New install loads with error but no idea how to resolve

[jata1]

Thanks for sharing this project. I am using it to learn more about HA.

Installed and I have the Quick Look Mobile dashboard in my side bar but this is what it looks like.

Not sure what to do...

Hi jata1,

It seems that Home Assistant is having trouble accessing the template sensors files within entities/sensors/.

The most likely explanation is that the 'sensor:' integration in your configuration.yaml file already includes some other sensors and do not accept "!include_dir_list entities/sensors/".

In your case, you can simply add those templates directly into your "configuration.yaml" file replacing :

sensor: !include_dir_list entities/sensors/

by

sensor: 
  - platform: template
    sensors: 
      some_alarms_are_on:
        friendly_name: "Some Alarms Are On"
        value_template: >-
          {% set entity_ids = [
            'alarm_control_panel.your_entity'
            ] %}

          {% set count = namespace(value=0) %}

          {% for entity_id in entity_ids %}
            {% if is_state(entity_id, 'triggered') or is_state(entity_id, 'pending') %}
              {% set count.value = count.value + 1 %}
            {% endif %}
          {% endfor %}

          {{ 'off' if count.value == 0 else 'on' }}

Then replace every "your_entity", add some more or delete those you don't need

Hope this resolves your issue. Don't hesitate to reach out if you encounter any further problems.

Thanks @neilimixamo. That worked. Quite a lot still to do to get this all configured.
