Problems with messages with sum of states

Configuration
1

My actual code are:

alias: Sprachansage Fahrt Abfahrt im Geschäft (statisch)
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - person.manuel
    from: Brütsch/Rüegger
    to: not_home
condition: []
action:
  - service: script.alexa_sprachausgabe_eg_komlett
    data:
      message: >-
        Ich fahre jetzt im Geschäft los. Geschätzte Ankunftszeit  {{
        (now()|as_timestamp + (25*60))|timestamp_custom("%H:%M", True) }} Uhr
      type: announce
  - service: notify.telegram_familie
    data:
      title: Info!
      message: >-
        Ich fahre jetzt im Geschäft los. Geschätzte Ankunftszeit  {{
        (now()|as_timestamp + (25*60))|timestamp_custom("%H:%M", True) }} Uhr
mode: single

Now I would like to replace this part:

(25*60)

with

 +  float(states('sensor.fahrt_1'))  +
    float(states('sensor.fahrt_2'))  +
    float(states('sensor.fahrt_3'))  +
    float(states('sensor.fahrt_4'))

I have try so:

alias: Sprachansage Fahrt Abfahrt im Geschäft
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - person.manuel
    from: Brütsch/Rüegger
    to: not_home
condition: []
action:
  - service: script.alexa_sprachausgabe_og_komlett
    data:
      message: >-
        Ich fahre jetzt im Geschäft los. Aktuelle Ankunftszeit  {{
        (now()|as_timestamp + 
        float(states('sensor.fahrt_1'))  +
        float(states('sensor.fahrt_2'))  +
        float(states('sensor.fahrt_3'))  +
        float(states('sensor.fahrt_4')) )
        |timestamp_custom("%H:%M", True) }} Uhr
      type: announce
  - service: notify.telegram_manuel
    data:
      title: Info!
      message: >-
        Ich fahre jetzt im Geschäft los. Aktuelle Ankunftszeit  {{
        (now()|as_timestamp + 
        float(states('sensor.fahrt_1'))  +
        float(states('sensor.fahrt_2'))  +
        float(states('sensor.fahrt_3'))  +
        float(states('sensor.fahrt_4')) )
        |timestamp_custom("%H:%M", True) }} Uhr
mode: single

But with this code, I don´t get the two messages (Telegram and Alexa).

What make I wrong?

Your float() functions need a default… if you check your logs, you will likely see an error message.

alias: Sprachansage Fahrt Abfahrt im Geschäft
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - person.manuel
    from: Brütsch/Rüegger
    to: not_home
condition: []
action:
  - variables:
      message: >
        Ich fahre jetzt im Geschäft los. Aktuelle Ankunftszeit  {{
        (now() | as_timestamp + 
        float(states('sensor.fahrt_1'), 0)  +
        float(states('sensor.fahrt_2'), 0)  +
        float(states('sensor.fahrt_3'), 0)  +
        float(states('sensor.fahrt_4'), 0) )
        | timestamp_custom("%H:%M", True) }} Uhr
  - service: script.alexa_sprachausgabe_og_komlett
    data:
      message: '{{message}}'
      type: announce
  - service: notify.telegram_manuel
    data:
      title: Info!
      message: '{{message}}'

Thank you for your answer.

But the output time (text and text-to-spreach) is only the now() time and not with the addition of the four statuses

4

Have you tries to see what the states you add give in the template editor? What exactly is the state the four sensors return?

5

Yes I try to see what the four states give back in the template editor.

for example:

{{ float(states('sensor.fahrt_1'), 0) }}

give back 8.0

maybe the .0 is the problem?

6

ok I try an other code:

This give me back 23 at the moment

{{ float(states('sensor.fahrt_1'), 0) | round(0) 
+ float(states('sensor.fahrt_2'), 0) | round(0)
+ float(states('sensor.fahrt_3'), 0) | round(0)
+ float(states('sensor.fahrt_4'), 0) | round(0) }}

but if I add this piece of code to the rest:

Ich fahre jetzt im Geschäft los. Aktuelle Ankunftszeit  
{{ (now() |
    as_timestamp 
    + float(states('sensor.fahrt_1'), 0) | round(0) 
+ float(states('sensor.fahrt_2'), 0) | round(0)
+ float(states('sensor.fahrt_3'), 0) | round(0)
+ float(states('sensor.fahrt_4'), 0) | round(0) ) |
    timestamp_custom("%H:%M", True) 
}} 
Uhr

I only got back the actual time. But I need the actual time + f. e. 23 minutes

7

Shouldn’t you multiply the result by 60? I think you’re just adding 23 seconds now.

8

yes you are right.

With this code it works:

Ich fahre jetzt im Geschäft los. Aktuelle Ankunftszeit  
{{ (now() |
    as_timestamp 
    + (float(states('sensor.fahrt_1'), 0) | round(0) *60)
+ (float(states('sensor.fahrt_2'), 0) | round(0) *60)
+ (float(states('sensor.fahrt_3'), 0) | round(0) *60)
+ (float(states('sensor.fahrt_4'), 0) | round(0) *60) ) |
    timestamp_custom("%H:%M", True) 
}}
