been fighting with this all day, and I can not prevent the notification to file to Not insert a new line in the output. And that makes the sensor showing the last line (what it is designed to do) somewhat useless…
where this is the whole notification filed:
25 Jan: 15:05:07 - mobile_app_calltheboss: 2 batteries are below 15 %: Master bedroom dimmer switch Battery: (2%),
Telefoon Battery Level: (6%),
it only shows me:
in my entities card:
entities:
- type: custom:hui-element
card_type: markdown
content: >
{{states('sensor.filed_notifications')}}
- sensor.filed_notifications
Ive tried to trim the message:
service: notify.filed_notifications
data:
message: >
{% set message = trigger.event.data.service_data.message|trim %}
{% set service = trigger.event.data.service|trim %}
{{now().timestamp()|timestamp_custom('%d %b: %X')}} - {{service}}: {{message}}
but that doesnt help.
# https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/file/#notifications
- name: filed_notifications
platform: file
filename: /config/logging/filed_notifications.txt
and the sensor:
sensor:
- platform: file
file_path: /config/logging/filed_notifications.txt
name: Filed notifications
value_template: >
{% if value is not none %}
{% if value|length < 255 %} {{value}}
{% else %} Truncated: {{value|truncate(240,True, '')}}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
what could I be improving to not have the message get a new line?
or is it core/notify.py at 1093a2b80892afc4039a72f686b2399a021bb8c4 · home-assistant/core · GitHub causing my issue

Replace message: > by message: >- and all (or some) {% and %} by {%- and -%}.
See https://yaml-multiline.info/
thanks, and yes, I have been testing that extensively in dev template but there’s no new line added in the first place
BUT: I found the culprit:
{%- set alert_level = states('input_number.battery_alert_level')|int(default=0) %}
{%- set count = expand('group.battery_sensors')
|rejectattr('state','in',['unknown','unavailable'])
|map(attribute='state')
|map('int',default=0)
|select('<',alert_level)
|list|count %}
{% set phrase = 'battery is' if count == 1 else 'batteries are' %}
{%- if count > 0 %}
{%- for s in expand('group.battery_sensors')
if s.state not in ['unknown','unavailable','None'] and
s.state|int(default=0) < alert_level %}
{%- if loop.first %}{{loop.length}} {{phrase}} below {{alert_level}} %: {% endif %}
{{s.name + ': ('+ s.state + '%),\n'}}
{%- endfor %}
{%- else %} All batteries above {{alert_level}} %
{%- endif %}
fear it’s another huge USER error… now I need to fix that into a nice message without a \n and have it create a correct list (and also kill the closing , )
need something like this:
{%- set alert_level = states('input_number.battery_alert_level')|int(default=0) %}
{%- set count = expand('group.battery_sensors')
|rejectattr('state','in',['unknown','unavailable'])
|map(attribute='state')
|map('int',default=0)
|select('<',alert_level)
|list|count %}
{% set phrase = 'battery is' if count == 1 else 'batteries are' %}
{%- if count > 0 %}
{{count}} {{phrase}} below {{alert_level}} %:
{%- set ns = namespace(batteries=[]) %}
{%- for s in expand('group.battery_sensors')
if s.state not in ['unknown','unavailable','None'] and
s.state|int < alert_level %}
{%- set ns.batteries = ns.batteries + [s.name+ ': (' + s.state + '%)'] %}
{{ns.batteries|join(',')}}
{%- endfor %}
{%- else %} All batteries above {{alert_level}} %
{%- endif %}
but now its returning the first sensor twice…
oops. put the {{ns.batteries|join(',')}} inside the for loop… duh
{%- set alert_level = states('input_number.battery_alert_level')|int(default=0) %}
{%- set count = expand('group.battery_sensors')
|rejectattr('state','in',['unknown','unavailable'])
|map(attribute='state')
|map('int',default=0)
|select('<',alert_level)
|list|count %}
{% set phrase = 'battery is' if count == 1 else 'batteries are' %}
{%- if count > 0 %}
{{count}} {{phrase}} below {{alert_level}} %:
{%- set ns = namespace(batteries=[]) %}
{%- for s in expand('group.battery_sensors')
if s.state not in ['unknown','unavailable','None'] and
s.state|int < alert_level %}
{%- set ns.batteries = ns.batteries + [' ' + s.name+ ': (' + s.state + '%)'] %}
{%- endfor %}
{{- ns.batteries|join(',')}}
{%- else %} All batteries above {{alert_level}} %
{%- endif %}
