TemplateError ('ValueError: Template error: int got invalid input

Configuration
1

Hello,

I’m getting error messages from the template engine.

The template is used to find out if the garage door is open/close.
The template reads the angle of the door as a numeric value.

The automation that uses this sensor is working fine. The template gives a good result in the template editor. but the logs are keeping giving errors.

What am I missing here?

This is my template config

You need to supply defaults for your |int filters. You don’t need to use the filter once you have set the value of the variable.

- sensors:
    kanteldeur_positie:
      friendly_name: Kanteldeur positie
      value_template: >-
        {% set positie = states('sensor.zb_kanteldeur_angle_y')| int(0) %}
        {% if positie <= 70 %}
          Open
        {% elif positie > 70 %}
          Closed
        {% endif %}
      icon_template: >-
        {% set positie = states('sensor.zb_kanteldeur_angle_y')| int(0) %}

        {% elif positie > 70 %}
