There is a sensor which normal state is 0. I would like an automation to notify time period sensor has been 1, after returning to 0. Something like “Sensor state is 0 again. It has been 1 for 20min”.
Could somebody point me how to easily do it? Of course, part I don’t know how to deal is how to get time period.
your first word is a hint
then show us what you have done
then we can point you down a path of no return LOL
most of the sensor have a Last Updated and or Last Changed
by going to the states page we can see it
then we can jump into the TEMPLATE page
do some jinja2
or you can just turn it on in lovelace
so write the automation the trigger
- id: Front Door Open
alias: "Front Door Open"
trigger:
- entity_id: binary_sensor.front_door
platform: state
to: 'on'
remeber most thing have a on/off or true/false
a condition (this must be this)
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: sensor.day_night
state: 'Night'
now the action bit
action:
- data_template:
title: "Home Assistant"
message: "{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name }} was {% if trigger.to_state.state == 'on' %} Open {% else %} Closed {% endif %}"
service: notify.stephan_phone
hope this start you down the path

It’s a about a water flow meter I use for irrigation control. Sonoff Mini with Espurna Firmware. It’s working grate. Espurna firm provides me two sensors: caudal event and caudal counter. I add another one to translate counter to litters/min which is irrelevant here.
When irrigation is on, caudal event turns to 1. When is off to 0.
I can´t see Last state or Last changed states on my sensors. I mean not only this one. No sensors (doors,fire, movement) have! Weird.
It can be related to no registry log. I don’t know why.
Please change your post’s category. “Share Your Projects” is for posts that share something you created with the community. Your post is a question about how to configure an automation so the “Configuration” category would be more appropriate. Thank you.
I think I’m on the way. I try to use “now()” in two different moments. I store first moment as variable “irrigation start”. key point is to recover this variable as time and not as tring. In spite of template use, I didn’t success yet. I combined as_timestamp, quotes, etc to not avail on message field.

Please, could somebody give me a help?
Final automation in case it helps:
alias: Notifica riego realizado

- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.espurna_c667d5_caudal_event
from: '0'

from: '1'
to: '0'
- service: notify.gmail_sender
data:
message: |-
