SENSOR entity_picture_template

Configuration
1

have a sensor that I convert from hours to percent, that works as far as all goes well.
But I would like to have different icons for the states.

and I would need something that I the sensor value of 1 percent to 5 percent indicates an icon, etc …

  • platform: template
    sensors:
    asche_sensor:
    entity_id: sensor.asche_sensor
    value_template: ‘{{100-((states. sensor.verbleibende_heizstunden_bis_zur_asche_entleeren_warnung.state | int) / 800 * 100) | int }}’
    unit_of_measurement: ‘% voll’

    entity_picture_template: >
    {% if is_state(‘sensor.asche_sensor’, ‘4’) %}
    ‘/local/icons/asche/asche_leer.png’
    {% endif %}

how can i edit this line the HA displays me the same icon of 1-5 percent?

Thank you for your effort! :wink:
{% if is_state(‘sensor.asche_sensor’, ‘4’) %} ???

Not sure i understand what you want.
Show the same entity_picture if the state of the sensor is 1-5?
{% if states('sensor.asche_sensor') | int <= 5 %}
should do it.

Thanks for your code but the sensor does not work anymore and in HA unknown is displayed.

Can you post the code of your sensor once again?
And please format the code as described in the blue box on top.

platform: template
sensors:
  asche_sensor:
   entity_id: sensor.asche_sensor
   value_template: '{{100-((states. sensor.verbleibende_heizstunden_bis_zur_asche_entleeren_warnung.state | int) / 800 * 100) | int }}'
   unit_of_measurement: '% voll'
   friendly_name: Asche Füllstand
   entity_picture_template: >
     {% if states('sensor.asche_sensor') | int <= '5' %}
       '/local/icons/asche/asche_leer.png'
     {% endif %}

Well, the template in your first post ('4') shows me that the sensor returns a string.

With states('sensor.asche_sensor') | int , we convert this string to a number.

Now we want to compare that number <= 5, but when you put a number in quotes, you create a string.
→ TypeError: ‘<=’ not supported between instances of ‘int’ and ‘str’

So remove the quotes around 5 and it should work.
Like i wrote it in my first post.

  entity_picture_template: >
    {% if states('sensor.asche_sensor') | int <= 5 %}
      /local/icons/asche/asche_leer.png
    {% endif %}

Also the quotes around the picture path are not needed, i think.
