wind direction

[orchid prism]

my wind direction codes in numbers instead of direction any way to change that any help is much appreciated

[frank vector]

Please post what you've tried and your existing sensors. Also post information about what you'd expect each degree to be

i have zero idea

With a routine like this, it's better to turn to LLM.
{%- set degrees = states('sensor.your_wind_bearing') | float(0) -%}
{%- set directions = ["N", "NNE", "NE", "ENE", "E", "ESE", "SE", "SSE", "S", "SSW", "SW", "WSW", "W", "WNW", "NW", "NNW"] -%}
{%- if degrees < 0 or degrees > 360 -%}
Invalid value
{%- else -%}
{%- set index = ((degrees / 22.5) + 0.5) | int % 16 -%}
{{- directions[index] -}}
{%- endif -%}

THIS IS WHATI FOUND BUT HAVE NO IDEZA WHAT TO DO TO IMPLIMENT IT

• platform: template
  sensors:
  weather_wind_dir:
  friendly_name: 'Wind Direction'
  value_template: >
  {% set direction = ['N','NNE','NE','ENE','E','ESE','SE','SSE','S','SSW','SW','WSW','W','WNW','NW','NNW','N'] %}
  {% set degree = states('sensor.wind_dir')|float %}
  {{ direction[((degree+11.25)/22.5)|int] }}

sorry for caps

i have zero idea how to impliment any of this

First you need to clarify the name of your sensor or attribute from it. After that, read this article

sensor.st_00137020_wind_direction

[azure pagoda]

you will need to change the value at this location {% set degree = states('sensor.wind_dir')|float %}

again i have zero idea on any foundation on how to code this

i have zero experience with writing any formula or code i know how to copy and paste into the config file or find somnethign to copy and paste thats as far as i can really figure

[frank vector]

ok, and what does 0° represent, north south east or west?

without that info, we can't help

literally

with numbers, you need a point of reference, otherwise the numbers are meaningless

[orchid prism]

o is north

[frank vector]

alright, then what @azure pagoda posted is what you should use in a template sensor

[foggy hazel]

Go to settings > Devices & Services > Helpers and then press the button to create a new helper

Select Template > Template a sensor

[orchid prism]

ok im there

fes cani message you direct

[foggy hazel]

paste this in the field for the template:

{% set direction = ['N','NNE','NE','ENE','E','ESE','SE','SSE','S','SSW','SW','WSW','W','WNW','NW','NNW','N'] %}
{% set degree = states('sensor.st_00137020_wind_direction') %}
{{ direction[((degree | float + 11.25) / 22.5) | int] if degree | is_number else 'unknown' }}

don't set a state class/device class/unit of measurement

[foggy hazel]

no, I'd rather help you right here

[frank vector]

you need to update the sensor entity_id, as she claims she's incapable of altering code.

[foggy hazel]

already did 🙂 based on the info provided here #1370399338328621056 message

wrongly I see now

now It should be correct

[orchid prism]
