Hello,
I have a binary sensor called binary_sensor.dgbackup and it is checking the status of a LED. If the LED turns on (the government electricity supply is “OFF” and my apartment is on Generator backup -LED turns On). Generator backup is Peak Tariff for my purpose.
So I want to maintain a log in Influxdb of the timestamps when the binary_sensor.dgbackup is in On status and timestamp in Off status (log the times when state changes).
While I am able to see the binary_sensor.dgbackup in InfluxDB under state --> entity_id but I am not able to figure out how to log time.
Later I want to run queries for the duration we were on a generator supply.
How do I carry out this in InfluxDB. I looked for it and couldn’t find anything. If this has already been discussed and someone is aware of the link, please share. Thank you.
