I have not found a way to increase the length of these helpers and can understand your problem. Iād like them to be able to store more data as well.
The only workaround I was able to find is with some commands to write data into a file and read it back later. Certainly not the prettiest solution but is able to store as much data as you need.

Hi
An alternative would be to use this trigger template to store global variables. Since it is stored as an attribute, it can be longer.

Not possible. use a trigger template text sensor as described in the post above.
