Can someone please help me set this up? to many information in here, don’t know where to start X 
Hi, as I’m the original creator of this thread, I don’t think the other contributors will get notifications. My basic sensor works fine but I don’t have the roll over pages.
Try reading through EventuallyFixed posts and if you have specific questions you’ll have to tag them.
It would be great if we could get this as something you could add through HACS but we’d need a developer to take it on.
Hope you manage to get it sorted

Based on those automation, can we set another automation for example whenever I print something I’ll get a notification on my phone saying “you have printed total 10 pages”?
It would be much easier to use the pages remaining sensor. Otherwise you’d need a new sensor that is looking at how many pages you’ve printed during your current period.
Just add another action to the Automation using the notify integration
service: notify.mobile_app_what_ever_yours_is_called
data:
message: You have {{states('sensor.pages_left')}} pages remaining.

Hello,
In your input sometimes says “add manualy” but where do i add this? and do i need to add the rollover pages every month manually?
edit:
this is how i have it now
I also can not seem to get the basic counter sensor to work, my ‘days remain’ says -18000 :S
Hi, I’m using the very basic setup that just shows pages remaining. I didn’t implement EventuallyFixed full solution, as I don’t have any roll-over pages. Hopefully he will get back to you and help you along.
For pages remaining, you have to include an offset, to get the correct starting value. Maybe it’s the same for days remaining?

Hello,
I am trying to make this for my HA to, but i have the same problem as here, can you maybe help me with how you solved it?
Bye! I apologize if you find it hard to understand me but I use google translate.
yes, everything works fine for me.
I am attaching all my working code to you.
try it and see if it works for you

I use the official hp integration to receive the number of printed pages and ink levels

Hi!
I think it is working! 
May need to wait for the next cycle to show correct values.
Thank you very much!
you must already set the correct printouts, otherwise next month you will accumulate more pages than the real ones.
go to the instantink site, check how many pages you have already printed this month and subtract them from the item “printed pages total at month start”
and set “rollower allowance pages” to 0
1 Like
I’m glad you got this sorted. I regret that I’ve been busy elsewhere so could not reply until now.
The initial setup will be as @acuplush just said: Go to the HP site and get the number of pages printed this month, then set the ‘Printed Pages Total at month start’ to the ‘Total Pages Printed’ minus that number. After that the page counts will look after themselves.
I am on the free tier and I did find a bug in that scenario, for transferring the ‘Rollover Allowance Pages’ into the following month. On the free tier there is no rollover from the standard allowance, but only from the paid part where over the fifteen pages per month are used.
As a quick fix for my situation I set the action of the automation for this part as follows:
action:
- service: input_number.set_value
entity_id: input_number.hp_envy_5540_pages_rollover_allowance
data_template:
value: '{% if states(''sensor.hp_envy_5540_pages_overprint_remaining'')|int > 0 %}
{% if states(''sensor.hp_envy_5540_pages_overprint_remaining'')|int + states(''sensor.hp_envy_5540_pages_rollover_remaining'')|int < 15 %}
{{ states(''sensor.hp_envy_5540_pages_overprint_remaining'')|int + states(''sensor.hp_envy_5540_pages_rollover_remaining'')|int }}
{% else %}
15
{% endif %}
{% else %}
{{ states(''sensor.hp_envy_5540_pages_rollover_remaining'')|int }}
{% endif %}'
Obviously that is unsuitable for the paid plans, and the workaround I used previously was each month to check the History graph, then manually correct the rollover value.
I think what this really needs is something like a drop-down list to select the HP Instant Ink Tier, and then this part of the automation can refer to it to decide what to do within the rollover logic of the automation. I’ll take a look at how this can be done in the coming weeks.

I did, thanks 
Thank you it shows correct now!
One last question, the past month i have 2 rollovers left, do i need to set them manually now somewhere?
Yes, set the two rollover pages in ‘Rollover Allowance Pages’, because that is the number of rollover pages you have (remaining) for that month.

I have amended the automation and card to fix the rollover pages bug I mentioned above, so that the rollover pages for the free plan will correctly work. Although the logic looks OK (to me) I haven’t had a lot of time to test it. My rollover date is in a couple of weeks though…
- Added a new Select List to choose ‘Free’ or ‘Paid’
- Tweaked the logic in the automation to use the Select List

Your work on this has been superb!! Maybe a HACS 2022 integration could be considered 
I am trying to set the automation in a separate file in my automation folder/printer.
But i keep getting an error, i don’t know why because the code is the same, just a bit more sorted.

Error:
Logger: homeassistant.config
Source: config.py:464
First occurred: 20:20:28 (4 occurrences)
Last logged: 20:23:44
Invalid config for [automation]: invalid template (TemplateSyntaxError: expected token 'end of print statement', got 'integer') for dictionary value @ data['condition'][0]['value_template']. Got None. (See ?, line ?).
You maybe know what i did wrong?
Hmmm… The error says, '(4 occurrences)` and there are four times that the ‘\n’ is in the Value statement. So I suggest you start by removing the ‘\n’.
If that does not work, I suggest you start with an unmodified version, then do the ‘sorts’ in smaller chunks, checking each time.
And the golden rule: Always start by taking a backup.
