RESTful address values with empty path

Configuration
1

Hello together,

I have a restful-resource, with the following raw output:

{
  "StatusSNS": {
    "Time": "2026-04-15T11:39:57",
    "": {
      "Power_curr": -201.10,
      "Total_in": 15148.92,
      "Total_out": 316.55
    }
  }
}

I wan’t to address Power_curr, Total_in and Total_out with the value_template value_json, but I can’t address the “empty” path after StatusSNS.

I tried…

value_template: "{{value_json.StatusSNS..Power_curr|float}}"

…but that gives me an error message on reload.

Invalid config for 'rest' at configuration.yaml, line 178: invalid template (TemplateSyntaxError: expected name or number) for dictionary value 'rest->2->sensor->0->value_template', got '{{value_json.StatusSNS..Power_curr|float}}', please check the docs at https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/rest

Would be nice, if someone could help me :slight_smile:

thanks and best regards,
Markus

Maybe this works?

value_template: "{{ value_json['StatusSNS']['']['Power_curr'] | float}}"

Seems to work in template tools
