I’m running into issues trying to set up a text_sensor to display remaining seconds/minutes. I’ve tried several lambda configurations without luck. My latest code throws an error on compile;
Compiling /data/irrigation-valve-ctrl-unit-a/.pioenvs/irrigation-valve-ctrl-unit-a/src/main.cpp.o
/config/esphome/irrigation-valve-ctrl-unit-a.yaml: In lambda function:
/config/esphome/irrigation-valve-ctrl-unit-a.yaml:80:75: error: return-statement with a value, in function returning 'void' [-fpermissive]
80 | return id($devicename).time_remaining().value_or(0);
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^
*** [/data/irrigation-valve-ctrl-unit-a/.pioenvs/irrigation-valve-ctrl-unit-a/src/main.cpp.o] Error 1
========================== [FAILED] Took 7.75 seconds ==========================
Despite searching for a solution on Google, I’m unable to figure out what’s wrong.
The block of code where the trouble occurs reads;
- platform: template
name: Time Remaining
icon: mdi:progress-clock
on_value:
then:
lambda: |-
return id($devicename).time_remaining().value_or(0);
Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.
