How do I control my lawn irrigation using irrigation unlimited integration

Thank you for the help again.
I now created two helpers - one for lawn irrigation and one for drip irrigation

input_number.dauer_tropfbewasserung

and

input_number.dauer_rasenbewasserung

how do I change the automation that it takes the specified time for the duration of the irrigation instead of the fixed 20 minutes of zone as of now it’s fine with me that each zone has an equal length and I could easily change it separately from there.

The other issue is with displaying the remaining time. I would like to see the remaining time for each irrigation zone. I posted

template:
  - sensor:
    - name: "Countdown Water Timer Decimal Minutes"
      unique_id: "Countdown Water Timer Decimal Minutes"
      state: >-
        {{  (( states.input_boolean.rasenbewasserung.on | as_timestamp  -
                utcnow() | as_timestamp  + 
                states('sensor.total_time_watering_seconds') | float(0) ) / 60.0) | round(1) }}
  

and added the entity

sensor.countdown_water_timer_decimal_minutes

as a result I get -159.5 and it keeps changing even though the irrigation is off. So something is not right still.

It is running once a minute and is counting down so it will go negative.

Here is a similar sensor that stops at 0.0

template:
  - sensor:
    - name: "Countdown Water Timer Decimal Minutes"
      unique_id: "Countdown Water Timer Decimal Minutes"
      state: >-
        {% set timestamp =  states.input_boolean.rasenbewasserung.on | as_timestamp  %}
        {% set mynow =  utcnow() | as_timestamp %}
        {% set watertime = states('sensor.total_time_watering_seconds') | float(0) %}
        {% if timestamp - mynow + watertime > 0 %}
          {{ ((timestamp - mynow + watertime) / 60.0) | round(1) }}
        {% else %}
           0.0
        {% endif %}

I tested this in the developer tools. I set variables and output the variables for each condition. My zone time is in minutes so that is why it is multiplied by 60. This will updated once a minute.

{% set timestamp =  states.input_boolean.run_irrigation.last_changed | as_timestamp  %}
{% set mynow =  utcnow() | as_timestamp %}
{% set watertime = states('input_number.zone1') | float(0) * 60.0 %}
{% if timestamp - mynow + watertime > 0 %}
  {{ timestamp }}
  {{ mynow }}
  {{ watertime }}
  {{ ((timestamp - mynow + watertime) / 60.0) | round(3) }}
{% else %}
    0.0
  {{ timestamp }}
  {{ mynow }}
  {{ watertime }}
{% endif %}

and got this

after 5 minutes it becomes this

I doesn’t quite work for me - in supervisor I tried

template:
  - sensor:
    - name: "Countdown Water Timer Decimal Minutes"
      unique_id: "Countdown Water Timer Decimal Minutes"
      state: >-
        {% set timestamp =  states.input_boolean.rasenbewasserung.on | as_timestamp  %}
        {% set mynow =  utcnow() | as_timestamp %}
        {% set watertime = states('sensor.total_time_watering_seconds') | float(0) %}
        {% if timestamp - mynow + watertime > 0 %}
          {{ ((timestamp - mynow + watertime) / 60.0) | round(1) }}
        {% else %}
           0.0
        {% endif %}

However, I get this:

UndefinedError: 'homeassistant.helpers.template.TemplateState object' has no attribute 'on'

states.input_boolean.rasenbewasserung.on | as_timestamp

Should be

states.input_boolean.rasenbewasserung.last_changed | as_timestamp

The last_changed is the time the input boolean last changed.

Can something like this work?
