UPS status in 'text' instead of 'number'

dariusz · September 5, 2022, 7:55pm

I have configured HA to read UPS (type/model SMT1500I) basic data…
Via SNMP platform…

Configuration part:

# UPS_SMT1500I (A)
# battery capacity
  - platform: snmp
    name: 'SMT1500I (A) battery capacity'
    host: 192.168.1.166
    community: public
    baseoid: .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.3.1.0
    unit_of_measurement: '%'
    value_template: ' {{((value | int) * 100)}} '

# battery actual voltage
  - platform: snmp
    name: 'SMT1500I (A) battery actual voltage'
    host: 192.168.1.166
    community: public
    baseoid: .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.3.4.0
    unit_of_measurement: 'V'
    value_template: ' {{((value | int) / 10) | round(1) }} '
    
# input voltage
  - platform: snmp
    name: 'SMT1500I (A) input voltage'
    host: 192.168.1.166
    community: public
    baseoid: .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.3.2.1.0
    unit_of_measurement: 'V'
    
# battery temperature
  - platform: snmp
    name: 'SMT1500I (A) battery temperature'
    host: 192.168.1.166
    community: public
    baseoid: .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.3.2.0
    unit_of_measurement: '°C'
    value_template: ' {{((value | int) / 10) | round(1) }} '
    
# output load
  - platform: snmp
    name: 'SMT1500I (A) output load'
    host: 192.168.1.166
    community: public
    baseoid: .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.2.3.0
    unit_of_measurement: '%'    
    
# battery recommended replace date
  - platform: snmp
    name: 'SMT1500I (A) recommended replace date'
    host: 192.168.1.166
    community: public
    baseoid: .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.21.0 
    unit_of_measurement: 'M/D/Y'

# status
  - platform: snmp
    name: 'SMT1500I (A) status'
    host: 192.168.1.166
    community: public
    baseoid: .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.1.1.0
    unit_of_measurement: ''

For ‘status’ number is displayed.

The question is - what is the easiest way to convert this digit to one of the text below?
In this case ‘status’ 2, to have displayed ‘on line’

unknown(1),
onLine(2),
onBattery(3),
onSmartBoost(4),
timedSleeping(5),
softwareBypass(6),
off(7),
rebooting(8),
switchedBypass(9),
hardwareFailureBypass(10),
sleepingUntilPowerReturn(11),
onSmartTrim(12),
ecoMode(13),
hotStandby(14),
onBatteryTest(15),
emergencyStaticBypass(16),
staticBypassStandby(17),
powerSavingMode(18),
spotMode(19),
eConversion(20),
chargerSpotmode(21),
inverterSpotmode(22),
activeLoad(23),
batteryDischargeSpotmode(24),
inverterStandby (25),
chargerOnly(26)

You need to make a template sensor.

My advice would be to add a blank entry then the list like this:

{% set list = {"", 
"unknown",
"onLine",
"onBattery",
...
} %}

# assuming sensor name
{{ list[ states('sensor.smt1500i_(A)_status')] }}

Thank you for advice…
I’ve followed this… But the sensor does not appear on the list of available entities.
I’m doing somnething wrong?
Configuration check does not show any errors…

# UPS SMT1500I (A) status text

       - name: SMT1500I_A_status_text
#         unique_id: 'smt1500i_a_status_text'
         state: >
           {{ list[ states('sensor.smt1500i_a_status')] }}

           {% set list = {"", 
            "unknown",
            "onLine",
            "onBattery",
           } %}

Is this your first template sensor? Where in your config is this found?

Also, you must define list before you use it. @Hellis81’s example was quite clear, defining the list then pulling out the appropriate item — you’ve flipped them around which won’t work. There is an error in the example, though: list is defined as a dictionary with braces {} rather than brackets [].

Example using the new template format and a tuple (items) instead of a list [items]:

template:
  - sensor:
      - name: SMT1500I_A_status_text
        unique_id: cdc5fc01-e306-401c-8904-c177eb851790
        state: >-
          {% set status_list = ('',
                         'unknown',
                         'onLine',
                         'onBattery',
                         'onSmartBoost',
                         'timedSleeping',
                         'softwareBypass',
                         'off',
                         'rebooting',
                         'switchedBypass',
                         'hardwareFailureBypass',
                         'sleepingUntilPowerReturn',
                         'onSmartTrim',
                         'ecoMode',
                         'hotStandby',
                         'onBatteryTest',
                         'emergencyStaticBypass',
                         'staticBypassStandby',
                         'powerSavingMode',
                         'spotMode',
                         'eConversion',
                         'chargerSpotmode',
                         'inverterSpotmode',
                         'activeLoad',
                         'batteryDischargeSpotmode',
                         'inverterStandby',
                         'chargerOnly') %}

          {{ status_list[states('sensor.smt1500i_a_status')|int] }}

Hellis81 · September 6, 2022, 10:02am

Correct…

We could have used {} but then it would have needed to be { 0:"", 1:"unknown", 2:"online"...}.
Which is not as good solution.

Hellis81 · September 6, 2022, 10:17am

Another method is to use regex:

{% set status = "unknown(1),
onLine(2),
onBattery(3),
onSmartBoost(4),
timedSleeping(5),
softwareBypass(6),
off(7),
rebooting(8),
switchedBypass(9),
hardwareFailureBypass(10),
sleepingUntilPowerReturn(11),
onSmartTrim(12),
ecoMode(13),
hotStandby(14),
onBatteryTest(15),
emergencyStaticBypass(16),
staticBypassStandby(17),
powerSavingMode(18),
spotMode(19),
eConversion(20),
chargerSpotmode(21),
inverterSpotmode(22),
activeLoad(23),
batteryDischargeSpotmode(24),
inverterStandby (25),
chargerOnly(26)" | regex_findall('(.*)\(' ~ states('sensor.smt1500i_a_status') ~'\)')  %}

{{ status[0] }}

Here I used a variable instead of the sensor.

Perfect… Both versions are working.
Thank you for support…

Hellis81 · September 6, 2022, 11:06am

I didn’t notice this before but it seems your battery is overcharged. 100000% could be dangerous

dariusz · September 6, 2022, 11:21am

Yes… Thank you for pointing… Some issue with roundings… This was next in plan to correct that.
The returned value directly from UPS is ‘1’.
Rounding - as below - is cousing to dispaly ‘100,000’.
How to have the display only ‘100’ ?

    unit_of_measurement: '%'
    value_template: ' {{((value | int) * 100) | round(0) }} '

Another way to do the same thing:

template:
  - sensor:
      - name: SMT1500I_A_status_text
        unique_id: cdc5fc01-e306-401c-8904-c177eb851790
        state: >-
          {{ [ '', 'unknown', 'onLine', 'onBattery', 'onSmartBoost', 'timedSleeping',
            'softwareBypass', 'off', 'rebooting', 'switchedBypass', 'hardwareFailureBypass',
            'sleepingUntilPowerReturn', 'onSmartTrim', 'ecoMode', 'hotStandby', 'onBatteryTest',
            'emergencyStaticBypass', 'staticBypassStandby', 'powerSavingMode', 'spotMode', 'eConversion',
            'chargerSpotmode', 'inverterSpotmode', 'activeLoad', 'batteryDischargeSpotmode', 'inverterStandby',
            'chargerOnly' ].index(states('sensor.smt1500i_a_status')) }}

dariusz · September 6, 2022, 8:23pm

My fault… The returned value is 1000, so must be divided by 10…

Then display is 100%.

dariusz · December 21, 2023, 1:32pm

Some question - what changed in SNMP integration?
I mean - suddently ‘Battery recomende replacement date’ is not displyed.
Error mesage says: ‘this entity is no longer provided in SNMP integration’.

Is that any way to improve that?

UPS battery replace date is rather important parameter…
