Template loop detected

[hauseroliver]

Thanks for the great work! Your configuration works great, but sometimes i get the following error in HA logs:

2023-12-28 08:19:05.687 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.template.template_entity] Template loop detected while processing event: <Event state_changed[L]: entity_id=sensor.e3dc_battery_charge_power, old_state=<state sensor.e3dc_battery_charge_power=39.0; unit_of_measurement=W, device_class=power, friendly_name=E3DC Battery Charging Power @ 2023-12-28T08:19:05.598125+01:00>, new_state=<state sensor.e3dc_battery_charge_power=36.0; unit_of_measurement=W, device_class=power, friendly_name=E3DC Battery Charging Power @ 2023-12-28T08:19:05.608402+01:00>>, skipping template render for Template[{% set power = states('sensor.e3dc_battery_power') | float(0) %} {% if power >= 0 %}

{{ charge_power if charge_power > 0 else 0 }}
{% endif %}]

Any idea?

Hello!

Thanks for the report!

Yes, I have an idea. Please replace the following in the sensors.yaml. But make sure that the indentations are correct. Would be nice if you could give me some feedback.

      e3dc_battery_charge_power:
         unique_id: e3dc_battery_charge_power
         friendly_name: E3DC Battery Charging Power
         unit_of_measurement: W
         device_class: power
         value_template: >
           {% set power = states('sensor.e3dc_battery_power') | float(0) %}
           {% if power >= 0 %}
             {{ power }}
           {% else %}
             {% set charge_power = states('sensor.e3dc_battery_charge_power') | float(0) %}
             {% if charge_power + power > 0 %}
               {{ charge_power + power }}
             {% else %}
               0
             {% endif %}
           {% endif %}

Please do not forget to reload the config.

Ok Sorry,

try this:

        e3dc_battery_charge_power:
          unique_id: e3dc_battery_charge_power
          friendly_name: E3DC Battery Charging Power
          unit_of_measurement: W
          device_class: power
          value_template: >
            {% set power = states('sensor.e3dc_battery_power') | float(0) %}
            {% set charge_power = states('sensor.e3dc_battery_charge_power') | float(0) %}
            
            {% if power >= 0 %}
              {{ power }}
            {% else %}
              {% set total_power = charge_power + power %}
              {{ total_power if total_power > 0 else 0 }}
            {% endif %}

Thank you, tried it but again:
