Hi, I have this working sensor but sometimes the wattage will drop to 0 and will ruin my automation, how can I add timedelta to this sensor? I want to be true only if is greater than 5 for at least 20 seconds.
I don’t think is ok with average sensor because usually when cycle starts is getting 5-10 watt then back to zero for some time, after that will get to 1000W and I don’t know which value should be average.
Huh??
The average will always be the average. You don’t pick a value as the average.
Yes it will fluctuate, but the average sensor makes sure there is an above 5 value when it’s still running (unless it drops down below 5 for more than 20 seconds).
