You need to provide default values for float and int. Sometimes, the sensor value is unknown, and HA cannot turn that into a float value.

As a start, for every float and int in your template, change it to float(0) and int(0).

#4

thank you, the errors have disappeared, but if I restart hassio, the energy, daily, monthly and yearly values are duplicated

thank you

#5

Correct code, but if I restart hassio the daily, monthly and yearly values double

change it to float(0) and int(0)
