Current- and Set- temperature in Sensor entity

[jdschuitemaker]

I am using the graph card on my dashboard for showing temperatures on the different floors in my house. Just the room temperature, which is provided through a climate-entity, cannot be used in the graph-card because it does not support the climate entity.

Would it be possible to move (or add), the temperature to a sensor-entity instead. This would make my temperature dashboard more consistent.

I have the same "problem"

[dimitribo]

And also want to see the same. In sensor values te current and set temperature.
I have Remeha E-twist working on it at the moment.

Find it ;)
At this in the configuration.yaml

sensor:

• platform: template
  sensors:
  temperature:
  friendly_name: "your current temp"
  unit_of_measurement: '°c'
  value_template: "{{ state_attr('climate.bdr_thermostat', 'current_temperature') }}"
  temperature_set:
  friendly_name: "your current set temp"
  unit_of_measurement: '°c'
  value_template: "{{ state_attr('climate.bdr_thermostat', 'temperature') }}"

@dimitribo, that doesn't work for me. Something of your example is not correct (I think something went wrong with copy/paste), I changed it to this:

sensor:
  - platform: template
    temperature:
    friendly_name: "your current temp"
    unit_of_measurement: '°c'
    value_template: "{{ state_attr('climate.bdr_thermostat', 'current_temperature') }}"
    temperature_set:

Then I see the following error when I verify the configuration in Developer tools -> Check and restart:

Invalid config for [sensor.template]: [temperature] is an invalid option for [sensor.template]. Check: sensor.template->temperature. (See ?, line ?).

Do you know what is wrong? Thank you in advance!

Hello,

As I can see, you didn't do a good copy i think...
You code is not the same like my code.
Can you retry please ?

[jdschuitemaker]

I appreciate your reply!

Something goes wrong with formatting when I use your code, I think.

sensor:
    platform: template
    sensors:
    temperature:
    friendly_name: "your current temp"
    unit_of_measurement: '°c'
    value_template: "{{ state_attr('climate.bdr_thermostat', 'current_temperature') }}"
    temperature_set:
    friendly_name: "your current set temp"
    unit_of_measurement: '°c'
    value_template: "{{ state_attr('climate.bdr_thermostat', 'temperature') }}"

When I use that in my configuration.yaml I get a warning from the editor:

duplicated mapping key (75:5)

 72 |     unit_of_measurement: '°c'
 73 |     value_template: "{{ state_attr( ...

Hello,

This is really my code ... see the image:

Duplicated mapping key in the error for you ? Is the entitie already in use for you ?

[jdschuitemaker]

Thank you for that, that seems to have helped to solve it. It was purely formatting (indention)

Could you also change the desired temperature now? When do I have to paste your code?

[jdschuitemaker]

I have not tried that, but I am using the temperature gauge that comes with the integration for that.

It seems that he update rate of the current temperature is not really high, the graph is therefore not very smooth when the temp changes. Could also be that the temperature that the e-twist is measuring or providing is providing only full or half degrees (20.0, 20.5, 21.0) and not 20.5, 20.4, 20.3.

Edit: I found that the reading interval is once every 10 minutes. See sensor.py

SCAN_INTERVAL = timedelta(minutes=10)

[TWilhoWI]

How do I enable the temperatur gauge? I didn't find it?

[jdschuitemaker]

The documentation explains how to do that: https://github.com/freitdav/BDRthermostatHA

Correct but for me the integration doesn't create a climate entity for some reason

[jdschuitemaker]

Not sure if I am able to help you then. Maybe remove the integration and try again?

Tried it, didn't work unfortunately
