if I Change my config as below

[iantrich]

You're putting the full state and attributes of the sensor into the entity field. So unless you are planning on using the state object later on, I would change it to:

variables:
  - sensor.user_10

If you are planning on using the state object later, you want to use the entity_id i.e.

'${vars[0].entity_id}'

[sresam89]

That still did not help Could you help with the full config?

1. This is not an issue for Github. This question is supposed to be asked in the Community forum first since there are errors in the code.

2. Whenever you post a code, use special tags - then people can copy-paste your example for testing, and in the 1st post you pasted the code without these tags, it is formatted in a wrong way. Also, do not post a code as a picture. Next time people will simply ignore these issues.

3. There are examples below with working code:

   type: vertical-stack
   cards:
   - type: custom:config-template-card
   variables:
     - states['sun.sun']
   entities:
     - ${vars[0].entity_id}
   card:
     type: entity
     entity: ${vars[0].entity_id}
   - type: custom:config-template-card
   variables:
     - '''sun.sun'''
   entities:
     - ${vars[0]}
   card:
     type: entity
     entity: ${vars[0]}
   - type: custom:config-template-card
   variables:
     - '"sun.sun"'
   entities:
     - ${vars[0]}
   card:
     type: entity
     entity: ${vars[0]}
