Template Sensor for Fibaro Motion Sensors

Configuration
1

Hi,
I’m stuck on building a template sensor to show battery-life of Fibaro Motions Sensors (fgms001zw5_motion_sensor). Can anyone guide me on what I’m doing wrong here?

I am serving this from sensor.yaml that I load in configuration.yaml.

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      fibaro_battery:
        friendly_name: "Fibaro Battery Status"
        unit_of_measurement: '%' 
        value_template: '{{ states.zwave.fibaro_system_fgms001zw5_motion_sensor.attributes.battery_level }}'

Thanks in advance,
~Bryan

What is the output of

{{ states.zwave.fibaro_system_fgms001zw5_motion_sensor.attributes }}

in the template editor?

Well, the battery_level attribute is there.

What does

{{ states.zwave.fibaro_system_fgms001zw5_motion_sensor.attributes.battery_level }}

show in the tempate editor?

You could try to make an ‘int’ of it:

{{ states.zwave.fibaro_system_fgms001zw5_motion_sensor.attributes.battery_level | int }}

Do you see the sensor.fibaro_battery sensor in the developer frame (http://ip-address:8123/dev-state)?
If so, what’s the value?

Thanks for your help so far. I am making a little progress.

The sensor finally showed up, but few errors which I’ll post below my code. Basically I believe I had some indenting issues, and then sensor began working. But I tried your approach by adding INT, and see some ‘mappingproxy object’ errors.

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      fibaro_battery:
        friendly_name: "Fibaro Battery Status"
        unit_of_measurement: '%' 
        value_template: '{{ states.zwave.fibaro_system_fgms001zw5_motion_sensor.attributes.battery_level | int }}'
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      fibaro_battery_2:
        friendly_name: "Fibaro Battery Status_2"
        unit_of_measurement: '%' 
        value_template: '{{ states.zwave.fibaro_system_fgms001zw5_motion_sensor_2.attributes.battery_level | int }}'
  - platform: yr

Thanks again so far.

If the sensor is showing up, you probably don’t need the ìnt`. Just remove it.

Thank you for your help!
