Help me: I have sensor.myday whose states are: “27/03/2023”
I want to extract only the 27, how do I do that?
value_template: '{{ states("sensor.myday ")|int == 27}}'
Error
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.myday')[:2] }}"
if it’s always the first two characters (dd/mm/yyyy). If it’s not,
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.myday').split('/')[0] }}"
You can try these out in the Template Editor. I’ve used x because my system doesn’t have your sensor:
Your attempt says “convert the sensor state to an int (which will fail because the string can’t be converted, and no default was supplied); and return True if it’s equal to 27, or False if it isn’t”.
If you are trying to compare it to 27, both of my templates still return a string, so you could do this to return True for 27:
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.myday').split('/')[0] == '27' }}"
