Hi there,
I’ve created a template sensor, which should show the time remaining between now and a specific time-stamp.
This is my sensor:
oilfox_kachelofen_updatetimeleft:
value_template: >-
{% set currentTime = as_timestamp(states('sensor.date_time_iso')) %}
{% set nextUpdateTimestamp = as_timestamp(state_attr('sensor.oilfox_of7090002028_filllevelpercent', 'Next Measurement')) %}
{% set timeLeft = nextUpdateTimestamp - currentTime %}
{% set minutes = (timeLeft / 60)|int % 60 %}
{% set hours = (timeLeft / 3600)|int %}
{{ [hours, minutes]|join(':') }}
unit_of_measurement: hrs
The Sensor is pretty much working as I do expect…
There are just a few issues:
1: It is displaying only one digit instead of two:
– When the time left is for example:
10:36 hrs
5:12 hrs
0:5 hrs → in this case, I would like to display: 0:05 hrs
Also, another issue I’ve observed is:
- When time now - has past the “next Measurement” timestamp - then, the counter is increasing (as long as the integration did not update the sensor information)
How could I prevent that?
thanks and with best regards,
Christoph
