Can´t apply custom x y values to plotly chart

[falkio8]

I try to display custom x and y values by a plotly graph. The values are stored as attributes in a sensor:

template tester delivers the correct string:

They are stored in attributes because of the 256bit limitation of sensor values.

When I manually apply the values to the plotly graph it works:

entity: ‘’
name: test
line:
shape: spline
color: white
x: [-20, -19, -18, -17, -16, -15, -14, -13, -12, -11, -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20]
‘y’: [55, 55, 55, 55, 55, 55, 55, 55, 55, 55, 55, 55, 55, 55, 55, 55, 54.24, 53.21, 52.16, 51.09, 50, 48.89, 47.76, 46.61, 45.44, 44.25, 43.04, 41.81, 40.56, 39.29, 38, 36.69, 35.36, 34.01, 32.64, 31.25, 29.84, 28.41, 26.96, 25.49, 24]

but trying to access the attributes and hand them over to the entity does result in an empty chart. What I tried so far:

    x: >
      {{ states['sensor.trovis_regler_vorlaufkurve'].attributes.y_werte
      }}

or

x: "[[[ return states['sensor.trovis_regler_vorlaufkurve'].attributes.x_werte; ]]]"
'y': "[[[ return states['sensor.trovis_regler_vorlaufkurve'].attributes.y_werte; ]]]"

or

x: |-
  [[[
    return states['sensor.trovis_regler_vorlaufkurve'].attributes.x_werte;
  ]]]
'y': |-
  [[[
    return states['sensor.trovis_regler_vorlaufkurve'].attributes.y_werte;
  ]]]

I don´t get why plotly is not able to “read” the applied values. For the last option I know that this works for another guy! Appreciate any help!

Double curly braces templating is not available in the configuration of cards, and triple square brackets are another syntax that requires an extra templating extension.

In this card there's no templating, there are JavaScript functions instead.

Try with this instead:

x: |
   $ex hass.states['sensor.trovis_regler_vorlaufkurve'].attributes.x_werte
y: |
   $ex hass.states['sensor.trovis_regler_vorlaufkurve'].attributes.y_werte

OMG tinkering for 3 days and now it works, thank you!

Great!
Try out the yaml editor linked in the readme.
It won't fix JavaScript, but would have told you something was wrong with what you tried
