Display sensor in extra data template

[laurentdinclaux]

Another fail (the badge shows properly, not the extra_data)

sensor.home_battery_load_watts:
            friendly_name: test
            extra_data_template: >
                ${attributes.amps + 'A'}
            extra_badge:
                entity_id: sensor.whizbangjr_amps  # Will take precedence over attribute and unit below.
                attribute: amps
                unit: A
                blacklist_states: 0

Those are JavaScript templates evaluated in your browser, not Jinja2 templates which are evaluated server-side and use a different syntax.

I added a clarification to the docs about this.

${attributes.amps + 'A'} should work however.

I just tested the following and it worked:

    light.study_lights:
      friendly_name: Light stretch-slider break-slider-toggle
      state_card_mode: break-slider-toggle
      stretch_slider: true
      amps: 11
      extra_data_template: >
        ${attributes.amps + 'A'}

extra_data_template: >
                return 'test';

worked fine too.

To make sure last version is loaded properly - open your browser's dev panel (Ctrl+shift+I or F12 on Chrome) - the CustomUI version should be printed in the console.

I'd rather display the sensor ( states.sensor.whizbangjr_amps.state ) data directly without having to use an extra badge or a static attribute. Is that possible ?

I tried to "console.log" the entities object but it doesn't seem to do anything.

extra_data_template: >
                console.log(entities); return 'test';

I found my way:

extra_data_template: >
                return entities["sensor.whizbangjr_amps"].state + "A";
