Hi,
I’m trying to get the current temperature of my ariston water heater using a template sensor.
If I just set
value_template: "{{ state_attr('water_heater.boiler', 'current_temperature') }}"
I get the Value “58.0”, but it’s a string.
As soon as I add unit_of_measurement: "°C" I get a warning that the value is a string, but a numeric value is expected. Makes sense, but how can I convert it?
I tried
value_template: "{{ state_attr('water_heater.boiler', 'current_temperature') | float }}"
and
value_template: "{{ state_attr('water_heater.boiler', 'current_temperature') | int}}"
which gives me the errors
...it has the non-numeric value: '"58.0"' (<class 'str'>)
and
...it has the non-numeric value: '"58"' (<class 'str'>)
So it seems to convert the value but does not change the type?
I’m using the most current verion of ha with the Arison integration V3:
Any pointers what I’m missing?
Thanks!
Update: Found the error!
It was the " at the beginning and end of the template string!
