Template rendering warnings in latest Home Assistant beta for dictionary missing attribute #6987

mdegat01 · 2021-04-07T14:57:15Z

What happened

Starting in Home Assistant 2021.4.0 templates referencing an attribute of a dictionary which does not exist generate a warnings like this:

2021-04-07 15:05:31 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.helpers.template] Template variable warning: 'dict object' has no attribute 'action' when rendering '{{ value_json.action }}'

I traced these errors back to the source and its a result of the discovery payload sent by Z2M to Home Assistant. The discovery payload sends this as the template to use to parse the value for a sensor out of the JSON payload:

value_template: '{{ value_json.action }}'

For devices which don't report all their attributes all the time (ex. remotes that report an action on button press) this creates a problem. Anytime a payload is received without the attribute a warning is created. This warning will become an error and a failure starting in 2021.10 (see home-assistant/core#48140 )

Fortunately there appears to be a relatively easy fix. If the discovery template is changed to this then all the errors should go away:

{{ value_json.action | default('', true) }}

It's a bit strange to always default to '' even for numeric attributes but this is what was occurring before. Returning None as the default also works and does not generate a warning (I tested). That might be more correct but not sure if that has any other consequences downstream. The true is so it only appllies the default if things truly don't exist and not just if they evaluate to false (see default).

What did you expect to happen

Not to see a warning for attribute did not exist

How to reproduce it (minimal and precise)

The error above is showing what can occur if you have a remote type device such as Philips 929002398602 that checks in all the time with basic attributes like battery and linkquality and includes an action on button press. You can also create an error like this with any device by doing the following:

Proceed with Home Assistant discovery for the device
Use filtered_attributes to tell Z2M to stop reporting one or more attributes
See you get warnings for the sensors trying to read an attribute that is no longer being reported in

This creates errors like this:

2021-04-06 21:24:44 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.helpers.template] Template variable warning: dict object has no attribute voltage

I realize in this particular use case the right fix is just to disable the sensor in Home Assistant (which is what I did). But I don't know all the devices that report some attributes occaisionally, figured it would be good to have a way to simulate that with any device.

Debug info

Zigbee2MQTT version: 1.18.2

Made one already actually, its linked above (#6988 ). I don't really see why it wouldn't, the PR is just changing how the state of the sensor gets set somewhat to prevent errors. That type of trigger is just looking for state change events so its downstream of that part.

I don't have an easy way to do a mock test of a dev build of Z2M unfortunately since I don't have the spare devices I would need. Later I can try faking it directly using MQTT if need be though. Send discovery messages identical to what Z2M sends and then fake state change events. Will have to do some digging to come up with the mocks though.

1igeza · 2021-04-08T13:55:44Z

I'm using on device like motion sensors, door sensors

    filtered_attributes:
      - temperature

and have the same error. If I disable in HA entity sensor "temperature" in those devices, then there is no error. So I think the problem is sending to HA information for blocked sensors for example:
{"availability":[{"topic":"zigbee2mqtt/bridge/state"},{"topic":"zigbee2mqtt/Rafal Czujnik Ruchu/availability"}],"device":{"identifiers":["zigbee2mqtt_0x00158d000302fd05"],"manufacturer":"Xiaomi","model":"Aqara human body movement and illuminance sensor (RTCGQ11LM)","name":"Rafal Czujnik Ruchu","sw_version":"Zigbee2MQTT 1.18.2-dev"},"device_class":"temperature","json_attributes_topic":"zigbee2mqtt/Rafal Czujnik Ruchu","name":"Rafal Czujnik Ruchu temperature","state_topic":"zigbee2mqtt/Rafal Czujnik Ruchu","unique_id":"0x00158d000302fd05_temperature_zigbee2mqtt","unit_of_measurement":"°C","value_template":"{{ value_json.temperature }}"}

McGiverGim · 2021-04-08T14:15:54Z

It seems is being produced by some attributes that for some reason "don't have value". For example, a Xiaomi relay:

Template variable warning: 'dict object' has no attribute 'interlock' when rendering '{{ value_json.interlock }}'

If I press false in the UI, then it has a value and the error disappears from logs.

For others is not as easy, a vibration sensor:

Template variable warning: 'dict object' has no attribute 'action' when rendering '{{ value_json.action }}'

Mr-Groch · 2021-04-09T07:20:06Z

There is also problem with Neo NAS-AB02B0 Siren Alarm:

Template variable warning: 'dict object' has no attribute 'duration' when rendering '{{ value_json.duration }}'
Template variable warning: 'dict object' has no attribute 'temperature_min' when rendering '{{ value_json.temperature_min }}'
Template variable warning: 'dict object' has no attribute 'temperature_max' when rendering '{{ value_json.temperature_max }}'
Template variable warning: 'dict object' has no attribute 'humidity_min' when rendering '{{ value_json.humidity_min }}'
Template variable warning: 'dict object' has no attribute 'humidity_max' when rendering '{{ value_json.humidity_max }}'

I'm using autodiscovery, default setup, nothing custom with that device... Also can't set exposed values....

Fixed now in the dev branch

@Koenkk ; Can't seem to find how often you make official release. in other words; When will this issue also be available in the stable branch? So I can benefit from it in my HA installation.

mdegat01 · 2021-04-15T23:50:31Z

If you look in the releases list for this repo there's a new minor release on the first of the month every month for the past 6 months like clockwork. So I would guess May 1st unless Koenkk decides this issue or some other recent issue is serious enough to warrant a patch.

Koenkk · 2021-04-17T12:36:44Z

Next release will be 1 may indeed.

Hello,

i'm running dev version and still get this kind of warnings in HA, i think for my Tuya/Moes thermostats:

@Koenkk Any chance to fix that? Or should i open new issue? :)

Koenkk · 2021-04-23T17:59:01Z

@jacekpaszkowski can you try changing

zigbee2mqtt/lib/extension/homeassistant.js

Line 182 in abd8a09

` %}{{ values[value_json.${state.property}] }}`;

with %}{{ values[value_json.${state.property}] | default('idle', true) }}\;

jacekpaszkowski · 2021-04-25T19:38:41Z

@Koenkk i'm running zigbee2mqtt as HA add-on, i don't know how to change this file :(

Koenkk · 2021-04-26T09:21:02Z

SSH into your machine, go into docker container by executing docker exec -it CONTAINER_ID /bin/bash, nano lib/extension/homeassistant.js, change line, exit container and restart z2m with docker restart CONTAINER_ID.

kaykoch · 2021-04-26T10:51:06Z

If I understand well, this will be fixed on may.
I added:

logger:

in configuration.yaml (In Home Assistant).

hello @Koenkk

SSH into your machine, go into docker container by executing docker exec -it CONTAINER_ID /bin/bash, nano lib/extension/homeassistant.js, change line, exit container and restart z2m with docker restart CONTAINER_ID.

in edge version z2m nano not work, only vi and i have homeassistant.js in ./app/lib/extension/ and line is 193
It's ok?

Koenkk · 2021-04-30T14:15:39Z

@playersct due to code changes line numbers may vary, but there is only one occurrence of " %}{{ values[value_json.${state.property}] }}"

Nephiel · 2021-05-17T18:00:20Z

Nevermind, it turns out I had another Z2M instance connected to the same Mosquitto server, and that one was not updated to 1.18.3, hence the click and action errors.

The only one I still have is update_available:

Template variable warning: 'dict object' has no attribute 'update_available' when rendering '{{ value_json.update_available}}'

I think it is related to OSRAM plugs and bulbs.

If you are seeing this error that means you have a sensor in HA created by Z2M for a device. However that device is not providing any data for that particular sensor.

If you're OK with the sensor having status unknown because you don't care about it then there's a very simple solution - disable the sensor in HA. It will then stop trying to parse the json looking for data which does not exist and reporting unknown for a sensor you don't care about.

If you do care about this sensor because perhaps it is not unknown all the time and reports an actual value occasionally then please provide more info. For example, what device is it and what causes it to report in an actual value for that particular attribute?

This warning (not error) is designed to alert you to issues already occurring that you didn't know about. Like having a sensor which always has value unknown. But there are tons of supported devices in Z2M so if one type is behaving badly under these changes please provide that info in order to get it addressed.

SaturnusDJ · 2021-06-25T15:33:52Z

Got this issue. Error: Template variable warning: 'dict object' has no attribute 'action' when rendering '{{ value_json.action }}'
Relevant devices: WXKG11LM and MFKZQ01LM.
Z2M: 1.19.1 (restarted)
HA: 2021.5.5 (restarted)
Mosquitto: 1.6.14 (restarted)

Possible relevant Z2M configuration options:

advanced:
  homeassistant_legacy_triggers: false
#  legacy_api: false
device_options:
  legacy: false

Need the legacy api for https://github.com/rgruebel/ha_zigbee2mqtt_networkmap
But it looked like disabling it did not make a difference anyways.

HA MQTT entity:

  - platform: "mqtt"
    name: "Button hallway"
    state_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/button_hallway"
    availability_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/bridge/state"
    value_template: "{{ value_json.action }}"
    json_attributes_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/button_hallway"

This is not used in automation because it cannot trigger when the previous action occurs again (e.g. pressing a button a single time, then another single click, the last single click does not trigger). I use it to log the button usage to InfluxDB.

HA automation:

- alias: Button hallway single click > Hallway lamp on 5 min
  mode: restart
  trigger:
  - platform: mqtt
    topic: zigbee2mqtt/button_hallway
  condition:
  - "{{ trigger.payload_json.action == 'single' }}"

This triggers on any incoming message, even if it is the same as the previous one.

Looking at the error I think it relates to the 'HA MQTT entity' part. In MQTT Explorer I see the action attribute is only supplied when a user uses the button. I thought the Z2M code changes should result in the action attributes to be present always, so that the workaround on HA side (topic start) is not needed anymore, or am I wrong?

Bojan023 · 2021-07-07T15:05:58Z

@jacekpaszkowski can you try changing

zigbee2mqtt/lib/extension/homeassistant.js

Line 182 in abd8a09

` %}{{ values[value_json.${state.property}] }}`;

with ` %}{{ values[value_json.${state.property}] | default('idle', true) }}\`;

Have tested this. This removed the error from HA. PR coming

dylan09 · 2021-07-20T18:51:46Z

Hello,

I discovered this error/message with the latest Zigbee2MQTT version 1.20.0 (commit #41b67fd).
Device is a Danfoss Ally eTRV0100 Modell 014G2461

Z2M Logs show following message:

2021-07-20 20:47:21 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.helpers.template] Template variable warning: 'dict object' has no attribute 'system_mode' when rendering '{{ value_json.system_mode }}'
2021-07-20 20:47:21 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.mqtt.climate] Invalid modes mode:

And every time I set the operation mode to "Heat" in Home Assistant, it will be reset to nothing after a short while.

What could I do to get rid off this log messages?

dylan09 · 2021-07-26T19:07:57Z

Maybe anyone could help me with my above problem?
I have deleted the device from zigbee2mqtt and from Home Assistant. After pairing device again error still persists.
Tried legacy=false and legacy=true. Nothing changed. Get the above log message every few seconds.

Is there a fix I could add to lib/extension/homeassistant.js?

And here published topic as it is logged by zigbee2mqtt:

I too was also to resolve these same warnings by following the above suggestion.

Warning message:

[homeassistant.helpers.template] Template variable warning: 'dict object' has no attribute 'action' when rendering '{{ value_json.action }}'

Resolved by modifying zigbee2mqtt/lib/extension/homeassistant.js and replacing the line:

` %}{{ values[value_json.${state.property}] }}`;

with

` %}{{ values[value_json.${state.property}] | default('idle', true) }}\`;

Thanks for everyone's posts in this issue

also for the above attributes I get the dict error:

Error parsing value: access to attribute 'update' of 'dict' object is unsafe.

probably the same error here with a new added Sinterwell GS361A-H04 in Homeassistant:

After connection Home Assistant shows some errors:
Invalid ['off', 'heating', 'cooling', 'drying', 'idle', 'fan'] action: None
also

Template variable warning: 'dict object' has no attribute 'local_temperature' when rendering '{{ value_json.local_temperature }}'
Template variable warning: 'dict object' has no attribute 'current_heating_setpoint' when rendering '{{ value_json.current_heating_setpoint }}'

and mqtt shows the error
Could not parse temperature from
later

Template variable error: 'value_json' is undefined when rendering '{{ value_json.window_detection }}'
Template variable error: 'value_json' is undefined when rendering '{{ value_json.valve_detection }}'
Template variable error: 'value_json' is undefined when rendering '{{ value_json.local_temperature }}'
Template variable error: 'value_json' is undefined when rendering '{{ value_json.current_heating_setpoint }}'
Template variable error: 'value_json' is undefined when rendering '{{ value_json.system_mode }}'

and

Error parsing value: 'value_json' is undefined (value: , template: {{ value_json.window_detection }})
Error parsing value: 'value_json' is undefined (value: , template: {{ value_json.valve_detection }})
Error parsing value: 'value_json' is undefined (value: , template: {{ value_json.local_temperature }})

what did i do wrong?

I'm still getting these warnings on HA startup.
