State_not: 'none' not valid for conditonal card?

Configuration Frontend
1

HI,
have a sensor that is dynamically created when a script is run. Before that the sensor is ‘none’…

so, trying a conditional card:

  - type: conditional
    conditions:
      - entity: sensor.hassio_main_loaded_components
        state_not: 'none'  # tried none and None also, no change.
    card:
      - type: markdown
        content: >
          {{state_attr('sensor.hassio_main_loaded_components','text_lovelace')}}

but this errors out saying:

17

which is mystifying to me… please have a look what is wrong with this card config?
thanks!

Try removing the dash ‘-’ from

  - type: markdown

It should look like

  type: markdown

That’s my guess. I think I ran into the same problem as you. Conditional card can only handle one card, so it doesn’t use the dash.

of course. I keep forgetting and overlooking that. thanks. Makes the config valid.

But still, the test for state_not is not working, no matter what I try… Cant we test for a non-existing state?

I keep getting this:

using:

 - type: conditional
    conditions:
      - entity: sensor.hassio_main_loaded_components
        state_not: 'None'
    card:
      type: markdown
      content: >
        {{state_attr('sensor.hassio_main_loaded_components','text_lovelace')}}

or any variant in the state_not: field
