Hi, I’m new to HA and I am trying to figure out how to customize my setup a little bit.
I added a system monitor “since_last_boot” sensor to my system. It lists the system uptime in the following format: “h:mm:ss:######”
I don’t really need to know how long my system has been up down to the millionth of a second. I don’t really need seconds either for that matter. Is there any way to trim it down to just hours and minutes in the configuration.yaml?
I had the same issue.
Haven’t implemented it yet but it should work. Just need to find some time to add it to my config file.
I made a template sensor based on that same sensor to make it more readable.
Under sensor: I have the following code:
- platform: template
sensors:
since_last_boot_templated:
value_template: >-
{%- set slb = states.sensor.since_last_boot.state.split(' ') -%}
{%- set count = slb | length -%}
{%- set hms = slb[count - 1] -%}
{%- set hms_trimmed = hms.split('.')[0] -%}
{%- set hms_split = hms_trimmed.split(':') -%}
{%- set hours = hms_split[0] | int -%}
{%- set minutes = hms_split[1] | int -%}
{%- set seconds = hms_split[2] | int -%}
{%- if count == 3 -%}
{{ slb[0] ~ ' ' ~ slb[1] ~ ' ' }}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if hours > 0 -%}
{%- if hours == 1 -%}
1 hour
{%- else -%}
{{ hours }} hours
{%- endif -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if minutes > 0 -%}
{%- if hours > 0 -%}
{{ ', ' }}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if minutes == 1 -%}
1 minute
{%- else -%}
{{ minutes }} minutes
{%- endif -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if seconds > 0 -%}
{%- if hours > 0 or minutes > 0 -%}
{{ ', ' }}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if seconds == 1 -%}
1 second
{%- else -%}
{{ seconds }} seconds
{%- endif -%}
{%- endif -%}
The code looks a little complicated because the original output includes the amount of days once the last boot was more than 24 hours ago.
The original output in the example below would be: 2 days, 17:34:9.######. The output of the template sensor looks like this:
If you just want h:mm:ss instead of h:mm:ss.######, then use this for a template:
states.sensor.since_last_boot.state.split('.')[0]
Am I missing something? I added the template code but don’t get the sensor. how would I add the actual sensor?
You still need to add the actual system monitor to your configuration, with the since_last_boot resource as a bare minimum. My template sensor is based on it. Without including the system monitor component, my template sensor has nothing to work with.
Thanks! I added the template that you shared and it is much nicer to look at now.
Thanks for this code, how can I drop the seconds from the readout and just have days hours minutes.
You can simply strip it down to this:
- platform: template
sensors:
since_last_boot_templated:
value_template: >-
{%- set slb = states.sensor.since_last_boot.state.split(' ') -%}
{%- set count = slb | length -%}
{%- set hms = slb[count - 1] -%}
{%- set hms_trimmed = hms.split('.')[0] -%}
{%- set hms_split = hms_trimmed.split(':') -%}
{%- set hours = hms_split[0] | int -%}
{%- set minutes = hms_split[1] | int -%}
{%- if count == 3 -%}
{{ slb[0] ~ ' ' ~ slb[1] ~ ' ' }}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if hours > 0 -%}
{%- if hours == 1 -%}
1 hour
{%- else -%}
{{ hours }} hours
{%- endif -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if minutes > 0 -%}
{%- if hours > 0 -%}
{{ ', ' }}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if minutes == 1 -%}
1 minute
{%- else -%}
{{ minutes }} minutes
{%- endif -%}
{%- endif -%}
One more question on this subject. I have spent several hours looking at the templating page and examining templating examples, but I cannot get my template to take.
Here is my sensor:
- platform: command_line
name: CPU Temp
command: "cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp"
unit_of_measurement: "°F"
value_template: '{{ value | multiply(0.001) * 1.8 + 32 }}'
It displays anywhere from 4-10+ decimal points.
I tried round(0), with pipes and no pipes and brackets and no brackets, but all to no avail. What am I doing wrong?
Try this: {{ (value | multiply(0.001) * 1.8 + 32) | round(0) }}
Thanks, David! It worked. I have a lot of learning still to do. It was that parenthesis after 32 that I was missing.
Thank you @fanaticDavid for your code. I tried to modify it a bit, but unfortunately I cannot figure it out. I want my output to look like:
5 dni, 6 ur 55 min
With my code Home Assistant starts up, but “Time since last boot” is “unknown” (I have translated words day (dni) and hour (ur) to my native language)
My code:
- platform: template
sensors:
since_last_boot_templated:
value_template: >-
{%- set slb = states.sensor.since_last_boot.state.split(' ') -%}
{%- set count = slb | length -%}
{%- set days_temp = slb[count - 0] -%}
{%- set days_split = days_temp.split(' ')[0] -%}
{%- set days = days_split[0] | int -%}
{%- set hms = slb[count - 1] -%}
{%- set hms_trimmed = hms.split('.')[0] -%}
{%- set hms_split = hms_trimmed.split(':') -%}
{%- set hours = hms_split[0] | int -%}
{%- set minutes = hms_split[1] | int -%}
{%- set seconds = hms_split[2] | int -%}
{%- if count == 3 -%}
{{ slb[0] ~ ' ' ~ slb[1] ~ ' ' }}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if days > 0 -%}
{%- if days == 1 -%}
1 dan
{%- elif days == 2 -%}
2 dneva
{%- elif days == 3 -%}
3 dnevi
{%- elif days == 4 -%}
4 dnevi
{%- else -%}
{{ days }} dni
{%- endif -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if hours > 0 -%}
{%- if days > 0 -%}
{{ ' ' }}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if hours > 0 -%}
{%- if hours == 1 -%}
1 ura
{%- elif hours == 2 -%}
2 uri
{%- elif hours == 3 -%}
3 ure
{%- elif hours == 4 -%}
4 ure
{%- else -%}
{{ hours }} ur
{%- endif -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if minutes > 0 -%}
{%- if hours > 0 -%}
{{ ' ' }}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if minutes == 1 -%}
1 min
{%- else -%}
{{ minutes }} min
{%- endif -%}
{%- endif -%}
I am getting the following error in my log:
homeassistant.components.sensor.template: UndefinedError: list object has no element 1Hello,
I’m new to Home Assistant and also trying to template the system monitor uptime.
I tried the code suggested here but get an error in the log, that the code isn’t expected at that location, so where should I place this template.
This is how I created it in de config:
sensor:
## Systemstate
- platform: systemmonitor
resources:
- type: last_boot
- type: since_last_boot
- type: processor_use
- type: disk_use_percent
arg: /
- type: memory_use_percent
## Last boot Template
- platform: template
since_last_boot_templated:
value_template: >-
{%- set slb = states.sensor.since_last_boot.state.split(' ') -%}
{%- set count = slb | length -%}
{%- set hms = slb[count - 1] -%}
{%- set hms_trimmed = hms.split('.')[0] -%}
{%- set hms_split = hms_trimmed.split(':') -%}
{%- set hours = hms_split[0] | int -%}
{%- if count == 3 -%}
{{ slb[0] ~ ' ' ~ slb[1] ~ ' ' }}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if hours > 0 -%}
{%- if hours == 1 -%}
1 hour
{%- else -%}
{{ hours }} hours
{%- endif -%}
{%- endif -%}
Can someone help me with this?
Thank you!

Your indenting needed fixing, and the line sensors: was missing under the line - platform: template:
sensor:
## Systemstate
- platform: systemmonitor
resources:
- type: last_boot
- type: since_last_boot
- type: processor_use
- type: disk_use_percent
arg: /
- type: memory_use_percent
## Last boot Template
- platform: template
sensors:
since_last_boot_templated:
value_template: >-
{%- set slb = states.sensor.since_last_boot.state.split(' ') -%}
{%- set count = slb | length -%}
{%- set hms = slb[count - 1] -%}
{%- set hms_trimmed = hms.split('.')[0] -%}
{%- set hms_split = hms_trimmed.split(':') -%}
{%- set hours = hms_split[0] | int -%}
{%- if count == 3 -%}
{{ slb[0] ~ ' ' ~ slb[1] ~ ' ' }}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if hours > 0 -%}
{%- if hours == 1 -%}
1 hour
{%- else -%}
{{ hours }} hours
{%- endif -%}
{%- endif -%}
Starting from your observation that the sensor state does not includes the “days” count of the first 24 hours, I built the following template with an if-else logic to address that issue. It seems to work.
value_template: > {% if states.sensor.since_last_boot.state.count("day") > 0 %} {{states.sensor.since_last_boot.state.split(",") [0] + "," + states.sensor.since_last_boot.state.split(",") [1].split(":") [0] + " hours, " + states.sensor.since_last_boot.state.split(",") [1].split(":") [1] + " minutes" }} {% else %} {{ "0 days, " + states.sensor.since_last_boot.state.split(",") [0].split(":") [0] + " hours, " + states.sensor.since_last_boot.state.split(",") [0].split(":") [1] + " minutes" }} {% endif %}
Hi,
It is solved now!.
I missed the rule about the sensor: but it looked like it dit the trick.
The code from jcroed is really nice, and short. I’m using this one now,
I’ll try to dive into the code so I hopefully can write some of my own in the future.
Thank you both fanaticDavid and jcroed.
