I get the same TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

[Taffy9325]

I get the same TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

Strangely enough though it hasn’t affected the functionality. I’ve upgraded to latest version of home assistant which is 2024.9.3 and it’s fine just a throws the error up. I think it’s got something to do with the thermostat entity’s

[wjnelson78]

Here are the two main issues that cause those errors in the logs, along with ways to fix or at least silence them:

1. “NoneType object is not iterable”

This error happens because your template is trying to loop over state_attr('climate.bedroom_thermostat','fan_modes'), but sometimes fan_modes is None (no data) instead of a list.

How to fix it

Before iterating over fan_modes or hvac_modes, wrap it in a conditional that checks if it actually has a value. For example, replace:

{% if state_attr('climate.bedroom_thermostat','fan_modes') is not none %}
{% for mode in state_attr('climate.bedroom_thermostat','fan_modes') %}
    ...
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}

And do the same for hvac_modes as well. That stops the error when your climate device temporarily does not expose those attributes.

1. ”’/config/openhaspconfig/bedroomtouchscreen.jsonl’ is not an allowed directory”

As of version 0.7.6, openHASP’s custom component enforces stricter checks on which directories it can read from. If you’ve saved your plate config file in a folder that’s not in the integration’s internal allowlist, Home Assistant logs that “not an allowed directory” error.

Ways to fix it

• Move the file into a directory the integration does allow. Double-check the openHASP documentation (or the GitHub issues) to see where they recommend putting .jsonl files.

• Or, if the integration supports it, add your /config/openhaspconfig path to Home Assistant’s allowlist_external_dirs in configuration.yaml. That might look like:

homeassistant:
  allowlist_external_dirs:
    - /config/openhaspconfig

However, that depends on whether the custom component actually respects the global allowlist_external_dirs setting. If it doesn’t, you need to follow the openHASP docs for placing or referencing config files.

Once you correct those two items—(1) add a conditional check around the fan_modes and hvac_modes loops, and (2) relocate or allowlist the .jsonl file—those error messages should go away. Even if the thermostat doesn’t always provide the modes and you see occasional null data, the new conditionals will keep the template from erroring out.
