Template configuration format error

Configuration
1

Hello,

In the logbooks I keep getting the error:

“WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.template.config] The entity definition format under template: differs from the platform configuration format. See Template - Home Assistant”

I have no idea how to fix this, the scripts does work, but i like to resolve the error.

This is the code:

Can someone please help find out what i am doing wrong?

Have a look at the first example in the documentation for Legacy Template Sensor configuration format. Take note of the line specifying the platform type that appears before the line containing the word sensors:

Where is that in your posted configuration?

3

I have it like this:

configuration.yaml:
packages: !include_dir_named integrations
__
template: !include_dir_list …/entities/templates
__
sensor: !include_dir_list …/entities/sensors

So, the code is in entities/templates/code.yaml
It is not inside the “sensor” file anymore.

4

Isn’t is just sensor: and not sensors:

5

If the domain is template then that means you are using the new way of defining Template Sensors (as opposed to the legacy method). However, in that case, your “new style” configuration is using “old style” options.

There’s no friendly_name option in the new style (it’s name) and the configuration structure is different.

Refer to the documentation for State-based Template Sensors.

Yes, that is correct.
Then I have to find out how to “convert” the code to the new format I think.

7

Typo:
friendly_name would be name in “new style”, actually. value_template is what became state

Fixed it seconds before you spotted it. :slightly_smiling_face:

It’s all in the documentation but it’s not merely changing the names of a few options. The overall structure has also changed. Pay close attention to the example showing multiple sensors.

I know, thats the hard part haha, I am very new in code so it will not be in a few days :stuck_out_tongue:

Also template: !include_dir_list …/entities/templates makes it difficultier with more sensors in one file.

11

I assume you know that the template domain is exclusively for Template Sensors defined with the new format. It cannot contain Template Sensors defined with the old format or a sensor based on a different platform.

Yes, but I have dir_list and not dir_list_merge,
I am confused wheter or not to place every template in a seerate file or if i can make the whole code in one file.

I have to look it all up when I have more time
