Problem with : repeat for each

Configuration
1

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to use a repear for each in a repeat for each.
See below:

actions:
  - repeat:
      for_each:
        - min
        - max
      sequence:
        - repeat:
            for_each: |
              {% set Lijst = states 
                               |selectattr('domain', '==', 'input_number') 
                               |selectattr('entity_id', 'search', 'vandaag') 
                               |selectattr('entity_id', 'search', repeat.item) 
                               |map(attribute='entity_id')  
                               |list
                               %}
              {{Lijst}}
            sequence:
              - data:
                  value: >
                    {% if states('sensor.' +
                    repeat.item.split('.')[1].split('_')[-5:-3]|join('_')+
                    '_nu_temp')|float <
                             states('input_number.' + repeat.item.split('.')[1].split('_')[-5:-3]|join('_') + '_vandaag_' + repeat.item + '_temp')|float %}
                           {{states('sensor.' + repeat.item.split('.')[1].split('_')[-5:-3]|join('_')+ '_nu_temp')|float}}
                       {% else %}
                           {{states('input_number.' + repeat.item.split('.')[1].split('_')[-5:-3]|join('_') + '_vandaag_' + repeat.item + '_temp')|float}}
                       {% endif %}             
                target:
                  entity_id: >
                    input_number.{{repeat.item.split('.')[1].split('_')[-5:-3]|join('_')}}_vandaag_{{repeat.item}}_temp
                action: input_number.set_value

But this does not work.

If this is possible, how do I do this.

Eliminate the outer repeat then change this line:

|selectattr('entity_id', 'search', repeat.item)

To this:

|selectattr('entity_id', 'search', (min|max))

Thanks for your response.
Did you mean like this:

        - repeat:
            for_each: |
              {% set Lijst = states 
                               |selectattr('domain', '==', 'input_number') 
                               |selectattr('entity_id', 'search', 'vandaag') 
                               |selectattr('entity_id', 'search', (min|max)) 
                               |map(attribute='entity_id')  
                               |list
                               %}
              {{Lijst}}
            sequence:
              - data:
                  value: >
                    {% if states('sensor.' +
                    repeat.item.split('.')[1].split('_')[-5:-3]|join('_')+
                    '_nu_temp')|float <
                             states('input_number.' + repeat.item.split('.')[1].split('_')[-5:-3]|join('_') + '_vandaag_' + repeat.item + '_temp')|float %}
                           {{states('sensor.' + repeat.item.split('.')[1].split('_')[-5:-3]|join('_')+ '_nu_temp')|float}}
                       {% else %}
                           {{states('input_number.' + repeat.item.split('.')[1].split('_')[-5:-3]|join('_') + '_vandaag_' + repeat.item + '_temp')|float}}
                       {% endif %}             
                target:
                  entity_id: >
                    input_number.{{repeat.item.split('.')[1].split('_')[-5:-3]|join('_')}}_vandaag_{{repeat.item}}_temp
                action: input_number.set_value

Yes.

The single repeat will iterate through all input_number entities whose entity_id contains “vandaag” and “min” or “max”.

Thanks for your response.
But this is not the intention,
The intention is:

actions:
- repeat'(1)':
for_each:
- min
- max
sequence:
- repeat'(2)':
for_each: |
{% set List = states
|selectattr('domain', '==', 'input_number')
|selectattr('entity_id', 'search', 'today')
|selectattr('entity_id', 'search', repeat.item'(2)'
|map(attribute='entity_id')
|list
%}
{{List}}
sequence:
- dates:
value: >
{% if states('sensor.' +
repeat'(2)'.item.split('.')[1].split('_')[-5:-3]|join('_')+
'_now_temp')|float <
states('input_number.' + repeat'(2)'.item.split('.')[1].split('_')[-5:-3]|join('_') + '_today_' + repeat.item'(1)' + '_temp')|float %}
{{states('sensor.' + repeat'(2)'.item.split('.')[1].split('_')[-5:-3]|join('_')+ '_now_temp')|float}}
{%else%}
{{states('input_number.' + repeat'(2)'.item.split('.')[1].split('_')[-5:-3]|join('_') + '_today_' + repeat'(1)'.item + '_temp')|float}}
{%endif%}
target:
entity_id: >
input_number.{{repeat.item'(2').split('.')[2].split('_')[-5:-3]|join('_')}}_today_{{repeat.item'(1)'}}_temp
action: input_number.set_value


repeat'(1)' is 1st repeat
repeat'(2)' is 2nd repeat

Your “intention” is code that doesn’t work.

It attempts to set values using two passes, the first pass for min entities and the second pass for max entities. It fails because repeat.item in the inner repeat cannot reference the outer repeat.

What I suggested sets the values, referencing both min and max entities, in one pass.

If that’s unacceptable, you’ll need to explain why it’s important to process all min entities first before processing the max entities.

NOTE

Your updated example indicates you want to reference the repeat.item from both the inner and outer repeat within the same template. To my knowledge, that’s not possible because it cannot distinguish between the inner and outer repeat.item.

You will need to redesign your template to work in a single repeat.

Thanks for your response.
So if I understand correctly I have to create 2 actions for this, in 1 this does not work
