Can I show the down-counting value of a Timer on the dashboard?
I seem to get only its starting value.
Yes you can pick the āentity of the timerā you have defined and named, hopefully more than timer. I have 15m, 8Hr for example.
Then you need to also trigger it to start when an action happens, then it will count down.
Thanks! I think I did exactly that.
It then shows only the starting value on my dashboard. If I click on it, I can see in a new window that itās running. There I can even pause it or stop it.
What I would like to see is the actual value of the timer continuously on my dashboard (without clicking on it)ā¦
type: entities
entities:
- entity: timer.poolpump
This works as you descibe, just a timer counting down (if itās actually ārunningā).
Here is my timer for Charging station from my Dashboard:
If it is not counting down, then you havenāt triggered it to start correctly.
Thank you for this.
If I do exactly what you propose, I get it as desired.
I had this:
type: entity
- entity: timer.poolpump
With this I got
āActiveā when itā was running or āInactiveā when it stopped.
why this behaves so different, I do not understandā¦
Thank you!
Thx again.
Not starting the timer rightly couldnāt be the case: I could see it running once I clicked on itā¦
Btw: I got a working solution from @Recte
The root cause was that my yaml worked differentlyā¦ why? I donāt knowā¦
thankyou again!
Thx, I did!
Try this:
Works great!
I will! Thx!
Hi @Jaapop8
You might want to set my post to āsolutionā, so itās easier to find for others that experience the same issue.
Iām obviously not very experienced in thisā¦ Thx for the heads up!
