Template Loop error

Configuration
1

Hi folks, thanks in advance for your help.

I’m getting a template loop with a sensor I have that shows me unavailable (etc) Z-Wave entities.
Error from the logs below …

Initially, I assumed that it was because it was including itself in the list - sensor.unavailable_entities.

I tried to mitigate this by then excluding itself from the results as quickly as I could using …
rejectattr(‘entity_id’,‘eq’,‘sensor.unavailable_entities’)

But this hasn’t dont the trick, I still see the error.
What am I missing?

Thanks as always … :pray:t2:

Edit - I forgot to mention this when I originally posted - sorry!
sensor.unavailable_entities is also added to the ignored entities group.

 ignored_entities:
   name: "Ignored Entities"
   entities:
     - sensor.unavailable_entities

Put the sensor into your ignore group.

3

Ah I’m sorry - I forgot to mention the group completely. :man_facepalming:t2:

It’s in the ignore group already. When that didn’t work, I added the rejectattr().

 ignored_entities:
   name: "Ignored Entities"
   entities:
     - sensor.unavailable_entities
     - ... etc
4

Ah, ok. What if you change the order? All rejectattr before selectattr

5

Honestly, I wouldn’t have thought you could exclude something when you hadn’t selected something in the first place, so I’d not really considered that one!

I’ll try it and let you know - thank you. :grinning:

On reboot, I immediately got a different error - included below, warning, it’s very long lol.

and another solution if you just want to know if there are issues with your zwavejs devices.

go to the device config for your zwavejs devices and ensure the “node status” entity is enabled for each node.

then you can use this:

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      zwave_failed_nodes:
        friendly_name: "ZwaveJS Failed Nodes"
        value_template: >
          {% set dead_count = states | selectattr("entity_id", "search", "node_status") |
             selectattr('state', 'in', 'dead, unavailable, unknown') |
             map(attribute='entity_id') | list | count %}
          {% set total = states | selectattr("entity_id", "search", "node_status") |
            map(attribute='entity_id') | list | count %}
          {{ dead_count }}/{{ total }}
        attribute_templates: 
          dead nodes: >
            {% set dead_list = states | selectattr("entity_id", "search", "node_status") |
               selectattr('state', 'in', 'dead, unavailable, unknown') |
               map(attribute='name') | list %}
            {{ dead_list }}

Thanks @finity - I actually use this one too for something else and haven’t had any issues.
I’d not considered adapting this one to help me out, but its got me thinking - thank you!

Thanks for your help @pedolsky.
I’d not see this before, and actually hadn’t used packages either. It’s a great idea.
I had a crack and it works perfectly; I’ve even been able to adapt it to do exactly what I was after.

Thanks again. :grinning:
