I am templating the Yr-weather wind sensor using a arrow for displaying wind direction.
In the unit_of_measurement attribute, I want to set the abbreviation value N/NNE/NE/ENE/E etc. This atribute does not have a “_template”.
Any way of making the unit_of_measurement work?
homeassistant:
customize:
sensor.ha_update_available:
state_card_mode: badges
templates:
unit_of_measurement: ${entities['sensor.ha_latest_version'].state}
theme: >
if (state = 'Yes') return 'green_badge'; else return 'blue_badge';
Closing in, but not there. Is this Java or Python code? (Does not really matter since I can’t both).
What am I missing?
sensor.weather_wind_direction2:
templates:
unit_of_measurement: ${entities[‘sensor.weather_wind_direction2’].state}
theme: >
if (337.51 < state < 22.50)
return ‘N’
elif (22.51 < state < 67.50)
return ‘NE’
elif (67.51 < state < 112.50)
return ‘E’
elif (112.51 < statet < 157.50)
return ‘SE’
elif (157.51 < state < 202.50)
return ‘S’
elif (202.51 < state < 247.50)
return ‘SW’
elif (247.51 < state < 292.50)
return ‘W’
elif (292.51 < state < 337.50)
return ‘NW’
endif;
You are mixing the 2 up…
Theming is for the badge style, the UoM template is for the value of the UoM.
You’d have to create another template there to show in the badge-label
Aha, I see.
So, there is no way of making a logic to populate the unit_of_measurement. I have to get the state value from a sensor.
Is there a way to put the state value from the logic of sensor1 into sensor2?
- platform: template
sensors:
weather_wind_direction2:
friendly_name: “Weather Wind direction”
value_template: ‘{{ states.sensor.weather_wind_direction.state }}’
entity_picture_template: >-
{% if 337.51 < states(‘sensor.weather_wind_direction’)|float < 22.50 %}
/local/WindDirection/N.png
SET states.sensor2.state = S
i guess you can play around with that value in a template… there’s no end to it, just try the templates in the template dev-tools and see what happens.
suppose you could create an intermediate señor with a value_template of the wind directions, and use the state of that sensor in the UoM.
Keep it modular and maintainable .
doesnt the sensor.weather_wind_direction2’ give you that already? if so it should just work like that , no?
Got it. Works fine. Thanks so much!
I´ll publish the code after refining it a bit.
Would you mind sharing how you did it in the end? I’m struggling with precisely the same issue right now.
Thanks in advance!
This isn’t working for me. Do I need something special, like custom UI?
I haven’t gotten around to make the 32 pictures for the wind compass jet. – At least decided not to make 360 pixs. Ill post it when done,
The code so far, based on the YR-sensor:
In the file custom.yaml (you need to install customUI).
sensor.wind_compass:
templates:
unit_of_measurement: ${entities['sensor.wind_compass_abbreviation'].state}
In the file sensor.yaml:
- platform: template
sensors:

I’ll give this some thought
Installing customUI finally did the trick for me, thanks for your detailed answer!
you shouldn’t post the same issue twice, I was helping you in the other thread…
Did you post these Badge png’s anywhere?
I would really like to use them…
Right now my Badge is Blank 
Here you go:
Thank you !
a few more icons than your code above uses !
I edited the path and file name for your original N.png to 0.png etc…
but for some reason I still get a blank badge.
I’ll keep playing.
