It uses seven input_boolean entities, one for each day of the week. You have to create them.
You can create an input_boolean via the UI using the menu (Configuration > Helpers) or by defining them in the configuration.yaml file.
For more information: Input Boolean
THANK YOU!!! you saved my day!
Thanks @123 to clarify
it is exactly what i should have write at startā¦ 
@johnsnow0 you will need also 1 input_datetime and 1 input_number according to your errors
Hello,
please help once again. Home assistant show no errors, automation starting at given time, but ātime remainingā always become āunavailableā then spinkler is ON and it cause that sprinkler wonāt stop

remove what i put , since i need to read betterā¦
Not sure, i understood you wellā¦
Hi tom_I. What do I need to do if I want to change the uptime from minutes to seconds. Thank you very much!
Uptime?
Did you mean run time?
If so, remove the / 60 from the time remaining template sensors and increase the size of the input booleans.
Thanks. Yes, it mean runtime. I removed the / 60 from the time remaining template sensors. But I do not understand how to increase the size of the input booleans? My need is that the pump works for less than 60s. Can you guide me in more detail?
Sorry, meant input numbers.
Hi you. I fixed it, however time remaining doesnāt decrease by seconds. It drops to zero after running time. Help me fix this!

Are you willing to share the lovelace cards? The day toggles look nice.
They are custom button cards.

Thanks a lot!
ESPHome now has a specific sprinkler controller component that makes most of the programming very simple (after i spent a week writing esphome code to do the same). I just converted over to that integration and it is working great. Hereās a shot of what iāve come up with for my dashboard:
I chose to use a lot of āfold-entity-rowsā to make it nice and compact on mobile.
I have switch to Tasmota now and itās been rock solidā¦
Hi @tom_l , your config and lovelace ui is perfect. Im banging my head for one week now until i stumble upon this thread, i was trying to do all the automations from espHome directly to work without homeassitant (in case the server is down) but i gave up.
Can you please share all the files for your irrigation system, i see on page 8 separate sections for automations binary sensors etcā¦ are they all in homeassistant as separate .yaml files or are they programed in espHome device?
I want to be able to add hours to wait, let say 48hours and run for x minutes.
Any help is much appriciated
Thanks in advance
Edit: I figured out how to implement the code.
Can anyone please help on how can i add 48h timer to this configuration that is on page 8.
Not using MQTT but esphome sprinkler controlerā¦
as itās garden bed Iām not using days settingsā¦ they need to water every day
Iāll add the moisture sensors later this week.
I love how clean that is
