You’ll need a timer and an automation.
timer:
laundry:
duration: '01:00:00'
automation:
- alias: Turn on the timer
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: switch.some_switch
to: 'on'
action:
- service: timer.start
data:
entity_id: timer.laundry
duration: '03:00:00'
I love you man!
Thanx!!
Is it posible to show this timer with the countdown time in lovelace?
Yes. `
timer.name_of_timer
as an entity card
Configuration.yaml
timer:
vaskemaskin:
duration: '00:01:00'
icon: mdi:washing-machine
ui-lovelace.yaml
- type: entities
entities:
- type: section
- entity: timer.vaskemaskin
type: custom:multiple-entity-row
name: Vaskemaskin
icon: mdi:washing-machine
primary:
name: custom name
entity: timer.laundry
attribute: remaining
unit: time
Just shows “Active” and “Idle” The countdown stands still…
Totally guessing here, but try putting your duration in seconds.
timer:
timer_name:
name: Time remaining
duration: 600 # Update this to the number of seconds you wish the timer to be.
The way I have my (only) timer set up is that I set up an input boolean, a timer, and an automation. When I turn on the input boolean, the automation is to start the timer.
input_boolean:
zigbee_permit_join:
name: Allow devices to join
initial: off
icon: mdi:cellphone-wireless
timer:
zigbee_permit_join:
name: Time remaining
duration: 600 # Updated this to the number of seconds you wish
automation:
- id: enable_zigbee_join
alias: Enable Zigbee joining
hide_entity: true
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: input_boolean.zigbee_permit_join
to: 'on'
action:
- service: timer.start
data:
entity_id: timer.zigbee_permit_join
And then my lovelace config looks like so:
Thank you so much for your help.
It turned out that the timer I had was working properly. The only problem was that the card I used in Lovelace (multiple-entity-row) couldn’t show the countdown.
When I switched to Entities card it worked as it should.
I probably wouldn’t have figured it out if I hadn’t tried the way you do it.
In addition, learned a little about input_boolean.
Hi,
Any question, how to for when the count arrive to 0 stop the entity?
I need a temporize the switch for on 5 minutes, when count is 0 , put the switch of boolean off , and turn off the switch, how too?
Use an automation of time Event as trigger and timer.finished as event type as such:
event_data:
entity_id: timer.porte_cours
event_type: timer.finished
platform: event
Sorry i understand, this is my automation, for off the counter, but this auto not off
- id: '1578952574812'
alias: Temporizador OFF
description: ''
trigger:
- event_data:
entity_id: timer.temporizador
event_type: 'timer.finished '
platform: event
condition: []
action:
- entity_id: switch.rboton2
service: switch.turn_off
- entity_id: input_boolean.temporizador
service: input_boolean.turn_off
In the configuration… yaml
timer:
temporizador:
name: Time remaining
duration: 60
input_boolean:
temporizador:
name: Temporizador
initial: off
icon: mdi:cellphone-wireless
What’s the code to start the timer? Also assuming you meant 60 seconds, try ‘00:01:00’ for duration.
were you able to get the countdown of the duration on an entity card?
