Template Sensor using data (Yaml?) from another sensor

Configuration
1

I am using the KIA_UVO integration to provide data from my car.

It queries the servers and retrieves a bunch of data which it stores in a sensor named sensor.tucson_data (in my case). It then helpfully creates many sensors with the data it has obtained - but understandably not for every individual data point.

I want to create a sensor for “fuelLevel” that I can display on the dashboard, so I believe I should use a template sensor for it. My problem is that it seems like the data was saved in YAML format (not JSON). There are plenty of guides and examples that show how to use a value_template to extract data from JSON - but none that I can find explain how to do it from YAML.

Here’s what the data looks like. The path to the attribute I want is: vehicle_data.status.fuelLevel

How do I get that using a value_template for a template sensor?

Hi Drew,

Thanks very much. That worked perfectly!
