Hello,
I want to display the remaining time of a timer, but…
I tried this :
type: custom:mushroom-chips-card
chips:
- type: back
- type: entity
entity: timer.countdown_streaming_camera_garagedeur
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: script.sensor_garagedeur_start_countdown_streaming
data: {}
target: {}
use_entity_picture: false
- type: template
entity: timer.countdown_streaming_camera_garagedeur
content: >-
{{ state_attr('timer.countdown_streaming_camera_garagedeur', 'remaining')
}}
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: script.sensor_garagedeur_start_countdown_streaming
data: {}
target: {}
The first gives me the state (“active/idle”), the second the duration of the timer.
This gives me what I want, but is not mushroom
type: entities
entities:
- entity: timer.countdown_streaming_camera_garagedeur
name: Streaming garage door

You’d have to look at the end time when its active and calculate it.

So I have to made a sensor ?
What should I use as start time (now, I made use of the time when script which start the timer was last triggered) ?
- trigger:
- platform: time_pattern
seconds: "/1"
sensor:
- name: timer_countdown_streaming_camera_garagedeur_remaining
state: >
{%- if (states['timer.countdown_streaming_camera_garagedeur'].attributes.duration == "none") or (states['timer.countdown_streaming_camera_garagedeur'].state == "idle") -%}
{{ 0 | int }}
{%- else -%}
{% set duration_seconds = ((states['timer.countdown_streaming_camera_garagedeur'].attributes.duration).split(':')[0] |int * 60 * 60) + ((states['timer.countdown_streaming_camera_garagedeur'].attributes.duration).split(':')[1] |int * 60 ) + ((states['timer.countdown_streaming_camera_garagedeur'].attributes.duration).split(':')[2] |int) %}
{% set last_triggered =
state_attr('script.sensor_garagedeur_start_countdown_streaming','last_triggered') or
now() %}
{{ (duration_seconds - ( now() - last_triggered).total_seconds()) | timestamp_custom('%H:%M:%S', 0) }}
{%- endif -%}

{% set timer = 'timer.kitchen_auto_off_timer' %}
{% if state_attr(timer,'finishes_at') %}
{{(as_timestamp(state_attr(timer,'finishes_at'))-as_timestamp(now()))|int}}
{% else %}
0
{% endif%}
Seconds left on the timer for example…
EDIT: Handle None

That’s a lot easier
Thank you very much, you made my day !

This would also work and is shorter. shrugs (Fixed )
{% set f = state_attr('timer.auto_arm_time', 'finishes_at') %}
{{ iif(f != None,(as_timestamp(f,0)-as_timestamp(now()))|int,0) }}

I believe this short version requires the addition of a default value for the as_timestamp function on the state_attr(timer,'finishes_at') to avoid an error when the timer is idle and therefor has no finishes_at
{% set timer = 'timer.kitchen_auto_off_timer' %}
{{ iif(state_attr(timer,'finishes_at'),(as_timestamp(state_attr(timer,'finishes_at'),0)-as_timestamp(now()))|int,0) }}

Yes that’s correct.
I believe this fixes it though.
{% set f = state_attr('timer.auto_arm_time', 'finishes_at') %}
{{ iif(f != None,(as_timestamp(f,0)-as_timestamp(now()))|int,0) }}
or
{% set timer = 'timer.auto_arm_time' %}
{% set f = state_attr(timer, 'finishes_at') %}
{{ iif(f != None,(as_timestamp(f,0)-as_timestamp(now()))|int,0) }}
or which I think is most readable.
{% set t = 'timer.auto_arm_time' %}
{% set f = state_attr(t, 'finishes_at') %}
{% set s = (as_timestamp(f,0)-as_timestamp(now()))|int %}
{{ iif(f != None,s,0) }}
This will handle if the timer is PAUSED as well rather than just showing zero if it was paused.
{% set t = 'timer.kitchen_auto_off_timer' %}
{% set fin = state_attr(t, 'finishes_at') %}
{% set rem = state_attr(t, 'remaining') %}
{% set fsec = as_timestamp(fin,0)-as_timestamp(now()) %}
{% set rsec = as_timedelta("0 " ~ rem).seconds %}
{{ iif(fin == None,iif(rem == None,0,rsec),fsec)|int(0) }}

That’s long ago…
I made this :
{% set timer = 'timer.countdown_streaming_camera_garagedeur' %}
{% if (states[timer].attributes.duration == "none") or (states[timer].state == "idle") %}
{{0| timestamp_custom('%H:%M:%S', 0)}}
{% else %}
{{((as_timestamp(state_attr(timer,'finishes_at'))-as_timestamp(now()))|int)| timestamp_custom('%H:%M:%S', 0)}}
{% endif%}

Tsar:
I made this
I think that fails with a paused timer
This won’t.
{% set t = 'timer.kitchen_auto_off_timer' %}
{% set state = states(t) %}
{% set finish = state_attr(t, 'finishes_at') %}
{% set remain = state_attr(t, 'remaining') %}
{% set seconds = (as_timestamp(finish,0)-as_timestamp(now()))|int %}
{% set left = iif(finish == None,iif(remain == None,0,as_timedelta('0 ' ~remain).seconds),seconds) %}
{{ left| timestamp_custom('%H:%M:%S', 0) }}
EDIT: Corrected mistake.

Correct…I didn’t have the problem cause my timer never pauses
For the sport I tried your code, but I get an error when the timer is paused :
I changed the last line and now it’s always working
- name: timer_countdown_streaming_camera_garagedeur_remaining
state: >
{% set t = 'timer.countdown_streaming_camera_garagedeur' %}
{% set state = states(t) %}
{% set finish = state_attr(t, 'finishes_at') %}
{% set remain = state_attr(t, 'remaining') %}
{% set seconds = (as_timestamp(finish,0)-as_timestamp(now()))|int %}
{% set left = iif(finish == None,iif(remain != None,remain,0),seconds) %}
{% if finish == None and remain != None %}
{{ left }}
{% else %}
{{ left| timestamp_custom('%H:%M:%S', 0) }}
{% endif %}

I pasted the wrong thing. This is what I meant to paste. Had multiple browsers open.
{% set t = 'timer.kitchen_auto_off_timer' %}
{% set state = states(t) %}
{% set finish = state_attr(t, 'finishes_at') %}
{% set remain = state_attr(t, 'remaining') %}
{% set seconds = (as_timestamp(finish,0)-as_timestamp(now()))|int %}
{% set left = iif(finish == None,iif(remain == None,0,as_timedelta('0 ' ~remain).seconds),seconds) %}
{{ left| timestamp_custom('%H:%M:%S', 0) }}
Regardless, what’s with all the “
But thanks for the correction as the entire point of my post was to correct my code for the next reader.

I joke a lot in life, which “written” is sometimes misinterpreted. So sorry if it came across that way, I really didn’t mean to hurt you or make fun of you in any way.
Meanwhile I tested it and it works fine ! Thanks !

The template is working but refreshes only every 30 sec. on the frontend. Any soltion to show the seconds in realtime?

Add a trigger :
- trigger:
- platform: time_pattern
seconds: "/1"
sensor:
- name: timer_countdown_streaming_camera_garagedeur_remaining
state: >
{% set t = 'timer.countdown_streaming_camera_garagedeur' %}
{% set state = states(t) %}
{% set finish = state_attr(t, 'finishes_at') %}
{% set remain = state_attr(t, 'remaining') %}
{% set seconds = (as_timestamp(finish,0)-as_timestamp(now()))|int %}
{% set left = iif(finish == None,iif(remain == None,0,as_timedelta('0 ' ~remain).seconds),seconds) %}
{{ left| timestamp_custom('%H:%M:%S', 0) }}

Why it is so complicated, the normal entity card shows the remaining time by default. Can the remaining time not be provided as secondary info?

Curious about this… I noticed the attributes reported on my timer are completely wrong. Is there a setting somewhere in HA that I missed?
For example, my coffee timer is currently active, with almost 2 hours remaining:
…but if I look at the attributes, the “remaining time” is the same as the “duration,” and the “finishes_at” time is this afternoon (in about 7 hours):
Thoughts? Ideas?
I’d love to add this to my code; where would I include it? Does this go in my config somewhere? The formatting doesn’t look like any of my other sensor templates:
- platform: template
sensors:
sensor_name:
value_template: >-

Create a new file templates.yaml and put this in the file:
In your configuration.yaml file add this :
template: !include templates.yaml
:
” “
”. Comes across so nasty. Really makes people not want to share.
