Sensor for average temperature

Configuration
1

Folks,
I do have some sensors,
fibaro and two climate sensor where the temp is a attribute. All three do report result. What I wanna do now, is create an average templete sension which is calculating the average temp. But you imagine my try does not work

  average_kueche_temp:
      friendly_name: 'Average Kuechen Temp'
      unit_of_measurement: "°C"
      value_template: >-
          {{ (float(states.sensor.fibaro_kueche_temperature.state) + float(states.climate.kuche_thermostat_tepemerature.state) + float(states.climate.kuche_wandthermostat_temperature.state)) / 3 | round(2) }}

can anybody help me with the syntax?

You might want to play with this the template work area in hass its one of the icons at the bottom of the menu. THen you can past this code in and mess around with it until you get something that works. I tried it with my temp sensors and this worked. Putting () around the addition and division calculation seem to do the trick

{{ ((float(states.sensor.family_room_thermostat_temperature.state) + float(states.sensor.garage.state) + float(states.sensor.playroom.state))/3) | round(2) }}

You could look here … and use mean :slight_smile:

works like a charm. Can anybody help how I can get more than one min/max sensor. Created a minmax.yaml with:

platform: min_max
sensors:
  waerme:
# type: min, max or mean
  type: mean
  entity_ids:
  - sensor.fibaro_buero_temperature
  - sensor.fibaro_gang_temperature
  - sensor.fibaro_wohnzimmer_temperature
  - sensor.fibaro_kueche_temperature
  - sensor.fibaro_schlafzimmer_temperature
  - sensor.vision_multisensor_bad_temperature
  wohnzimmer_waerme:
# type: min, max or mean
  type: mean
  entity_ids:
  - sensor.fibaro_wohnzimmer_temperature
  - sensor.wohnzimmer_thermostat_temp_rechts
  - sensor.wohnzimmer_thermostat_temp_links
  - sensor.wohnzimmer_wand_temp
  buero_waerme:
# type: min, max or mean
  type: mean
  entity_ids:
  - sensor.fibaro_buero_temperature
  - sensor.buero_wand_temp
  - sensor.buero_thermostat_temp
  kueche_waerme:

  type: mean
  entity_ids:
  - sensor.fibaro_kueche_temperature
  bad_waerme:
# type: min, max or mean
  type: mean
  entity_ids:
  - sensor.vision_multisensor_bad_temperature
  - sensor.bad_wand_temp
  - sensor.bad_thermostat_temp
  schlafzimmer_waerme:
# type: min, max or mean
  type: mean
  entity_ids:
  - sensor.fibaro_schlafzimmer_temperature
  - sensor.schlafzimmer_wand_temp
  - sensor.schlafzimmer_thermostat_temp
  gang_waerme:
# type: min, max or mean
  type: mean
  entity_ids:
  - sensor.fibaro_gang_temperature

all I got @ startup:

How can I create more than one minmax sensor in my yaml file?

5

I do it like this…

- platform: min_max
  entity_ids:
    - sensor.miflora_bird_of_paradise_temperature
    - sensor.miflora_flowering_fern_temperature
    - sensor.miflora_volcano_fern_temperature
  name: avglroomtemp
  type: mean

- platform: min_max
  entity_ids:
    - sensor.miflora_bird_of_paradise_light_intensity
    - sensor.miflora_flowering_fern_light_intensity
    - sensor.miflora_volcano_fern_light_intensity
  name: avglroomlux
  type: mean

Hope that helps :slight_smile:

6

How would i copy that into a seperate min-max.yaml?

7

Well I just use copy and paste into notepad++ on my pc and save it, notepad++ saves it to my pi via winscp.

8

I run everything here on my MAC and use ATOM. No tabs …

9

what I can enter and ist working in my min-max.yaml is

platform: min_max
entity_ids:
    - sensor.fibaro_buero_temperature
    - sensor.fibaro_gang_temperature
name: avglroomtemp
type: mean

configuration.yaml has a

sensor: !include_dir_list sensor

things are great. As soon as I enhance it with a second sensor:

platform: min_max
entity_ids:
    - sensor.fibaro_buero_temperature
    - sensor.fibaro_gang_temperature
name: sensor123
type: mean
platform: min_max
entity_ids:
    - sensor.fibaro_buero_temperature
    - sensor.fibaro_gang_temperature
name: sensor456
type: mean

`hass --script check_config`
is claiming:

Seems to work when I create per min-max sensor a new yaml and save it into my sensor directory.

12

From the docs …

It is important to note that each file must contain only one entry when using !include_dir_list.

13

created for each minmax sensor a seperate yaml and not works fine thanks

14

you could use one file and list each item:

- platform: min_max
  sensors:
    platform: min_max
    entity_ids:
    - sensor.fibaro_buero_temperature
    - sensor.fibaro_gang_temperature
    name: sensor123
    type: mean
- platform: min_max
  sensors:
    platform: min_max
    entity_ids:
      - sensor.fibaro_buero_temperature
      - sensor.fibaro_gang_temperature
    name: sensor
    type: mean
15

is there a way to actually know which is the sensor that has the highest or lowest temperature? so you can list the temperature and where?
