Problem converting a value

Configuration
1

I am trying to take a number and get the formatting correct. I get this as an example:

11495:09:33:20 - The original pre-converted value would be in hundredths of a second.

- platform: snmp
    scan_interval: 90
    name: ups_uptime
    host: 192.168.10.14
    baseoid: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 
    accept_errors: true
    value_template: >
      {% set total_seconds = value | int / 100 %}
      {% set days = total_seconds // (24 * 3600) %}
      {% set hours = (total_seconds % (24 * 3600)) // 3600 %}
      {% set minutes = (total_seconds % 3600) // 60 %}
      {% set seconds = total_seconds % 60 %}
      {{ days }} days, {{ hours }} hours, {{ minutes }} minutes, {{ seconds }} seconds
    unit_of_measurement: time

Not quite sure what is wrong with this and admittedly found it online and trying to make it work for what I would want.

Thanks

Try it like this. As a note time is not a unit of measure and your actual output is a string not a time. Also, need to split your value to get the first digits before doing your calcs.

I am assuming only the first set of digits is the time you want in 100ths sec.

- platform: snmp
    scan_interval: 90
    name: ups_uptime
    host: 192.168.10.14
    baseoid: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 
    accept_errors: true
    value_template: >
        {% set total_seconds = value.split(":")[0] | int(0) %}
        {% set days = total_seconds // (24 * 3600) | int(0) %}
        {% set hours = (total_seconds % (24 * 3600)) // 3600 %}
        {% set minutes = (total_seconds % 3600) // 60 %}
        {% set seconds = total_seconds % 60 %}
        {{ days }} days, {{ hours }} hours, {{ minutes }} minutes, {{ seconds }} seconds

An example of what should be converted is this:

993574200 - this would be ever changing over time. The only way it would start over is if the UPS itself was restarted. I hope this helps. I will try your modified code and let you know I make out.

This is the raw data before conversion

So how do you get from the example on your first post to this. And how do you see converting a datetime (in your above second post) to a time delta (what it looks like you are trying to output?

And what exactly is your issue?

I read in the value from an oid using Paessler SNMP Tester. That value is expressed as a ASN_TIMETICKS.

Not sure if this helps but here is the HA error using modified code

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

You still have unit of measure in your sensor def.

7

Ok, so based on your second example and not the first example, your def is correct except you need to remove the unit of measure line.

And if you just want a time delta value which will look like this…

You can just do

- platform: snmp
    scan_interval: 90
    name: ups_uptime
    host: 192.168.10.14
    baseoid: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 
    accept_errors: true
    value_template: >
        {{ timedelta(value / 100 / 3600 / 24) }}

sorry got pulled away. this does look cleaner than what the web interface reports. I will play around with this. thank you for assistance.
