  • 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
    


  • I think Studio Code Server is a linter. It’s telling me what the syntax problems are - I just don’t know how to fix them. Now that I removed the hypehn, it’s not telling me there are any spacing/formatting issues. But it currently says I’m missing the “entities” and “platform” properties, but I don’t know what the values should be. And It also says “state” is not an allowed property, but that’s the property that holds all the important stuff about this sensor - so how can I remove it?



  • Thanks for the suggsetion @Matt The Horwood.

    It looks like a “Combine the state of several sensors” or a “Group” helper only allow you to combine sensors of the same type.

    I created a binary sensor from a template using the helper, but it also returns “‘binary_sensor’ is undefined” when I try to access its value in the template editor with {{ states(binary_sensor.lounge_presence) }}







  • I have a similar setup. I use d.rymcg.tech (a configuration manager for Docker, as well as a collection of open source web services and config templates) and have Traefik (reverse proxy) on a Digital Ocean dropet connected to a VM in my home lab through wireguard. This framework allows me to put authentication and authoriation in front of any apps/services I’m hosting (HTTP basic auth, oauth2, mTLS). This setup allows me to control what is allowed access from outside of my home, without opening any ports.
