Mushroom : how to display remaining time of a timer?

Tsar · June 21, 2022, 2:54pm

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 !

calisro · June 21, 2022, 6:35pm

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) }}

Tsar · June 22, 2022, 9:12am

Very nice !

JvH · November 11, 2022, 2:21pm

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
The long version works fine without.

{% 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) }}

calisro · November 11, 2022, 2:36pm

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) }}

Tsar · November 11, 2022, 5:39pm

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%}

calisro · November 11, 2022, 9:21pm

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 %}

calisro · November 12, 2022, 1:13pm

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 “” “”. Comes across so nasty. Really makes people not want to share.

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?

alpacalypse · February 6, 2023, 4:18pm

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?

alpacalypse · February 6, 2023, 4:31pm

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: >-

Tsar · February 7, 2023, 1:09pm

Create a new file templates.yaml and put this in the file:

In your configuration.yaml file add this :

template: !include templates.yaml
