Hi.
This works fine in the template editor:
{% if states('sensor.apollo_mtr_1_cca750_presence_target_count') | int > 0 %}
Detected
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.apollo_msr_2_c7bfe8_radar_zone_1_occupancy', 'on') %}
Detected
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.apollo_msr_2_c7bfe8_radar_zone_2_occupancy', 'on') %}
Detected
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.apollo_msr_2_c7bfe8_radar_zone_3_occupancy', 'on') %}
Detected
{% else %}
Not Detected
{% endif %}
But when I try to create a binary_sensory from it in configuration.yaml, I get “‘binary_sensor’ is undefined”:
template:
- binary_sensor:
- name: "Lounge Presence"
state: >-
{% if states('sensor.apollo_mtr_1_cca750_presence_target_count') | int > 0 %}
Detected
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.apollo_msr_2_c7bfe8_radar_zone_1_occupancy', 'on') %}
Detected
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.apollo_msr_2_c7bfe8_radar_zone_2_occupancy', 'on') %}
Detected
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.apollo_msr_2_c7bfe8_radar_zone_3_occupancy', 'on') %}
Detected
{% else %}
Not Detected
{% endif %}
device_class: presence
I’m probably using incorrect syntax or something. Can anyone help me with this?
You are viewing a single thread.
View all comments I found the solution. configuration.yaml needed to have the following syntax, with the defined values being true or false (instead of “Detected” or “Not Detected”):
template:
- binary_sensor:
- name: "Lounge Presence"
state: >-
{% if states('sensor.apollo_mtr_1_cca750_presence_target_count') | int > 0 %}
true
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.apollo_msr_2_c7bfe8_radar_zone_1_occupancy', 'on') %}
true
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.apollo_msr_2_c7bfe8_radar_zone_2_occupancy', 'on') %}
true
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.apollo_msr_2_c7bfe8_radar_zone_3_occupancy', 'on') %}
true
{% else %}
false
{% endif %}
device_class: presence
