PVOutput issues

Configuration
1

Hello everybody,

After some trial and error I managed to get some sensors on the Lovelace UI.
Unfortunately I have some trouble with them. I spent some hours looking for the anser here in de community and other places on the Internet.
This is happening:

My overal sensor is displaying the right values (just like the ones I receive from PVOutput when I do an API call.
Schermafdruk%20van%202019-12-02%2011-41-04

But my individual sensors are displaying no data:
Schermafdruk%20van%202019-12-02%2011-41-33

This is my setup in configuration.yaml

sensor:
  - platform: pvoutput
    name: Zonnepanelen
    system_id: 28710
    api_key: *my API key*
    scan_interval: 300
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      power_consumption:
        value_template: >
          {% if is_state_attr("sensor.pvoutput", "power_consumption", "NaN") %}0{% else %}{{ state_attr('sensor.pvoutput', 'power_consumption') }}{% endif %}
        friendly_name: 'Using'
        unit_of_measurement: 'Watt'
      energy_consumption:
        value_template: >
          {{ "%0.1f"|format(state_attr('sensor.pvoutput', 'energy_consumption')|float/1000) }}
        friendly_name: 'Used'
        unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
      power_generation:
        value_template: >
          {% if is_state_attr("sensor.pvoutput", "power_generation", "NaN") %}0{% else %}{{ state_attr('sensor.pvoutput', 'power_generation') }}{% endif %}
        friendly_name: 'Generating'
        unit_of_measurement: 'Watt'
      energy_generation:
        value_template: >
          {% if is_state_attr("sensor.pvoutput", "energy_generation", "NaN") %}0{% else %}{{ "%0.2f"|format(state_attr('sensor.pvoutput', 'energy_generation')|float/1000) }}{% endif %}
        friendly_name: 'Generated'
        unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'

Could someone give me a little help please?

Are you sure that your “main” sensor is called sensor.pvoutput and not sensor.zonnepanelen?

3

look at the states page as well. Verify that your attributes are correct.

You are absolutely right. This is because I am not so good in programming but awesome in copying :crazy_face:
Problem solved, thank you very much.
