Anyone else having issues after updating to 2021.12?
All my sensors are unavailable allthough everything is there in my mqtt broker
Logs are saying :

  • nvalid state message ‘{“timestamp”:1629904884,“timestamp_friendly”:“8/25/2021, 5:21:24 PM”,“severity”:[{“value”:“3 months”,“color”:“Red”,“seconds”:7889238},{“value”:“2 months”,“color”:“Orange”,“seconds”:5259492}]}’ from ‘homeassistant/sensor/trimmen/state’

Same problem here

83

Could it be related to below on 2021.12?
“Timestamp/Date device class value changes
When using datetime and date device classes in sensors, the returned native value must (respectively) be a datetime or date Python object.”

84

Anyone got a fix for this?

85

unfortunatly not yet… also looking for a solution… the idea of the plugin is great; but it’s no longer maintained…

86

Fixed in v1.3.0. Details here.

Hello All,

This is great add on. However I have been having some issues which I have spent some time over but just can’t figure it out. Please help!!

  1. How can I remove an entity in MQTT once it is created. I can’t use MQTT explorer

  1. When I add a button on one it shows " 52 years" well if I can delete it then problem solved

Thanks for the help. Help me get some sleep :slight_smile:

@snash why cant you use mqtt explorer? it would fix the delete thing…

91

I got also a problem:

Im getting following errors
Invalid state message ‘{“timestamp”:1624002370,“timestamp_friendly”:“6/18/2021, 9:46:10 AM”,“severity”:[{“value”:“12 months”,“color”:“Red”,“seconds”:31556952},{“value”:“11 months”,“color”:“Orange”,“seconds”:28927206}]}’ from ‘homeassistant/sensor/ontkalker/state’

Not sure why it happens with some and some not.
If i look at those that show the error, the state is unknown, although its been 12 months since the button was pushed…

Any ideas?

92

Yes I finally figured out how to use MQTT Explorer and fixed it. Thanks

Still a heavy user of check button card always keeping my eyes open for standard integration in home assistant with extended possibilities

94

Hi, I am using the button but I have a problem with the unit_of_measurement. I am using days but the card shows as output a week ago. I would like to know precisely if it is 7 days or if it is 8 days and so on. At the moment it just switched to weeks as a unit.

95

time to move on… will migrate my tasks now to activity-manager (GitHub - pathofleastresistor/activity-manager: A Home Assistant custom component to manage recurring activities.)

96

I am struggling with this, what object do you use in Node Red to update the sensor. I tried template

97

If anyone can help I would be grateful. After executing the flow the sensor does not get updated. What am I doing wrong? I have googled CHAT GPT everything…
Payload:

msg.payload : string[303]
"{"timestamp":1695481200,"timestamp_unix":1694611332,"timestamp_friendly":"9/13/2023, 9:22:12 AM","severity":[{"value":"2 days","color":"Red","seconds":172800},{"value":"1 days","color":"Yellow","seconds":86400}],"device_class":"timestamp","icon":"mdi:checkbox-marked","friendly_name":"rem_empty_vacuum"}"

This is my flow in node red

This my function from @Gluwc

// Define entity_id
const entityId = "sensor.rem_empty_vacuum";

// Get global object
const haObject = global.get("homeassistant");

// Get attributes object from entity
let payloadObject = haObject.homeAssistant.states[entityId].attributes;

// Get current timestamp in seconds
const currentTime = Math.trunc(Date.now() / 1000);

// Modify timestamp in payloadObject.
payloadObject.timestamp = currentTime;

// Create string from object
msg.payload = JSON.stringify(payloadObject);

return msg;

Sensor does not get updated

Never mind I read through need to add state at the end
