Please remove or update (the last two sensors) the entity_id: entries. It's advance feature and not needed to get the sensors running. Minimal samples are easier to understand for new users.

OK. The inclusion of the entity_id was deliberate since without this the template gets re-evaluated periodically, which is rather inefficient. Since most of the pushback that I had in proposing this feature in the first place was to do with efficiency issues I thought I would make the example as efficient as possible!
…{% raw %}.
Also corrected typos in entity_id entries for examples.
