I think you can do it by creating 3 automations + input_numbers that get the value of your real sensor at a specific time:
- to get the value at the beginning of the day (get the value of sensor when time is 00:00:01)
- to get the value at the end of the day (get the value of the sensor when time is 23:59:59)
- to calculate the value for a day (2-1)
If someone has other way or idea, please share it.
For example, this is how i get the correct date when my MiRobot starts cleaning:
- alias: MiRobot last runtime
hide_entity: True
trigger:
platform: template
value_template: "{{ (states.vacuum.mirobot.attributes.status) == 'Cleaning' }}"
action:
- service: input_datetime.set_datetime
data_template:
entity_id: input_datetime.mirobot_last_runtime
time: '{{ (as_timestamp(now()) | timestamp_custom("%H:%M:%S", true)) }}'
date: '{{ (as_timestamp(now()) | timestamp_custom("%Y-%m-%d", true)) }}' I think you can use something similar, but using input_number instead of datetime.
something like this (didn’t test it):
input_number:
consumption_morning:
name: Consumption morning
min: 9
max: 999999999
consumption_evening:
name: Consumption evening
min: 9
max: 999999999
daily_consumption:
name: Consumption evening
min: 9
max: 999999999
automation:
- alias: Start of the day value
trigger:
platform: time
at: '00:00:01'
action:
service: input_number.set_value
data_template:
entity_id: input_number.consumption_morning
value: "{{ states.sensor.your_sensor_name.state }}"
- alias: End of the day value
trigger:
platform: time
at: '23:59:58'
action:
service: input_number.set_value
data_template:
entity_id: input_number.consumption_evening
value: "{{ states.sensor.your_sensor_name.state }}"
- alias: Calculate daily consumption
trigger:
platform: time
at: '23:59:59'
action:
service: input_number.set_value
data_template:
entity_id: input_number.daily_consumption
value: "{{ (states.input_number.consumption_evening.state) - (states.input_number.consumption_morning.state) }}"
