for now I’m using this quick&dirty solution
I’m using an helper
then when the sprinkler start, there is an automation that does the math and set the value
{% set total = 0 %}
{% if states('switch.zone_1_enable') == 'on' %}
{% set total = total + (states('number.zone_1_duration')|int*60)%}
{% endif %}
{% if states('switch.zone_2_enable') == 'on' %}
{% set total = total + (states('number.zone_2_duration')|int*60)%}
{% endif %}
{% if states('switch.zone_3_enable') == 'on' %}
{% set total = total + (states('number.zone_3_duration')|int*60)%}
{% endif %}
{% if states('switch.zone_4_enable') == 'on' %}
{% set total = total + (states('number.zone_4_duration')|int*60)%}
{% endif %}
{% if states('switch.zone_5_enable') == 'on' %}
{% set total = total + (states('number.zone_5_duration')|int*60)%}
{% endif %}
{% if states('switch.zone_6_enable') == 'on' %}
{% set total = total + (states('number.zone_6_duration')|int*60)%}
{% endif %}
{% set total = total * (states('number.run_duration_multiplier')|int) %}
{{ total | timestamp_custom("%H:%M:%S",0)}}
next step, dynamically populate the list of the active zone and sum the corresponding values.

@rcblackwell I hope that your are going well, I’m trying to compile the code with ESPHome 2023.3.0 and I’m now stuck with this error, any ideas?

This was a breaking change in sprinkler component v2. The item is now called time_remaining_active_valve.

THANK YOU, I missed it. I will have a look to see if there are additional changes.
Thank you again

Hey @olympia , I haven’t touched the code in a while and is still a work in progress with some bugs, but here IT is:

Many thanks, I just wanted to got some inspirations what cards you were using.

Hello @olympia , I would like to thank you for working with the Sprinkler component developer. I see that you brought up some issues that I was battling for. My language barrier was impeding me to express the issues I’m having.
I’m also glad that you are using part of my code. Would you mind sharing your work here? I’m curious about what you are achieving and your dashboard.
Once again, many thanks!

Thank you for noting this!
I am actually in the same shoes as you: I am also not a developer and just learning as I want to achieve something new.
Regarding the dashboard, it’s still in heavy development (but I see the light at the end of the tunnel) and I will have no time in the next 1-1.5 weeks to continue. Still a lot to do both on the backend side (esphome code) and on the HA dashboard (still some design headache besides how I actually code it). Will definitely share the end result.
Some (not complete) teaser:

I have a single garden sprinkler, so nice and simple. I control runtime duration from HA (Helper “input_number.sprinkler_runtime”) it all works fine, however the text sensor that’s exposed to HA updates every 5 seconds (as it should) but does regardless of whether the sprinkler is running or not, so if not running it sends 0 seconds remaining, every 5 seconds, eg:
[14:03:36][D][text_sensor:064]: ‘Time Remaining’: Sending state ‘0s’
The code is fairly basic…

To avoid always sending data back, I tried doing a simple if statement in the text_sensor:
lambda: |-
int seconds = round(id(garden_sprinkler_ctrlr).time_remaining_active_valve().value_or(0));
if (seconds > 0) {
int days = seconds / (24 * 3600);
seconds = seconds % (24 * 3600);
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()};
}
but it fails when compiling.

What am I doing wrong?
Edit… actually no void function assume it always requires something to be returned then. What’s the alternative to avoid constant traffic from esp back to ha?

A template sensor must always return some value (text, float, etc) But if you give a sensor no name, it is an internal sensor and it won’t publish its state to HA. So remove the name: line from your yaml for this text sensor.
Didn’t make a difference removing name. Also according to help pages name: is required .
Also I do want the time remaining sent to HA, but only when it’s running, not when it’s idle as there is no point sending “0 seconds remaining” every 5 seconds and is just more overhead for HA to deal with,
Sounds like you need a “text delta filter”.
I think you have options. I think the best solution might just be up to your preference. I’m not sure of performance differences or best practice. I think possibly it all gets optimised during compiles anyway. Dunno much about that though.
Note how the filter: is a different node to the lambda:
During development (and often permanently) , I usually use “copy sensors” (option 2). I mark the “intermediate” ones as internal and mark the one I want to send to HA as external. I find it easier to ma…
What you want to do makes perfect sense to me and I’m also not aware of a “delta equivalent” which would be my go to for a numerical sensor.
I found on Discord Ssieb suggested adding this as a filter.
filters:
- lambda: |-
static std::string last;
if (x == last)
return {};
last = x;
return x;
Edit: Added filters node for clarity.

Yep that worked thanks seems my C++ code in the lambda doing the return was initially wrong. But the filter is a much cleaner solution !!
