Hey folks,
I have this small automation:
alias: Energiesparen - Marc 2
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: time_pattern
minutes: /15
condition:
- condition: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.wall_plug_switch_electric_consumption_w
above: '5'
- condition: or
conditions:
- condition: device
device_id: b11360d1f6e5807fba47c5cdd5e9084f
domain: device_tracker
entity_id: device_tracker.redmi_note_7_mob
type: is_not_home
- condition: time
before: '06:00'
action:
- type: turn_off
device_id: e98be3e524f21981c6f29ca1da5202d2
entity_id: switch.wall_plug_switch_marc
domain: switch
mode: single
The Problem I have is, that I only want to do the action, when the entity_id: sensor.wall_plug_switch_electric_consumption_w
is above: '5'
for at least 15 minutes.
How can I do this?
thanks and regards

Trigger on that then.
trigger:
- platform: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.wall_plug_switch_electric_consumption_w
above: 5
for:
minutes: 5
I had that allready but it didn’t work

It is a valid trigger and will do what you asked for. As soon as the power goes from below 5W to above 5W and stays there for 5 minutes the automation will trigger.

I use this in several automations, but do use a different for:
syntax.
Both should work, but it’s worth a try. One of my triggers` yaml:
for: '00:05:00'
platform: template
value_template: >-
{{ states("sensor.grid_power")|int(default=0) >
states("input_number.threshold") | float(default=440) }}

What does the automation trace say?

Almost a year ago I posted this issue . I am not sure if you bumped into the same issue but for as far as I know, this issue is never fixed. I worked around it by using a helper that stores now + the “for-period” and use that as a trigger. For example:
service: input_datetime.set_datetime
data:
datetime: '{{ now() + timedelta( minutes = 15 ) }}'
target:
entity_id: input_datetime.trigger_me
and trigger:
platform: time
at: input_datetime.trigger_me
In your case it’s a messy solution, but with 3 triggers you could make it work.
One trigger above 5, one below 5 and one on the helper.
Above sets the helper
Below sets the helper in the past?
Handles the turn-off
