Unable to configure to work with license plates starting with a number

[mlhyyl]

Hi,

In Turkey, our license plates start with numbers.

Unfortunately, HA will protest when I feed in the code below and click Check configuration. 82ab123 causes the problem.

value_template: "{{ state_attr('image_processing.platerecognizer', 'watched_plates').82ab123 }}"

Is there a workaround to this situation?

Not sure, sounds like a generic HA question, can you ask on the forums?

Here is my workaround for the sensor:
value_template: >
{{ state_attr("image_processing.platerecognizer_door", "watched_plates")["82ab123"] }}
This is because variables names cannot start with a number.
