Counting sump pump cycles

I’m still running that code. It’s running on the ESP32 itself. Here’s the whole build if you’re interested:

edit: this is the code I’m using, with the specific code highlighted:

  # Device Naming
  devicename: sump-pump
  friendly_name: Sump Pump
  device_description: Sump Pump Level Sensor, Counter, and Alarm

  # Limits for pump levels and alarm levels
  primary_pumpout_below_height: '0.100' #meters; the primary pump will empty the sump to below this level
  primary_pumpout_reset_height: '0.140' #meters; primary pump counter is reset when water rises above this level (enabling it to be triggered again)
  primary_pumpout_duration_limit: '60.0' #seconds; maximum duration for the primary pump to drop the level from 'reset_height' to 'below_height' (otherwise the sump level dropped by some other means e.g. evaporation)
