Quit smoking template

I tried to create a ‘quit smoking’ template and it works, but I think I can combine the two sensors codes into one code. Only I don’t know exactly how to do it.

My code:

> template:
>   - trigger:
>       - platform: time_pattern
>         # This will update every minute
>         minutes: '/1'
>     sensor:
>       # Keep track how much money I saved since I quit smoking
>       - name: Not Smoking Money Saved
>         state: >
>           {% set smoking_variables_json = {
>             "quitdate": "18.09.2021 00:00",
>             "priceperday": "9.00" | float,
>           } %}
>           {{ '€ %.2f'|format(( ( as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(strptime(smoking_variables_json.quitdate, "%d.%m.%Y %H:%M")) ) / 60 * (smoking_variables_json.priceperday / 24 / 60))) }}
> 
>       # Keep track how many days since I quit smoking
>       - name: Not Smoking Days
>         state: >
>           {% set smoking_variables_json = {
>             "quitdate": "18.09.2021 00:00",
>             "priceperday": "9.00" | float,
>           } %}
>           {{ ( ( as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(strptime(smoking_variables_json.quitdate, "%d.%m.%Y %H:%M")) ) / 86400 ) | round }}

For this application, there’s no need to use a Trigger-based Template Sensor with a Time Pattern Trigger. The template contains now() which will cause it to be evaluated every minute in a Template Sensor (i.e. without a 1-minute Time Pattern Trigger).

If you want to combine the two, make the second one report its value as an attribute of the Template Sensor.

Do you have an example?

I completely changed my template. Now It’s much shorter and optimized:

# To use variables, I use this HACS integration:
#
# https://github.com/Wibias/hass-variables
variable:
  quit_smoking_quit_date:
    value: "20.09.2021 00:00"
  quit_smoking_price_per_day:
    value: "9.00"

template:
  - sensor:
      # Keep track how much money I saved since I quit smoking and how many days I didn't smoke
      - name: Quit Smoking
        icon: mdi:smoking-off
        state: >
          {{ states('variable.quit_smoking_quit_date') }}
        attributes:
          quit_days: >
            {{ ( ( as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(strptime(states('variable.quit_smoking_quit_date'), "%d.%m.%Y %H:%M")) ) / 86400 ) | round }}
          money_saved: >
            {{ '€ %.2f'|format(( ( as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(strptime(states('variable.quit_smoking_quit_date'), "%d.%m.%Y %H:%M")) ) / 60 * (states('variable.quit_smoking_price_per_day')|float / 24 / 60))) }}


# This can be used as attribute:
# {{ state_attr('sensor.quit_smoking', 'quit_date') }}
# {{ state_attr('sensor.quit_smoking', 'money_saved') }}


#
# This is what I use as a card:
#
#- entity: sensor.quit_smoking
#  attribute: money_saved
#  icon: "mdi:currency-eur-off"
#  icon_height: 45px
#  hold_action:
#    action: none
#  tap_action:
#    action: none
#  show_icon: true
#  show_name: true
#  show_state: false
#  type: entity
#  name: "money saved:"

If you change the date’s format to something closer to the ISO standard, you can simplify the template even more (because you won’t need to use strptime).

variable:
  quit_smoking_quit_date:
    value: "2021-09-20 00:00"
  quit_smoking_price_per_day:
    value: "9.00"

template:
  - sensor:
      # Keep track how much money I saved since I quit smoking and how many days I didn't smoke
      - name: Quit Smoking
        icon: mdi:smoking-off
        state: >
          {{ states('variable.quit_smoking_quit_date') }}
        attributes:
          quit_days: >
            {{ (now() - as_datetime(states('variable.quit_smoking_quit_date'))|as_local).days }}
          money_saved: >
            {{ '€ %.2f'|format(((now() - as_datetime(states('variable.quit_smoking_quit_date'))|as_local).total_seconds() / 60 * (states('variable.quit_smoking_price_per_day')|float / 24 / 60))) }}

EDIT

Correction. Added reference to variable.

Nice change !!

Oops! Yes, I copied that from the version I used for testing in the Template Editor and overlooked to add your variable. I’ll fix the example.
