Something that has always annoyed me is how the “last-changed” attribute is handled after a restart. I understand why it’s changing as it’s technically unavailable but it’s not very helpful when you’re using it in the UI. On my security dashboard I only really care about the time a window state chan…

Made a simple version using a trigger based template sensor which stores the last change of all entities you list in the trigger. template: - trigger: - platform: state entity_id: - input_boolean.test not_to: - unavailable - unknown not_…

That line is how you get the data out of the template sensor again. You can use it where you want, but if course that place needs to allow template sensors

I’ve seen a few spam bots on here recently, if it’s obviously not helpful it’s best just press report as spam on the post.

Can I give this topic another nudge? I have a suggestion that maybe makes this more likely to be implemented: Add two fields to the states table in the database : last_communicated_state: This will normally just reflect the same value that is in state. However: It can only be unknown upon senso…

Is WTH running again this year? It might be coming around that time to get this yearly widely requested feature raised again!

Ah that’s a shame, thanks for confirming though!

Persistent version of "last-changed" for the UI?

Oops, wrong topic. Sorry about that. I meant this topic

FYI it’s 3 properties on the state object. last_changed, last_updated, and last_reported.
