Hi,
I have some little complex Jinja2 scripts in state template and it would be niche to write some debug output within the Jinja2 part to a log or file?
Is there any solution to get detail output whereby the trigger and template steps could monitored?

You can log whatever messages you want to the logbook (not the system log), see:

Or you can write them to a file using the file notification integration, see:

Example of use: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/file/#entries-as-csv
Within the Jinja2 code there is no possibility?
I want o return vars on certain places in the Jinja template code.
Steffen
Correct. Jinja2 returns strings, and does not have the capability to “do” anything beyond that.
