I have a sensor that gave me a detailed weather forecast in its attributes. It stopped working 2 weeks ago, and I have been trying to resolve the issue ever since. Whenever it tries to update every 15 minutes, I get this in the log:
Logger: homeassistant.helpers.sensor
Source: helpers/trigger_template_entity.py:204
First occurred: 12:45:00 AM (40 occurrences)
Last logged: 10:30:00 AM
Error rendering state template for sensor.nws_daily_forecasts: UndefinedError: 'dict object' has no attribute 'forecast'
This is the sensor in my configuration.yaml:
template:
- trigger:
- platform: time_pattern
minutes: "/15"
action:
- service: nws.get_forecasts_extra
data:
type: twice_daily
target:
entity_id: weather.klqk_daynight
response_variable: daily_forecast
sensor:
- name: "NWS Daily Forecasts"
unique_id: nws_daily_forecasts
state: >
"{{ now() }}"
attributes:
forecast_0: "{{ daily_forecast.forecast[0].detailed_description }}"
forecast_1: "{{ daily_forecast.forecast[1].detailed_description }}"
forecast_2: "{{ daily_forecast.forecast[2].detailed_description }}"
forecast_3: "{{ daily_forecast.forecast[3].detailed_description }}"
If I go to Developer Tools>Actions and paste:
service: nws.get_forecasts_extra
data:
type: twice_daily
target:
entity_id: weather.klqk_daynight
response_variable: daily_forecast
I get this response:

Can someone please help me determine what I am doing wrong? I assume I am not extracting the items from the dictionary list using the proper format.
Maybe something changed in the data format returned from the NWS because it was working for quite a while as is. Thanks!
