Templating command "in" (state attribute search) not working

[MisfitPunisher]

The problem

Hi friends!

The template command "in" for searching strings in a state_attr is no longer working

Here an example of my code for searching: value_template: "{{(state_attr('sensor.enricfon_bluetooth_connection','connected_paired_devices')!=None) and ('EE:5C:0F:EF:B2:D2' in state_attr('sensor.enricfon_bluetooth_connection','connected_paired_devices'))}}"

One month ago it was working, no code changed, and no longer is working.

Has de syntax changed?

Have you some other example?

[tdejneka]

The syntax hasn't changed. If you copy-paste this into the Template Editor you'll see it reports True.

{{ 'cat' in 'concatenate' }}

The question is has the value of connected_paired_devices changed?

Copy-paste the following into the Template Editor and see what it reports.

{{ state_attr('sensor.enricfon_bluetooth_connection', 'connected_paired_devices') }}
