Hi folks,
i have a short questions regarding the scrape sensor. I wanted to scrape a price but in the value i have a € at the front so i dont cant get the history to work, tried to cut it of with value_template parameter from the scrap sensor , but then the result is unknown, the code worked in the template editor but the sensor gave me then unknown.
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.dying_light_pc_test_cdkeys_com').split('€')[1] }}"
or
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.dying_light_pc_cd_keys_com').replace('€', '') }}" .
has the price with the € in the number.
- platform: scrape
resource: "https://www.cdkeys.com/pc/dying-light-2-steam-pc"
unit_of_measurement: "€"
name: Dying Light - PC - Test (CDKEYS.com)
select: 'span#product-price-3430'
scan_interval: 600
give me unknown value:
- platform: scrape
resource: "https://www.cdkeys.com/pc/dying-light-2-steam-pc"
unit_of_measurement: "€"
name: Dying Light - PC (CDKEYS.com)
select: 'span#product-price-3430'
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.dying_light_pc_cd_keys_com').replace('€', '') }}"
scan_interval: 600`
Somebody can give a advice ?
thx in advance.

Have you tried this? it will remove the first character in the string
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.dying_light_pc_test_cdkeys_com')[1:] }}"

Tested it, but didnt worked, unknown value, in the Template Editor it worked but not in the scape sensor.
Template-Editor
{{ states('sensor.dying_light_pc_test_cdkeys_com').split('€')[1] }}
{{ states('sensor.dying_light_pc_test_cdkeys_com').replace('€', '') }}
{{ states('sensor.dying_light_pc_test_cdkeys_com')[1:] }}
Ergebnistyp: string
59.99
59.99
59.99
So why its working in template editor ? And not in the value_template from the scrape sensor?
Shouldn’t it be
{{ value.replace('€', '') }}
Otherwise you are trying to change the previous state of the sensor, not the new state.

I did this
- platform: scrape
resource: "https://www.cdkeys.com/pc/dying-light-2-steam-pc"
unit_of_measurement: "USD"
name: Dying Light - PC (CDKEYS.com)
select: 'span#product-price-3430'
value_template: "{{ value[1:] }}"
scan_interval: 600
and got this
as Andrew said above you were modifying previous state
