Hello
Can someone please suggest a way to display the largest water use times and volumes for a day?
I have a sensor that increments for each liter used. I use it to increment the utility sensors for hour, day etc. But I want to know not the largest use hour (that I have already) but also when the largest use started, ended and how much water was used
Maybe create a trend sensor?
Otherwise readout the water usage each day at 0:00 and use that vale to calculate the daily usage.
Create a helper (input_number) and use that in your automation and sensor:
alias: New Automation
description: ''
mode: single
trigger:
- platform: time
at: '00:00:00'
condition: []
action:
- service: input_number.set_value
data_template:
entity_id: input_number.daily_water
value: "{{ states.sensor.waterusage.state (or whatever yours is called) }}"
And in the template sensor you just subtract this helper from your water usage sensor and you get the daily usage.
Daily, monthly etc I get using the utility sensor, which resets every night etc
I want to get a list of major water use periods, similar to this:
Start time: 11:35am
End time: 12:05 pm
Water used: 365L
I am currently using hourly values. But I cannot track if 2 or more events happened in the same hour. Like if I wanted to know how much water kids used while taking a bath. It’s fine if it happened in an hour when no other water was used. But if they turned on water quarter to and turned off 20 past, I would not know how much was really used between the 2 points
