MQTT state: extract integer from String

Configuration
1

Hi all,
i’m using a mod firmware for my mqtt cover and i receive this state
Received message on stat/sonoff02/RESULT: b'{"Cover1":8}'

How i can extract the number 8 ?
Also i don’t understand why the sensor is reported as unknown.

This is a json payload, so you need to use the template mechanism to process that. See

something like

value_template: '{{value_json.Cover1}}'

Should work

It don’t works very well
I see this message on logs
2018-04-18 16:23:30 DEBUG (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.mqtt] Received message on stat/sonoff02/RESULT: b’{“Cover1”:34}’
2018-04-18 16:23:39 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.cover.mqtt] UndefinedError: ‘value_json’ is undefined

set_position_template: '{{ value_json.Cover1 }}'

The set_position_template seems to be for an outgoing message, and I have no experience with these, so I can’t really help.

The two lines in the log extract are 9s apart, so are unlikely to be directly related - even on the slowest computer.

What exactly are you trying to do?
