Some entities (containing "%" character) no longer displaying after streamdeck update to 6.1.0.18521

Hi,

All of my other entities are working but weather seems to have broken.

Streamdeck 6.1.0.18521
Firmware 1.03.000
Home Assistant Streamdeck plugin 2.2.0
Home Assistant 2023.3.3
Frontend 20230309.0 - latest

Same here. Weather and Phone Battery level dont work anymore. Anything else works (for example Battery Health)

[cgiesche]

Hmm, i can confirm. By why?!

[LuckyNils]

I found a pattern! All enteties/sensors that use "%" like battery levels of devices or humidity sensors also dont work. Seems to be related to the "%"-Sign

Well the Workaround works nicly for the Battery level with "{{state}} %" in line 3, but can somebody give me a template for the weather Button/Card(What needs to be in the curly Brackets)?

[cgiesche]

For weather, you could for example use this template:

{{state}}
{{temperature}}{{temperature_unit}} {{humidity}}%

In general, you can use any of the available attributes listed below the input field to customize your button:

It is the % that messes it up. If the {{state}} has the number portion of the title and {{unit_of_measurement}} holds the "%" sign then you need to use the formatting below to get the "%" to show up.

{{state}} {{ unit_of_measurement | urlencode }}

If you don't have {{ unit_of_measurement }} then use,

{{state}} {{ "%" | urlencode }}

Hope that helps.

I can confirm that the '%' character is maybe the issue.
Here are my cases where it doesn't work:

Problem:
All my humidity sensors are not displayed at the StreamDeck. Every other sensor works fine.
The issue is maybe the unit of measure, which is a "%" character and maybe needs to be escaped.

Example:

On the right you see the same humidity sensor as on the left, but on the left, I override the label using the "Enable custom labels" setting with the value {{state}}.

Steps to reproduce (Case 1):

1. Setup a sensor with unit_of_measurement: %
2. Try to add this sensor value with default settings to StreamDeck
3. The value is not shown

Steps to reproduce (Case 2):

1. Setup any sensor
2. Activate the setting "Enable custom labels" and enter {{'%'}} or %
3. The entered text "%" is not shown

Workaround:
Override, using cutom lablel with {{state}}{{ "%" | urlencode }}

Hey lafaro,

i wonder why i did not try this before: urlencoding the string before adding it to the svg image i am generating fixes the bug. Thanks for the hint. I will implement this so the workaround is no longer needed.
