Can values with decimals be rounded?

[Yllelder]

The Darksky component shows the temperature values with decimals, and I personally don't need so much precision. It would be more aesthetic if the values were integers.

Is there a template or a way to round the values with decimals?

I autorespond.

I didn't know you could create your own sensors from templates.

I have created 3 new sensors with templates that round off the values to integers. That's how it looks:

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      rounded_temp:
        value_template: "{{ states('sensor.dark_sky_temperature') | round(0) }}"
        device_class: temperature
      max_rounded_temp:
        value_template: "{{ states('sensor.dark_sky_daytime_high_temperature_0d') | round(0) }}"
        device_class: temperature
      min_rounded_temp:
        value_template: "{{ states('sensor.dark_sky_overnight_low_temperature_0d') | round(0) }}"
        device_class: temperature

The sensors are now available as

• sensor.rounded_temp
• sensor.max_rounded_temp
• sensor.min_rounded_temp

and can now be used like any other sensor, providing the temperature already rounded.

I hope this can help someone ;)

Nice solution @Yllelder , thanks for sharing!

@Yllelder Thanks, but maybe a noob question here. Where do you exactly put this code?

You can use this code in the configuration.yaml file.

This will create 3 new sensors (sensor.rounded_temp, sensor.max_rounded_temp, sensor.min_rounded_temp) that you can use anywhere in the interface.
