I have a template that outputs a number. I'd like to see that number on my dashboard (in addition to using it in automations). But it's not present in the dropdown list of entities when I try to create an entity card for it. What am I supposed to do ?
#How can I add a template to my dashboard ?

where did you put this template?

Assuming OP used the UI to make the entity, does the browser/app need to be refreshed afterwards?

Did you check Developer Tools to ensure the entity is actually being created and is configured properly?

Correct. One of my template entities:
sour fog
Yes it's in there
Okay it's creating it's, but not under the name I'm giving it... And it created it 4 times
template:
- sensor:
- name: "Cheap electricity"
unique_id: "cheap_electricity"
state: >-
{% set voltage = states('sensor.shellypmminig3_dcda0ceb089c_voltage') %}
{{ voltage not in ['unavailable', 'unknown'] }}
- name: "Cheap electricity"
This is the template. But I have it x4 in the states list, but the copies are marked "unavailable"
This is just broken. Man every time I try to use a feature of Home Assistant it turns out to be half broken.

Just curious what you're trying to do. Looks like you made an entity that shows the state of another entity.
