Sensor Config

Hello, i tried difference ways to add the energy data from my 2 TP Link HS110 Plugs.
But i always get an error. Im very new in Linux, Raspberry and Home Assistant.

Below my Config file. i know there are much same Topics but i tried all and cant get it to work.

it’s an indentation problem. Instead of this:

sensors:
### TPLINK HS110 Power Consumption ###
-platform: template

Try this

sensors:
### TPLINK HS110 Power Consumption ###
  - platform: template

Hello, thanks i tried it before. Now i get this log.

This file has been truncated. show original

it is working fine for me

with one plug in the Config all is working great. But i have two plugs and this dont want to work.
Either the second Plug will be ignored or i get the error messages.

deluxestyle · February 4, 2021, 11:30am

could it be that you have an issue with the indentation of the tp_link_watts_total sensors? seems they are not in the same line as the plug sensors

MementoMori · February 4, 2021, 11:38am

Can you share you full Config file? i copy and paste yours in my config and chanced the switch names but i get this error again. Maybe my config is broken?

Plug 1 is one sensor, plug 2 another
Add before plug 2:

 - platform: template
   sensors:
     tp_power2_amps:

Best, JR

duceduc · February 4, 2021, 11:43am

since you are adding the code to the config file, you need to add sensor at the very top.

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
        hs110_amps:
          friendly_name_template: "HS110 Aktuelle Stromstärke"

          unit_of_measurement: 'A'
          icon_template: mdi:clipboard-pulse-outline
        hs110_watts:
          friendly_name_template: "HS110 Aktuelle Leistung"
          value_template: '{{ states.switch.wifi_steckdose.attributes["current_power_w"] | float }}'
          unit_of_measurement: 'W'
          icon_template: mdi:clipboard-pulse-outline

Yep, “sensor:” was missing
