Hi, do you mean you would like to set the entity attribute to its state value ? If so, you need to adjust your code a little.

First, the rows entity_id: sensor.tasmota_latest_version and - latest_version: '{{(states.sensor.latest_tasmota)}}' should refer to the same sensor. tasmota_latest_version and latest_tasmota don't match, is this a typo ?

Second, the row - latest_version: '{{(states.sensor.latest_tasmota)}}' does not set the state value, but the whole state object (in json notation). You should change it to: - latest_version: '{{states.sensor.latest_tasmota.state}}' or even better: - latest_version: '{{states("sensor.latest_tasmota")}}'

Let me know if that helps.
