Saving namespace into sensor.variable ends with error extra keys not allowed @ data['value']

1

I have problem to save namespace to normal

sensor.power_consumption_history

. It writes error

extra keys not allowed @ data[‘value’]

Source code of automation that should save new value/new namespace is this:

service: input_select.set_options
data_template:
  entity_id: sensor.power_consumption_history
  value: >-
    {% set historie_spotreby = namespace(id = [1,2,3], datum = [1,2,3], nakup = [1,2,3], prodej
    = [1,2,3]) %} 
    {{ historie_spotreby }}

Did you anybody know where the problem is?

input_select.set_options is only for input_select entities, not sensors; and it needs a list for value, not a dictionary.

3

Ok, in YAML this array is dictionary.

So how is posible to store/save dictionary to sensors value?

4

What is the source integration of the sensor? You can only modify the states and attributes of user-defined sensors entities from a limited number of integrations such as Template and MQTT.

It is my own declaration/definition of sensor value. I could define whole variable or variable with attributes. But I absolutely did not find way how to store dictionary to that… I mean at action of an automation. I did not see there any way who to change the values.

6

But what underlying integration or platform are you using to create the entity?

The method or service you would use depend entirely on the integration/platform being used.

Yeah I found that too… But nowhere I find out how to read options values :sweat_smile:
