Synology Sensor cannot get data

##SOLVED##

Intel NUC Celeron, Hass.io ver 51.2

Synology DSS1817+ 6 Ironwolf 10 TB drives, 2 Seagate 8 TB drives DSM 6.1.3-15152 Update 3 (today)

Need help in getting the attached data to these sensors, guessing it is some kind of template but I have not made it that far yet.

I have activated and tried every available sensor and cannot use these as they are:

# # - sensor.status_sda		normal				friendly_name: Status (sda)
									                        icon: mdi:checkbox-marked-circle-outline

# # - sensor.status_smart_sda	normal				friendly_name: Status (Smart) (sda)
									                        icon: mdi:checkbox-marked-circle-outline

# # - sensor.temperature_sda	33				         unit_of_measurement: °C
									                         friendly_name: Temperature (sda)
									                         icon: mdi:thermometer

# # - sensor.total_size_volume_1	43.6Tb			friendly_name: Total Size (volume_1)
									                        icon: mdi:chart-pie

# # - sensor.type_volume_1    shr_with_1_disk_protect	friendly_name: Type (volume_1)
									                        icon: mdi:harddisk

# # - sensor.used_space_volume_1	16.5Tb			friendly_name: Used Space (volume_1)
									                        icon: mdi:chart-pie

# # - sensor.status_volume_1	        normal			friendly_name: Status (volume_1)
									                        icon: mdi:checkbox-marked-circle-outline

Using them cause the following message:

Can you show how you’ve tried to use them? ( the \t I think usually means that HA has seen a tab char which aren’t allowed)

Thanks Keith for explaining the error.

Would you believe that I spent hours on this last night and today they work!:sweat_smile:

The only difference from last night and today was I used atom instead of notepad++, and of course it is a new day and the sun is shining.

Could you point me in the direction of hiding the icon and text unless it changes from normal to abnormal or fail? The sensor displaying normal is boring and a space hog as there are many.

Notepad++ needs to be configured to replace tabs with spaces - it’s in the preferences somewhere.

I would customize them as hidden and use an automation to notify you if they get above/below a particular level…

  customize:
    # Add an entry for each entity that you want to overwrite.
    sensor.living_room_motion:
      hidden: true
