ESPHome DutyTime

ESPHome

I have a dutytime sensor set up to display the runtime of a filter in hours, minutes and seconds. It displays properly but when it reaches 24 hours it resets to zero by itself with out anything calling the reset function.

Has anyone else encountered this behavior or know of a way to resolve it. I would eventually like to get the display working for days and hours.

Maybe your board is rebooting?
try with:
restore: true

I have restore: true. It’s not rebooting. I watched it roll over this morning.

Unexpected.
Feel free to post your yaml.

%

When seconds rolls over to zero, int hours = seconds/3600, or 0/3600, =0

Try making a global to hold raw seconds and use that in the hours calculation…

I will look at that.

It shows properly up to 24:59:5x (since the updates are 5s it varies)
Then it returns to 0s and starts counting up again. I don’t have it listed in the yaml but I have a sensor that displays the raw value of the dutytime sensor and it also returned to 0.0 and started incrementing again.

For example duty time is one day and one second:

int seconds = round(id(filter_on_time).state); returns 86401s
seconds = seconds % (24 * 3600); 86401 % 86400 returns 1
int hours = seconds / 3600; returns 0
seconds = seconds % 3600; returns 1
int minutes = seconds / 60; returns 0
seconds = seconds % 60; returns 1

Set your duty time sensor
internal: false
and see the real duty time

And if you like to convert the time delete this line:

int seconds = round(id(filter_on_time).state);
seconds = seconds % (24 * 3600);
int hours = seconds / 3600;
seconds = seconds % 3600;
int minutes = seconds / 60;
seconds = seconds % 60;

Thank you @Karosm !

Was able to get it to work with the following:

state: !lambda |-
          int seconds = round(id(filter_on_time).state);
          int days = seconds / 86400;
          seconds = seconds % 86400;
          int hours = seconds / 3600;
          seconds = seconds % 3600;
          int minutes = seconds /  60;
          seconds = seconds % 60;
          return {(
           (days ? String(days) + "d " : "") +
           (hours ? String(hours) + "h " : "") +
           (minutes ? String(minutes) + "m " : "") +
           (String(seconds) + "s")
          ).c_str()};
