Home Assistant Legacy Template Migration

Pure Bash script to fix all 67 template deprecation warnings by migrating from legacy platform: template syntax to modern template: syntax.

✅ No Python required - Works directly in SSH add-on!

🚀 Quick Start

cd /config
wget https://gitea.hideawaygaming.com.au/jessikitty/ha-template-migration/raw/branch/main/migrate_templates.sh
chmod +x migrate_templates.sh
bash migrate_templates.sh

Then:

ha core check    # Verify configuration
ha core restart  # Apply changes

⚠️ What This Fixes

Home Assistant 2026.6 will remove support for legacy template syntax.

Before (deprecated):

binary_sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      router_authenticated:
        friendly_name: "Router Authenticated"
        value_template: "{{ states('input_text.router_token') != '' }}"

After (modern):

template:
  - binary_sensor:
      - name: "Router Authenticated"
        state: "{{ states('input_text.router_token') != '' }}"
        unique_id: router_authenticated
