Hey folks, how can I count during one day the time a binary-sensor is “on”?

literally copy the example and paste it into your configuration in the sensor section. Change the source entity_id, then change type: time to type: count.

Okay, I made these sensors: - platform: history_stats name: "Brennerstatistik Tag" entity_id: binary_sensor.heizungsbrenner state: "on" type: count start: "{{ now().replace(hour=0, minute=0) }}" end: "{{ now().replace(hour=23, minute=59) }}" - platform: history_stats …

You’re end is wrong. You can’t get information in the future and that will screw up your time. It should be exactly like the example, where end is just "{{ now() }}". You can also use "{{ today_at('00:00') }}" for the start to get exactly midnight. to get your result in minutes, multiply the res…

[image] petro: to get your result in minutes, multiply the result by 60 in a template sensor. how must I do this

create a template sensor, this is a close example of what you need to do [image] Template Instructions on how to integrate Template Sensors into Home Assistant.

Oh no! Templates are the worst thint to me. :frowning:

all you need to do is copy/paste that example and change the entity_id and the number after the * to 60.

where do I have to put this template?

All examples in the documentation are assumed to go into configuration.yaml unless otherwise specified.
