I created a file template_test.yaml And i reference it from the configuration.yaml file with template: !include template_test.yaml even after multiple full restart it still wont create that sensor
in that file there is only
- sensor: - name: "Test Sensor Check" state: "Working" unique_id: template_test_check
This isn’t a template. And your sensor has no event to listen for to cause an update.
What happens if you use:
state: "Working {{ now() }}"
That should update every minute.
Solved - something was messing up loading my template.yaml file - i restored backup and all was fine
