Very new to blueprints, I love this - but I want to be able to exclude a few leak sensors that I want to use for a different purpose. Any pointers on how I'd go about adding an exclude list? I see how to declare them here: https://gist.github.com/sbyx/1f6f434f0903b872b84c4302637d0890 but not sure how I'd eventually use that list.

Getting an error recently: Template variable error: 'None' has no attribute 'attributes'
when rendering '{{ trigger.event.data.new_state.attributes.device_class == "moisture" }}'

chatgpt tells me:
The error 'None' has no attribute 'attributes' happens when trigger.event.data.new_state is None. This can happen if a sensor is deleted, unavailable, or for some reason the event doesn’t include a new_state.

In Home Assistant, a safe way to handle this is to check that new_state exists before accessing its attributes. You can change your condition to:

and proposes this fix

- condition: template value_template: > {% if trigger.event.data.new_state %} {{ trigger.event.data.new_state.attributes.device_class == 'moisture' }} {% else %} false {% endif %}
