Count Sensor Toggles? How?

[68hc11 (Calvin)]

So I have the GPIO reading my driveway detector. What I would like to do is have a “Counter” to display the number of times the driveway detector was activated each day (and reset to zero at midnight). Any idea how to build this in HA?

Thanks in Advance!

Sensor:Counter

A basic counter with for use with automation. Functionality could extended if It could be reset a a certain time/day/week or date. Values can be incremented and decremented Example usage. Count how many times my door have been opened during a day. Track times something has been triggered. Example configuration.yaml entry sensor: platform: counter name: "MQTT Sensor" unit_of_measurement: "L" reset_time: "22:00" increment: "1" decrement: "10"
