Hello all,
I am trying to setup a template sensor that I would like to use in the with the climate integration. The code I have is as follows but clearly I am doing something wrong with the syntax because instead of a temperature value I get somthing else entirely:
- platform: template
sensors:
room_target_temp:
friendly_name: "House Target Temperature"
unit_of_measurement: 'degrees'
value_template: >-
{% set avg_h_tmp = states('sensor.average_house_temp') | float %}
{% set hall_tmp = states('sensor.roomtemp_hallway') | float %}
{% if avg_h_tmp <= hall_tmp %}
states('sensor.average_house_temp')
{% else %}
states('sensor.roomtemp_hallway')
{% endif %}
What I get for the newly created sensor.room_target_temp
is: states('sensor.average_house_temp')
. What I intend to obtain is the value of the sensor.average_house_temp at that instant. How can I achieve this? What is the correct syntax?
Can someone point me in the right direction please?
