After days of researching, reading and struggling with how to correctly retrieve the time a switch is in the ON state from the history statistics, I feel I’m no where close to getting the result I need. I really need to calculate / know the total number of seconds precisely a switch has been ON aft…

hi. how did you manage to change into seconds? original code: def pretty_duration(hours) Format a duration in days, hours, minutes, seconds. seconds = int(3600 hours) if days 0 return %dd %dh %dm % (days, hours, minutes) if hours 0 re…

In my opinion…Something like this is much better done on the switch device itself. Then report the data to HA as soon as the event has completed. If you were using a Tasmota switch you could do this with ‘rules’ I feel certain. Something like this I think? Rule 1 (triggered by the switch turning…

@novitibo Make a custom_component from history_stats.py by copying it to history_stats_in_seconds.py Then open history_stats_in_seconds.py and search for the following section and remark out: @staticmethod def pretty_duration(hours): """Format a duration in days, hours, minutes, s…

Unfortunately, that doesn’t work out nearly as accurate as the way I do it now. The reason for having history_stats_in_seconds custom component is so HASS can know in (near) real time when to flip the off switch. If for some reason, the switch doesn’t toggle off despite the command being sent, I …

@cowboy Ok it sounds like you have developed a fairly comprehensive control system for what sounds like a very critical task there. Any chance of posting a photo of your dosing pump installation? Do you have all your dosing equipment running on UPS protected supply as well? What about your Hass se…

Aha…I didn’t realise that was you…I have had a quick look at that project “Going to next level” but never really studied it all as it isn’t what I am doing…maybe I should have a better look I think. Never seen the “Peristaltic” one before so I’ll study up on both of them. Cheers!

how can I use the rules to get time how long the sensor measures energy > 0kWh? need to calculate pellets loader consumption. grams/minute tnx!

@novitibo In the rules document I believe there is an example which could be reworked to give you the time a sensor measures energy >0 I believe The trigger would need to be in the form: [SensorName]#[ValueName][comparison][value] So ON [SensorName]#state>0 DO Var1 %timestamp% ENDON And ON [Sens…

It works perfectly! Tasmota rules: Rule1 ON Energy#Power>0 DO Backlog Publish stat/loader/on {"Time":"%timestamp%"}; Rule2 1 ENDON Rule2 ON Energy#Power==0 DO Backlog Publish stat/loader/off {"Time":"%timestamp%"}; Rule2 0 ENDON Home assistant sensors: - platform: mqtt name: "loaderon" stat…

Need precise seconds of switch ON state from history statistics

And the UPS answer and the reason I ranked it a lower priority is explained here. In short, it only covers one element of risk failure. So I embraced a solution that could cover for more types of failures than just power failures, offering a higher return on investment with a better fail-proof design.
