Trouble getting specific data from sensor

Configuration
1

Currently made a python script that updates a sensor like below:

I’m then using a markdown lovelace card to ‘attempt’ :smiley: to display some of the channels like BBC One, TWO, ITV, Channel 4 and 5.

currently i’m using:

{% set tv_guide = state_attr('sensor.test_tv_guide', 'full_listing') %} 

{% for chan in tv_guide %}
  {{ chan.channel }}: {{ chan.show }} - {{ chan.time }}
{% endfor %}

Which displays all the data as expected like below:

Is there a better way to access and display this?

I’m using list-card to display tabular info like this.

Did not know the list-card and requires a parser but that is a nice card indeed.
List-trouble at the moment is ‘attributes’ and I too am using markdown. My formatting is a bit different though as using table tr/td
Example, this for my kid’s homework

Thanks thats neat! (While i migrate to this), i’m trying to filter the json, for only channels BBC One etc

Can all be done in the card, the code becomes just ‘more’ … would be nicer to have a BBC-only sensor though :slight_smile:

adding code of card…there is more complexity possible

      tr:nth-child(n+2) > td:nth-child(2) {

      }`

and this is the attrib of the sensor

so taking your example above, swap dates for channelnames and then set the sensor up as channelname that way i can pull it in? Problem is im not setting the sensor up via config yaml, im using REST API to update the sensor from a python script that runs on a local docker

Also, would love to turn this into a HA Sensor and set it up, just struggling to understand the documentation on it :smiley:
