Convert Time

SmartHomeGuy · April 28, 2019, 11:24pm

Hi,

New to home assistant and trying to figure out how I can convert a sensor with 5:34:34 ( hours:minutes:seconds ) to something like 5h 34m as it looks cleaner and nicer in the UI.

I have tried many ways but none seems to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You!

Can you maybe show me how?

Thanks!

Put this into the Template Editor and experiment with it:

{% set x = '5:34:34'.split(':') %}

{{x[0]}}h {{x[1]}}m

If the sensor you have is called sensor.timestring then:

{% set x = states('sensor.timestring').split(':') %}

{{x[0]}}h {{x[1]}}m

Works great for me, thanks everyone for helping!
