unit_system', 'metric'), ('time_zone', 'Europe/Berlin')])), ('duckdns', OrderedDict([('domain', '<dom>'), ('access_token', 'token7')])), ('alexa', {}), ('emulated_hue', OrderedDict([('host_ip', '192.168.1.80'), ('listen_port', 8300), ('off_maps_to_on_domains', ['script']), ('expose_by_default', True), ('exposed_domains....

NotoriousBDG · November 9, 2017, 7:43pm

To use that format for your sensors, you should use include_dir_merge_list. Also, you’ve got way too many spaces before your entity_ids.

sensor: !include_dir_merge_list sensor

- platform: min_max
  entity_ids:
    - sensor.fibaro_buero_temperature
    - sensor.fibaro_gang_temperature
  name: avglroomtemp
  type: mean

- platform: min_max
  entity_ids:
    - sensor.fibaro_buero_temperature
    - sensor.fibaro_gang_temperature
    - sensor.fibaro_wohnzimmer_temperature_2
    - sensor.fibaro_kueche_temperature
    - sensor.fibaro_schlafzimmer_temperature
    - sensor.vision_multisensor_bad_temperature
  name: avglroomlux
  type: mean
