I cant belive it, but it doesn’t work anymore and i dont know why
could you help me a last time @tom_l ?

I’m surprised the template integration ever loaded. You still have not followed the example here: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template/#trigger-based-template-binary-sensors-buttons-numbers-selects-and-sensors

Try this:

template:
  - trigger:
      - platform: event
        event_type: "doorbird_turstation_klingelt"

    binary_sensor: # this needs to be associated with the trigger, so no "-"
      - name: doorbell_is_ringing
        state: on
        auto_off: "00:00:30"
        device_class: occupancy

      - name: lichtschalter_eingang
        state: "off"
        device_class: light

  - sensor:
      - name: "Justiert"
        unit_of_measurement: "W"
        state_class: measurement
        device_class: power
        state: "{{ states('sensor.sensor.tasmota_energy_power')|float(0) - 8 }}"
        availability: "{{ states('sensor.sensor.tasmota_energy_power')|is_number }}"

but my sensor show not available again,
the tasmota works, on the dev tools i see correct values…
since last time i tried to modified the configuration yaml to make sure everything is right, it shows ‘not available’…
so terrible

tom_l · February 22, 2023, 7:38am

go to Settings → Logs, what errors do you see?

mabye this ?

is this enough?

Share your configuration as it is now.

@tom_l sorry for this trouble
but i really don’t understand the concept, don’t know why it is for me so complicated and thanks for spending time to solve my issue

@tom_l i have no idea which line is corrupted… i tried to move lines but nothing worked, maybe useful move from template to new convention?

helming · March 24, 2023, 11:46am

@tom_l please can you help me? last time

tom_l · March 24, 2023, 12:11pm

Go to Developer Tools → Statistics and click on the FIX ISSUE buttons and confirm you wan to fix them.

This can’t be so hard to create virtual meter to HA. Over ten years ago with Zipato it took only few clicks, and now i have to write some code? It is not possible…
I have consumption meter in one phase of 3-phase device, and i’d like to create virtual meter, which counts that one-phase value x3. Now it seems need lot of work.

tom_l · April 25, 2024, 2:35am

You are posting on a year old topic. A lot has changed since then.

This can now be done from the UI. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template/#ui-configuration

jkirjo · April 26, 2024, 12:07am

Yeh, there is. But why it is still very difficult and complicated? Right away from start there is second instance, which is unbelievable unintuitive. What the heck i should put in this…?
Someone can’t see, that world is full of peoples, who has never heard anything from yaml-code, or its correct syntax.
I solved it, but not easily.

tom_l · April 26, 2024, 1:08am

Home automation is complex.

You’ve only been on the forum 2 months. Give it time you’ll get better at it.

jkirjo · April 26, 2024, 9:48pm

Trying to learn every day. Can’t avoid to compare to previous platform, which was in so different level in easiness. But this is very powerful platform, when get sense of it. In my age (60+) it is not so quick anymore.

Seen that already yes, but i have to cut info to smaller parts, too much english reading. I need first get a target, and then dig out the info for it piece by piece. But thanks anyway.
