Templates To have NaN Unavailable Unknown Passed Without Error Log

Feature Requests
1

so id liked to see Templates that are numerical that get Non numerical input get ignored by Error Logs

if its a Sensor. and its unavailable state and its a numerical sensor there is no error log for it

when i try to pass that same sensor to a Template i made for better Naming and its a Temperature in C
and it pass’s unavailable… Logs complain its a non numerical state…

so it should be
“NaN”, “unavaliable”, “unknown” when they are passed to a Template numerical just like a numerical sensor it doesnt throw an error.
it should allow those key words to be ignored as “string” should get treated the same way its processed however a “sensor” is processed

This is already implemented. Use the availability template option. e.g.

template:
  - sensor:
      - name: "Transmission Down Speed"
        unit_of_measurement: "kB/s"
        state: "{{ states('sensor.transmission_down_speed')|float * 1024 }}"
        availability: "{{ is_number(states('sensor.transmission_down_speed')) }}"

      - name: "Transmission Up Speed"
        unit_of_measurement: "kB/s"
        state: "{{ states('sensor.transmission_up_speed')|float * 1024 }}"
        availability: "{{ is_number(states('sensor.transmission_up_speed')) }}"
