Wrong values shown for sensors with multiply attributes

Describe what is wrong

  • I'm using filters, e.g., to get all device temperatures automatically into one card
  • The sensors / entities I'm filtering usually have several attributes (temperature, humidity, device temperature, etc.).
  • For some entities, the battery state card plugin shows wrong values in the card.
  • Instead of taking the device temperature it shows for example the battery value.
  • If I click on the output of the state card to see more details, I see the correct values though.
  • I've tried to also specify the attribute of the sensor, w/o any luck.

Is there anything I'm missing in terms of the settings or is this maybe a potential bug? Thanks for any help!

It's because this card was mainly designed for showing battery state. It automatically takes "battery" attribute value if such exists. If all your devices have the same attributes you can add the attribute: device_temperature (at the "unit" level) e.g.:
