Modbus platform template

Configuration
2

Hello,

not very clear how is your configuration.
I suppose you have split configuration so you include in your configuration.yaml for modbus via modbus: !include modbus.yaml , correct?

Then don’t you have a split configuration for templates? you included in configuration.yaml?
you included templates in the modbus.yaml?

I suggest you split the configuration for templates too.

So your configuration,yaml will look like:

template: !include templates.yaml
modbus: !include modbus.yaml

then in same folder you will have two files:

modbus.yaml

- name: nilan
  type: tcp
  host: 192.168.188.107
  port: 502
  sensors:
    - name: nilan_operation_mode
      address: 5432
      slave: 1
      data_type: int16
      input_type: holding    
      unique_id: nilanoperationsmodus
    - name: Luftfeuchtigkeit
      unique_id: nilan_humidity
    # Current humidity
      address: 4716
      unit_of_measurement: "%"
      slave: 1

no validation error in my test.

templates.yaml

- sensor:
    - name: "yournameforsensor"
      unique_id: auniqueid
      state: >
        {% set nilan = states("sensor.nilan_operation_mode") | float(0) %}
        {% if nilan | int == 0 %}
          "Wert ist undefiniert"
        {% elif nilan | int == 1 %}
          "kühlen"
        {% elif nilan | int == 2 %}
          "heizen"
        {% elif nilan | int == 3 %}
          "entfeuchten"
        {% elif nilan | int == 4 %}
          "Wasser aufheizen"                
        {% else %}
          "Unbekannter Wert"
        {% endif %}
      availability: >
        {{ states('sensor.nilan_operation_mode') | is_number }}

this gives no validation error in my test
