Hi,
I have a new status, but I am a little frustrated about the YAML use in HA.
It seems, that the problem is somewhere hidden in used or not used spaces/TABs etc.
- I have deleted the section with the temperature forecast and it works all fine. The weather entity is available and the Template Checker returns a valid value if I paste the following code part
{% set temperature = namespace(min=99) %}
{%- for item in state_attr('weather.xxxxxx_owm', 'forecast')[:11] -%}
{% if ((item.temperature | float) < temperature.min) %}
{% set temperature.min = (item.temperature | float) %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{{ temperature.min }}
- The next test I have done with the complete source block
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
min_temp_next_36h:
friendly_name: Min Temperatur in den nächsten 36h
value_template: >-
{% set temperature = namespace(min=99) %}
{%- for item in state_attr('weather.falenbek_owm', 'forecast')[:11] -%}
{% if ((item.temperature | float) < temperature.min) %}
{% set temperature.min = (item.temperature | float) %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{{ temperature.min }}
But this returns directly NON AVAILABLE Entities in the front end and following error message:
while scanning for the next token
found character ‘%’ that cannot start any token
in “/config/configuration.yaml”, line 49, column 10
This is exactly the ‘%’ after value_template…before the ‘set’.
-
The mentioned fault I assume , is linked to YAML space/TAB issues as described here Github YAML issue
I tried to check my configuration.yaml with Notepad++ functions to visualize all hidden characters etc. But the file contains only spaces…no TABS.
-
Next point I have done is copying the Template Sensor code from the Template HA documentation page - and it worked
-
afterwards I added only this part of the code
min_temp_next_36h:
friendly_name: Min Temperatur in den nächsten 36h
value_template: >-
{% set temperature = namespace(min=99) %}
{%- for item in state_attr('weather.falenbek_owm', 'forecast')[:11] -%}
{% if ((item.temperature | float) < temperature.min) %}
{% set temperature.min = (item.temperature | float) %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{{ temperature.min }}
But no success - all entities not available and the same fault as described before.
- Last point was trying to type the complete line 49 manually new - but same error
I am reaching a dead-end now.
The following part was not part of the Template checker code and neither of the successful try with the Template sensor example (solar_angle).
min_temp_next_36h:
friendly_name: Min Temperatur in den nächsten 36h
value_template: >-
Is here some last point I have not checked?
Please find the part of the config file attached.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards from the dead end

PS: Seems that YAML costs time - a lot
