Template not working properly

[edwork]

Hello,

@Miablo did an amazing job re-working the markdown card template - take a look at the new template in the development branch. I'll merge it into the main branch soon, I just need to adjust the instructions and generalize the usernames.

Hello! Thanks for reporting this issue.

The problem is that a few versions ago there was a single sensor with many state attributes and now there are many sensors with those same attributes broken out into individual sensors. This is the method the core HASS project would like integrations to follow.

Anyway - this not only breaks this card which is referencing state attributes, it's further broken because certain attributes are no longer being reported.

This can all be fixed but it's just slightly more complicated than finding/replacing names. I'll rework this soon and try to add back to the main sensor list the items that are missing.

Thanks!
Ed

@kylewilliams321 did you ever sort out an updated yaml/template for the new sensors?

[Cassock]

Thanks, @edwork and @Miablo. That's the template that I'm using (with updated user/sensor names), but it's only showing the title with no data. The sensors appear to be working fine in ha/developer-tools/state, though 🤷

@Cassock Can you add your code or a screenshot of it to the post so I can take a look?

Can you try this to see if it renders correctly: https://hastebin.com/share/ibenupuvoh.bash - that should have your username added for the sensor

It doesn't :( No errors on the lovelace editor, but putting it into the dev tools template editor results in this:

[edwork]

Markdown with markup tags won't render in the template dev tools, that's working as intended. The first example provided seems to have stripped out the markup tags possibly breaking the card's formatting.

Can you create a new markdown card, add the text, and force refresh (shift+refresh) the page? In my testing client side caching was causing some errors when I first began testing the card.

[Cassock]

Yeah I tried that first before going to dev tools. Here's what it looks like (even after hard refreshes):

And just to confirm, it appears I do have working sensors (I assume all of the unknown values correspond to active ride data)

[edwork]

There's something wrong with the copy-pasta that happens either in or out of GitHub, I'll work it out but for now try out this example.

Spent a few more minutes on this today and it looks like something on the Latest Workout Metrics markdown is what's preventing the whole card from showing. If I delete that section, the rest of the data shows up as expected:

I did notice the problem occurs when for example my Cadence sensor is Home Assistant is displaying unknown. Is goes to unknown when I am not biking. During a ride is works as there is data, and the template works fine.

So I think we need a way to keep the latest sensor value for those sensor that go to unknown when not riding or when switching to a tread.

That goes for the Active Calories, Cadence, Resistance and Speed sensors, 10 total.

Or a change in the template ??
