Please add access to as_timestamp() function from python_script component

[Alexander_Stepanov]

It is very useful for automation to be able to calculate time from the last event. Of cause, I can write something like this function myself. But I would very much prefer if it will be access to the native function. Can prevent bugs.

datetime objects have a timestamp() method.

This python_script gets the timestamp of the current time, two different ways, and prints the two results to the log using logger.warning.

n = datetime.datetime.now()
ts1 = n.timestamp()

ts2 = datetime.datetime.now().timestamp()
logger.warning('Timestamp1: {}, Timestamp2: {}'.format(ts1, ts2))

Here’s the result:

If you need to find the difference between two times, you can use timedelta.

Thanks. But the problem is I need to calculate time passed from last state change. And I need as_timestamp() to convert last_updated property of a state.

Add time last changed to Python script

hi, How can i add the time of the last changed light switch to be displayed at the notification_message: lights_group = 'group.all_lights_only' excluded = ['light.custom_group_for_group', 'light.custom_group_for_lights_2'] entities_on = [] for entity_id in hass.states.get(lights_group).attributes['entity_id']: if hass.states.get(entity_id).state is 'on' and entity_id not in excluded: entities_on.append(hass.states.get(entity_id).attributes["friendly_name"]) if len(entities_on) > …

And BTW. I am trying to find maximum value of a list, but getting error when calling max(list_name) So hom can i get maximum?

Sorry, I don’t know why max and list functions aren’t available. I guess you’ll have to create your own functions to perform the two operations.
