'On ESPHome Counting and display pulses on gpio binary sensor and duration of time switched on'

ESPHome
1

On ESPHome with an ESP8266 i have a remote waterpump connected to a binary_sensor where it shows me the status of the pump ‘ON or OFF’
I try to figured out how to count the ‘ON/OFF’ status over 24hrs and the total ‘ON’ time in that period and to display the results but I was not successful.
I need help for this problem.

It’s a lot easier to do in home assistant with the history stats sensor:

3

Is it possible to program it in ESPhome (ESP8266) not in configuration.yaml?

You write a simple yaml configuration for each sensor/device you want to attach to the ESP and ESPHome compiles the result into an executable file.

You also have the option of including C code as lambdas.

There is provision to include conditional automations on the device. So it can run completely autonomously if you wish.

I did this for the already with several sensors on an ESP32 and ESP8266 there is my working setup. I want to expand the features on

 - **platform: gpio**
**    name: "Wasserpumpe Pin 19"**
**    pin: 19**

to record length of ON and total time. But maybe you have a sample available to do it because I am a newbie and not familiar with lambda and C programming.

Just do it in home assistant. Use the tools you have. Easy as anything.
