Temperatur Readings / Power Consumption for DECT 200

Configuration
1

Hi, I’ve set up the DECT200 component and its working fine as a switch. However, i would like to be able to see further measurements, such as temperature readings or power usage.

Is there any way how i could achive that? Thats in advance!

Any ideas? I can see temperature values when i click on my DECT200 entity, but i would like to display them right in the card (besides the state of the switch).

Hi Benjamin,
you can do that with ‘Template Sensor’ https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.template/

Add follwing in your configuration.yaml in sensor section:

  - platform: template
      sensors:
        wz_temp:
          value_template: '{{ states.switch.YOUR-DECT200-NAME.attributes.Temperature }}'
          friendly_name: 'Temperatur Wohnzimmer'

EDIT: To see the temperature from the DECT 200 in the card, you have to add the sensor in the group

group:
  wohnzimmer:
    name: Wohnzimmer
    entities:
    - light.wohnzimmer_lampe
    - switch.ambiente
    - sensor.wz_temp

and with customize you can also change the icon:

customize:
  sensor.wz_temp:
    icon: mdi:thermometer
    assumed_state: false

Hi,
i know this is an old thread, but i tried it the way @alisarioglu described above, but i do not getting any reading from my DECT 200.
The Sensor is showing, but no reading availabe.
I get the same results as in Post #1 (Switch working, upon click i see all data incl. temperature.)

any guess?

Hi, in case still relevant as I cam across recently as well. the “T” in Temperature" is in capital, but should be in lower case.

platform: template
sensors:
sophias_temp:
value_template: ‘{{ states.switch.sophias_liight.attributes.temperature }}’
friendly_name: ‘Temperatur WZ’
unit_of_measurement: ‘°C’

Even if this Thread is old, I think my question belongs here for others who might have the same question :slight_smile:

I wanted to add a graph by adding this:

history_graph:
  gr1:
    entities:
      - sensor.wz_temp

But I only get an ugly bar. unit_of_measurement will influence the graphical presentation but I get: Invalid config for [sensor.template]: [unit of measurement] is an invalid option for [sensor.template].
Please help, thanks :slight_smile:

-edit-

I have found the solution :slight_smile:

    unit_of_measurement: '°C'
    value_template: '{{ float(states.switch.YOUR-DECT200-NAME.attributes.temperature) }}'
