I have a problem when adding multiple sensor data to a new entity. With the template code I provided above, I can create a new entity, but the data is not displayed (not available).

Additionally, I have these two additional codes. Can you tell me what the errors are here?

- sensor:
    - name: "pixa_personenanzahl"
      unique_id: "Pixa Personenanzahl"
      state: >-
        {% set persons = states('sensor.pixa_personenanzahl') | float(0) %}
        {{ ((persons - 2) / 0,13) | round(0)}}

  - sensor:
    - name: "temperatur_ist"
      unique_id: "Temperatur RTC"
      state: >-
        {% set temperature = states('sensor.temperatur_ist') | float(0) %}
        {{ ((temperature - 18) / 0,08) | round(0)}} `

Post the full configuration of the template section without breaking it apart like you did.

The only thing I notice is that you have 2 sensors with the same name, which will result in an entity with an _2 at the end.

Outside that, your first pixa_personenanzahl entity can be made in the UI without templates as a sensor group helper with sum selected.

I added the sum helper and it worked. so the only problem is the converting the value into %

Numbers in templates use decimal . not ,.

i.e. 5 and and half in templates is 5.5 not 5,5

if i watch the logs i get this error

you removed the proper indenting from your first post.

template:
  - sensor:
    - name: "pixa_personenanzahl"
      unique_id: "Pixa Personenanzahl"
      state: >-
        {% set persons = states('sensor.pixa_personenanzahl') | float(0) %}
        {{ ((persons - 2) / 0.13) | round(0)}}

  - sensor:
    - name: "temperatur_ist"
      unique_id: "Temperatur RTC"
      state: >-
        {% set temperature = states('sensor.temperatur_ist') | float(0) %}
        {{ ((temperature - 18) / 0.08) | round(0)}}

got it. it works now thank you

Kerimayhan · March 4, 2024, 1:09pm

If i show the result on my homepage it shows the exact number but it doesnt have the % sign at the end. Is it possible to add it? Because im using the Max combiner and if the result doesnt have the % sign the max combiner just ignores it

Add unit_of_measurement: % and device_class: percent to your template entities.

´´´
template:

sensor:
- name: “Personenanzahl in Prozent”
  unique_id: “Pixa Personenanzahl”
  state: >-
  {% set persons = states(‘sensor.personenanzahl_total’) | float(0) %}
  {{ ((persons - 2) / 0.13) | round(0)}}
  unit_of_measurement: “%”
  device_class: “percent”
sensor:
- name: “Temperatur ist in Prozent”
  unique_id: “Temperatur RTC”
  state: >-
  {% set temperature = states(‘sensor.temperatur_ist’) | float(0) %}
  {{ ((temperature - 18) / 0.08) | round(0)}}
  unit_of_measurement: “%”
  device_class: “percent”

there are errors if i dont use the " " but now the template as a whole doesnt work

did it like this and it shows the % now
