[mqtt.homeassistant] Request to correctly recognise HA convention Python capitalised Booleans in value templates

[DigiH]

As discussed on the openHAB forum the only problematic issue left I am currently seeing is the HA required Python capitalised Booleans convention in value templates, which are currently failing, i. e.

Only working in Home Assistant:
“val_tpl”: “{% if value_json.get(‘unlocked’) is true -%}True{%- else -%}False{%- endif %}”

as this currently does not work in openHAB, but making them lower case breaks it in Home Assistant.

Only working in openHAB:
“val_tpl”: “{% if value_json.get(‘unlocked’) is true -%}true{%- else -%}false{%- endif %}”

Having the former also work in openHAB would nicely remove the need to have a separate setting for openHAB adjusted Home Assistant MQTT discovery.

Thanks
