Automation runtime based on Season

[robert.boccia]

I have this implemented, pump comes on at right time but the stop time does not work unless i manually set the start time everyday? any ideas why?

Post your automation and template sensor configuration.

template:

• sensor:
  • name: Pump Stop
    device_class: timestamp
    state: >
    {% set hrs = {‘spring’: 5, ‘summer’: 5, ‘autumn’: 2, ‘winter’: 2}.get(states(‘sensor.season’), 5) %}
    {{ today_at(states(‘input_datetime.pump_start’)) + timedelta(hours=hrs) }}

alias: Pool Pump Seasonal Schedule
description: ''
trigger:
  - id: 'on'
    platform: time
    at: input_datetime.pump_start
  - id: 'off'
    platform: time
    at: sensor.pump_stop
condition: []
action:
  - service: homeassistant.turn_{{ trigger.id }}
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: switch.sonoff_1000c301b9
  - service: notify.mobile_app_sm_n986b
    data:
      message: Pool Pump {{ trigger.id }}
mode: single

created the pump start input helper, and the pump stop template as suggested

I know this post i pretty old but i just moved to HA and i am thrilled by it and therefore i’m happy to share.

Here is my swimming-pool pump automation using timers.

What does it do :

• different durations based on season
• different start times based on season

requirements :

• season integration
• a Timer helper with ID timer.piscine (“Swimming-pool” in french or change the ID in the automation) with “restore” checked
