Problems with the Alexa integration of sensor templates

Configuration Voice Assistant
1

Hello,
I have just set up an Alexa connection via an Alexa skill which also works. If normal sensors are published, Alexa can also find them. However, I am currently having problems with sensors that were created using a template. Alexa can not find it and I don’t get any errors. I am currently using the following template for the sensor:

{% set vZisterneFuell = states(‘sensor.sensorengarten_sr04_distance’) | float %}
{% set maxWaterhigh = 74 %}
{% set ab = 0.71 %}
{% set vminvol = 80 %}
{% set ZisterneVolMax = ((2.1 * 1.250 * (maxWaterhigh /100)) * 1000) - ((ab * ab * (maxWaterhigh /100)) * 1000) %}
{% set CisternVol02 = (ab * ab * ((maxWaterhigh + 25 - (vCisternFull))/100)) * 1000 %}
{% set ZisterneVol01 = (2.1 * 1.250 * ((maxWaterhigh + 25 - (vZisterneFuell))/100)) * 1000 %}
{% set CisternVol03 = CisternVol01 - CisternVol02 %}
{% set ZisterneProz = (ZisterneVol03 / ZisterneVolMax) * 100%}
{{CisternProz |round(0)}}

I hope someone can help me

Alexa can only understand sensors that alexa is programmed to understand. That is a very small list of sensors. Like Temperature and Humidity.

Hi @petro , thank you for your answer.
Is there an overview of the supported sensors?

@petro thank you for your support.
I was able to solve my problem by creating a scene and having the value output via Alexa.

Here is a description, unfortunately in German.:
