Where did you get this yaml code from? Did this come from AI/LLM, as the spacing is not in yaml format, or has the forum software munged your quoting when you used the </>?

3

yes somehow the spacing got changed i copied it directly out of esphome editor in homeassistant

You are using “blockqoute”, you want to use “preformatted text”

I tried another way but i also cant get this to work/compile

7

Is this generated by AI?

According to the ESPHome API, the proper way to get the list of valves is id(lawn_sprinkler_ctrlr).valve_

https://api-docs.esphome.io/classesphome_1_1sprinkler_1_1_sprinkler#a1070ffeb9226dc080bdf74792c94724a

Anyway, if you want more help, please specify the actual error you’re getting.

.time_remaining_active_valve()
Have a look at the example on docs:

    display:
      - platform: ...
        # ...display configuration...
        lambda: |-
          if (id(lawn_sprinkler_ctrlr).time_remaining_active_valve().has_value()) {
            // the controller is running, print the number of seconds remaining
            it.printf(0, 0, "Time left: %u sec.", id(lawn_sprinkler_ctrlr).time_remaining_active_valve().value());
          } else {
            // the controller is NOT running
            it.print(0, 0, "Idle");
          }

Please i need help to display the “zone time remaining” per zone…any solution will help to so…i have tried a lot of options but cant get it working.

this is my working code so far. I cant get the time remainingg to work.

I have added the following code. The entities work but it does not display the time.

I am new to home-assistant. I do not know how to interpret this link you send me?

https://api-docs.esphome.io/classesphome_1_1sprinkler_1_1_sprinkler#a1070ffeb9226dc080bdf74792c94724a

Try like this (state 2 is active):

- platform: template
    name: "Zone 2 Time Remaining"
    unit_of_measurement: "s"
    accuracy_decimals: 0
    update_interval: 1s
    lambda: |-
      auto v = id(lawn_sprinkler_ctrlr)->valve(1);
      
      if (v->state() == 2) {
        return v->time_remaining();
      }
      return 0;

Many thanks for the help. I will action on Monday i am away from home at the moment.
