Thanks for your reply, hopefully you can assist me a bit more in the good direction.
Yeah, sorry for my short reply. I was starting to type a bit more explanation but realized that I didn’t have time to finish it 
Anyway, what a sensor template does is taking a state attribute of an entity in HA and turn it into a sensor. If you add code similar to the example on the component page and replace the state.whatever part between the {{ }} with the state attribute of the Toon component you’re good to go. But can you tell a bit more about where you need assistance specifically?
This is what i currently have for my Eneco Toon:
See below for the configuration. I’m am still looking for a way to increase/decrease the temperature manually so if anyone knows how to get that done please post a reply !

Thanks again for your reply. No worries!
I think the problem is that I just started and not really now how create a sensor from my Toon temperature.
I can follow the “Template Sensor” but to make to make like a temperature sensor from the Toon there it goes wrong.
Something like this. but not sure about that value template
- platform: template
sensors:
sensor.toon_temp:
value_template: '{{ current_temperature }}'
friendly_name: 'Woonkamer Temperatuur"
unit_of_measurement: 'graden'Couple of things:
- Where you say “sensor.toon_temp:” is where you set a name for your sensor. You can leave the “sensor.” out, since HA knows that you’re using “platform: template” and one line below “sensors:”. So just say “toon_temp” there or anything else that you like and isn’t already used elsewhere. Once everything works, HA automatically turns this code into “sensor.toon_temp” to use in automations and other stuff.
- The lines following the “toon_temp:” line should be indented two spaces. If you later want to add another sensor using a sensor template, you declare it’s name on the same indent as “toon_temp” so HA knows how to distinguish.
- What to put in between the value_template brackets can be found on the states tab in HA. If you go to HA in the browser, there are 5 or 6 six icons below on the left menu bar. Look for the “< >”, click there. Here you see all the entities that are known by your HA instance. Find the toon component that has the temp attribute you’re looking for. There you have the info you need. The value template needs something like states.[toon].attributes.[temperature] where [toon] is replaced by the name of the entity in the left column and [temperature] by the name of the temp attribute in the right column. I currently am in the proces of redoing my entire HA setup so I can’t look for myself what the values are. If you have difficulties figuring out what to put in the value template, post a screenshot of the toon entity in the states tab.
Good luck!

Never made a template before but with the information allready put together by Imperial-Guard and Michiel this works for me. It creates 2 sensors:
- sensor.toon_target_temperature
- sensor.toon_current_temperature
- platform: template
sensors:
toon_target_temperature:
value_template: '{{ states.climate.toon_van_eneco.attributes.temperature }}'
friendly_name: 'Doel Temperatuur'
unit_of_measurement: '°C'
toon_current_temperature:
value_template: '{{ states.climate.toon_van_eneco.attributes.current_temperature }}'
friendly_name: 'Huidige Temperatuur'
unit_of_measurement: '°C'

Great thanks!
Really appreciate all the support here!
Got more understanding now how to create sensors!

Anyone?
Now that Eneco is raising the monthly costs to use Toon externally I’m very interested in knowing if anyone could get the Toon component working with Hass without needing the Eneco Toon subscription.
I only have this subscription of 4,50 euro’s per month to be able to interact with Toon externally. So if in any way we can get it working without that subscription I can save 54,- euro per year.
Hey @PuckStar, I think Eneco is raising the costs accross the board, supposedly so that they can add these great new features, but I think more to add to their bottom line. Very annoying. Check this out though, cyberjunky created a way to add a rooted Toon to Home Assistant. Not sure if you want to go that far, but I think it’s the only way to get around the subscription fee:
https://github.com/cyberjunky/home-assistant-custom-components/blob/master/climate/toon.py
just installed hass.io and playing around.
I can’t find the custom_component folder in hass.io’s config folder. Do i have to create this folder?
Yes I had the same with the hassbian image install.
Just create the folder manually.

Thanks, will do
Done… but now hass will not boot… this is because i have this in my configuration.yaml:
toon:
username: mytoonusername
password: *mytoonpassword
my password starts with a * and somehow yaml doesn’t except this.
yaml validator: (): did not find expected alphabetic or numeric character while scanning an alias at line 73 column 15
try to put ’ around your password, or "
so ‘*mytoonpassword’
or “*mytoonpassword”
otherwise change the password at Eneco to be without a *
I now quoted my password like this: “*mytoonpassword” and hass.io boots but i get an invalid config on the Home screen.
in the log:

Thanks for your help PuckStar! I guess it needs to be fixed in the script. But i will try few times… but first get some sleep, first day at work tommorow after the vacation

i have opened an issue on github.
@PuckStar are you on hassbian? Is it still working? Or am I missing something? Can you share me your files for toon? I thought maybe there were changes in the script.
Great work guys! Not sure how stable this is but love it so far.
