Issues after update to 2024.9 even with v2.2.0 - Template error: float got invalid input 'unavailable' when rendering template

[f45tb00t]

Hi,

first of all: Thank you for this great work. This integration is pretty much AWESOME! :)

Since my update yesterday to the HA version 2023.12.0 I have several issues in the logs and the integration cannot be loaded. I did not have time to investigate more the issue, was on a business trip and just came back - sorry for that.
But maybe you have an idea what it could be.

Hi, you need to update to 2.2.0

[f45tb00t]

Hi,

as mentioned in the subject I upgraded already to v2.2.0?

What I did to update. Download, extracted and moved the files and folders to ~/.homeassistant/custom_components/thermal_comfort

[rautesamtr]

So you just extracted the new files over the old ones?
Then delete config.py from the thermal_comfort folder, it's a left over from the previous version.
Or better, always delete the old thermal_comfort before extracting the new one.

This indicates the leftover:

2023-12-07 16:09:14.021 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config] Error importing config platform thermal_comfort: cannot import name 'async_log_exception' from 'homeassistant.config' (/srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.11/site-packages/homeassistant/config.py)

The template errors are just there because thermal_comfort isn't loaded because of the config.py error so your templates aren't working.

Or better, always delete the old thermal_comfort before extracting the new one.

Hi,

I did it this way now. Issue solved. Thanks a lot! :)

[f45tb00t]

Hi,

it seems the issue came up again.

homeassistant.exceptions.TemplateError: ValueError: Template error: float got invalid input 'unknown' when rendering template '{{ ( float(states('sensor.thermal_comfort_garage_absolute_luftfeuchtigkeit')) - float(states('sensor.thermal_comfort_draussen_absolute_humidity')) ) | float | round (2) }}' but no default was specified

[f45tb00t]

Any direction please to fix this issue?

[DenisLanz]

I've stumbled over the same issue, that I'm unable to utilize the sensor data in an automation. The return value can't be handled:

Template error: float got /alid input 'unknown' when rendering template 'K (float(states('sensor.tc_office_absolute_humidity')) - float(states('sensor.tc_outside_absolute_humidity'))) | float | round (2) }}' but no default was specified')

[f45tb00t]

@rautesamtr @dolezsa Any advise how we can fix that?

[DenisLanz]

Still struggling to use thermal comfort for automations. Can we somehow support to debug and resolve this?
