Icon color

Configuration Frontend
1

Hello. Sorry for my English. Maybe someone can suggest a solution. It is necessary to change the color of the icon depending on the state of the object and the time the object is in this state. Let’s say a temperature sensor: if the temperature is more than 25°C for 10 minutes, then the icon is orange, if the temperature is more than 25°C for 20 minutes, then it is red.

Changing color depending on the state is understandable. How to take into account the time, how long the object was in this state?

I understand correctly that you need to create a sensor template, then two sensor history stats?

template:

  • sensor:
    • name: “temperature1”
      state: “{{ (states(‘sensor.temperature’) | float ) >= 25 }}”

sensor:

  • platform: history_stats
    name: temperature2
    entity_id: sensor.temperature1
    state: “True”
    type: count
    start: ???
    duration: “00:10:00”

  • platform: history_stats
    name: temperature3
    entity_id: sensor.temperature1
    state: “True”
    type: count
    start: ???
    duration: “00:20:00”

It’s not clear what to indicate at the start sensors history stats.

I think a history_stats sensor will not help here.
My bad.
The HS sensor can give a TOTAL time when some condition is met.
Another idea: what about a trigger-based binary sensor? A “state” trigger can use a “for” condition.
So - assume you got 2 trigger-based binary sensors for 10 minutes & 20 minutes; each sensor becomes OFF if a temperature < 25.
Then in card-mod you can check these binary sensors.

how about a single state automation like this?

trigger:
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.t_h_sensor_2_temperature
    for:
      minutes: 10
    above: 25
    id: "1"
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.t_h_sensor_2_temperature
    for:
      minutes: 20
    id: "2"
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.t_h_sensor_2_temperature
    below: 25
    id: "0"
condition: []
action:
  - service: input_number.set_value
    data:
      value: >
        {{ trigger.id}} 
    target:
      entity_id: input_number.test_number

(take as proto cocept only, i didn’t test it)

you can then set the icon color based off input_number.test_number
