The other sensor called time is:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: time_date
    display_options:
      - 'time'

Good call, forgot to include that in the sensor list. I’ve updated my post.

This is what I have - however the time_to_leave_for_work sensor is always true

Sorry im missing something and really appreciate your help

          {{ ( t.hour + t.minute / 60 ) > ( 9 - states.sensor.time_to_work.state | int / 60) }}

            Heavy
          {% elif states("sensor.time_to_work") | int < 30 and states("sensor.time_to_work") | int >= 25 %}
            Moderate
          {% elif states("sensor.time_to_work") | int < 25 and states("sensor.time_to_work") | int >= 10 %}
            Normal
          {% else %}
            unknown
          {% endif %}

Mine is true from the moment it becomes true until midnight. Then it becomes false until… the

{{ ( t.hour + t.minute / 60 ) > ( 9 - states.sensor.time_to_work.state | int / 60) }}

is true again. Basically once a day it becomes true that the it’s time to leave for work. If that makes sense.
