Template binary sensor

1

Trying to set up several templated binary sensor - but seems the syntaxis is a little bit different

With this in binary_sensor.yaml get several errors that data for sensors is needed

- platform: template
  sensors:
  bedroom_humidity_low:
    value_template: "{{ states.sensor.0_hum.state | int < 39 and states.input_boolean.rules_sleeping.state == 'off' }}"
  kids_humidity_low:
    value_template: "{{ states.sensor.1_hum.state | int < 30 and states.input_boolean.rules_sleeping.state == 'off' }}"

2017-08-18 20:21:33 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config] Invalid config for [binary_sensor.template]: expected a dictionary for dictionary value @ data[‘sensors’]. Got None. (See ?, line ?). P
lease check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/binary_sensor.template/

your sensors list requires one more indentation level … I guess

The sensors 0_hum and 1_hum have to be renamed to start with a lowercase letter.
Here is the final code with renamed sensors:

  - platform: template
    sensors:
        
      bedroom_humidity_low:
        value_template: '{{ states.sensor.a0_hum.state | int < 39 and states.input_boolean.rules_sleeping.state == "off" }}'

      kids_humidity_low:
        value_template: '{{ states.sensor.a1_hum.state | int < 30 and states.input_boolean.rules_sleeping.state == "off" }}'
