Not working anymore with 0.115.0 #44

enkama · 2020-09-17T19:27:44Z

The Variable Component is not working any longer, with the 0.115.0 Update. It's throwing out this Error:

And it doesn't have to do with the script/automation because switching back to 0.114.4 is fixing the error and its working just fine. Probably has to do with the new "Variables" component they brought out.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

I feared that, hence asked Balloob and the devs about it, see the answer home-assistant/core#39915 (comment)

supposedly another thing?

phdelodder · 2020-09-18T07:46:25Z

I have managed to get it working like this:

  - service: variable.set_variable
    data:
      variable: last_motion
      attributes_template: "{\n      \"history_1\": \"{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name|replace('motion\
        \ sensor','') }}\",\n      \"history_2\": \"{{ states.variable.last_motion.attributes.history_1\
        \ }}\",\n      \"history_3\": \"{{ states.variable.last_motion.attributes.history_2\
        \ }}\",\n      \"history_4\": \"{{ states.variable.last_motion.attributes.history_3\
        \ }}\",\n      \"history_5\": \"{{ states.variable.last_motion.attributes.history_4\
        \ }}\",\n      \"history_6\": \"{{ states.variable.last_motion.attributes.history_5\
        \ }}\",\n      \"history_7\": \"{{ states.variable.last_motion.attributes.history_6\
        \ }}\",\n      \"history_8\": \"{{ states.variable.last_motion.attributes.history_7\
        \ }}\",\n      \"history_9\": \"{{ states.variable.last_motion.attributes.history_8\
        \ }}\",\n      \"history_10\": \"{{ states.variable.last_motion.attributes.history_9\
        \ }}\"\n}\n"
    data_template:
      value: '{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name|replace(''motion sensor'','''')
        }}: {{as_timestamp(states.variable.last_motion.last_changed)| timestamp_custom(''%X'')
        }}

        '

Mariusthvdb · 2020-09-18T08:11:48Z

what exactly did you change, I hope you're not referring to all those newlines and slashes? Please explain some more what you had before and how you managed to find what was not working? thanks!

or was it merely the addition of 'states' to each line ?
compared to:

      - service: variable.set_variable
        data:
          variable: last_motion
          attributes_template: >
            {
             "history_1":"{{variable.state}}",
             "history_2":"{{variable.attributes.history_1}}",
             "history_3":"{{variable.attributes.history_2}}",
             "history_4":"{{variable.attributes.history_3}}",
             "history_5":"{{variable.attributes.history_4}}",
             "history_6":"{{variable.attributes.history_5}}",
             "history_7":"{{variable.attributes.history_6}}",
             "history_8":"{{variable.attributes.history_7}}",
             "history_9":"{{variable.attributes.history_8}}",
             "history_10":"{{variable.attributes.history_9}}"
            }
        data_template:
          value: >
            {{trigger.to_state.name|replace(' sensor motion','')}}:
            {{as_timestamp(trigger.from_state.last_changed)|timestamp_custom('%X')}}

phdelodder · 2020-09-18T10:51:57Z

It was the addition of states.variable.entity_id that solved it for me.

enkama · 2020-09-18T16:37:02Z

Yea that seems to work. Here is the code a bit more clean.

  - service: variable.set_variable
    data:
      variable: last_motion
      attributes_template: >
       {
        "history_1":"{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name|replace('Motion Sensor','') }}",
        "history_2":"{{ states.variable.last_motion.attributes.history_1}}",
        "history_3":"{{ states.variable.last_motion.attributes.history_2}}",
        "history_4":"{{ states.variable.last_motion.attributes.history_3}}",
        "history_5":"{{ states.variable.last_motion.attributes.history_4}}",
        "history_6":"{{ states.variable.last_motion.attributes.history_5}}",
        "history_7":"{{ states.variable.last_motion.attributes.history_6}}"
       }
    data_template:
      value: '{{trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name|replace(''Motion Sensor'','''')}}:{{as_timestamp(states.variable.last_motion.last_changed)| timestamp_custom(''%X'')}}'

Mariusthvdb · 2020-09-19T07:51:14Z

confirming this to work, and seems even cleaner:

      - service: variable.set_variable
        data:
          variable: last_motion
          attributes_template: >
            {
             "history_1":"{{states('variable.last_motion')}}",
             "history_2":"{{state_attr('variable.last_motion','history_1')}}",
             "history_3":"{{state_attr('variable.last_motion','history_2')}}",
             "history_4":"{{state_attr('variable.last_motion','history_3')}}",
             "history_5":"{{state_attr('variable.last_motion','history_4')}}",
             "history_6":"{{state_attr('variable.last_motion','history_5')}}",
             "history_7":"{{state_attr('variable.last_motion','history_6')}}",
             "history_8":"{{state_attr('variable.last_motion','history_7')}}",
             "history_9":"{{state_attr('variable.last_motion','history_8')}",
             "history_10":"{{state_attr('variable.last_motion','history_9')}}"
            }
        data_template:
          value: >
            {{trigger.to_state.name|replace(' sensor motion','')}}:
            {{as_timestamp(trigger.from_state.last_changed)|timestamp_custom('%X')}}

note we now need th state the full template to the variables state, where before we only needed to reference variable.attributes or variable.state.
Wonder if we even have to set the variable under the data: field (since we need to reference it completely in the attributes_template?

Also, the main default config

variable:
  last_motion:
    value: Not set
    restore: true
    attributes:
      icon: mdi:map-marker
      friendly_name: Last Motion

doesnt set the starting value to Not set, instead it reads None now.
@rogro82 is this something you can look into?
thanks!

Mariusthvdb · 2020-09-25T09:43:08Z

btw we can now (HA 115) leave out the data_template

      - service: variable.set_variable
        data:
          variable: last_motion
          attributes_template: >
            {
             "history_1":"{{states('variable.last_motion')}}",
             "history_2":"{{state_attr('variable.last_motion','history_1')}}",
             "history_3":"{{state_attr('variable.last_motion','history_2')}}",
             "history_4":"{{state_attr('variable.last_motion','history_3')}}",
             "history_5":"{{state_attr('variable.last_motion','history_4')}}",
             "history_6":"{{state_attr('variable.last_motion','history_5')}}",
             "history_7":"{{state_attr('variable.last_motion','history_6')}}",
             "history_8":"{{state_attr('variable.last_motion','history_7')}}",
             "history_9":"{{state_attr('variable.last_motion','history_8')}}",
             "history_10":"{{state_attr('variable.last_motion','history_9')}}"
            }
#        data_template:
          value: >
            {{trigger.to_state.name|replace(' sensor motion','')}}:
            {{as_timestamp(trigger.from_state.last_changed)|timestamp_custom('%X')}}

Guys many thanks. Working again!

skynet01 · 2020-12-14T18:33:54Z

This stopped working again after the latest 2020.12.0 update. I am getting the
template value should be a string for dictionary value @ data['attributes_template']
Any suggestions on how to fix?

enkama · 2020-12-14T19:18:19Z

Yea, its definetly still working for me on 2020.12.0. Show your config?

Mariusthvdb · 2020-12-14T21:56:23Z

not weird, have a look at: #47

skynet01 · 2020-12-14T22:29:06Z

That fixed it, thanks for pointing me in the right direction :)
