Reformatting the time remaining to make sense

Configuration Frontend

Hi All,

I have a Maytronics Dolphin Active X6 pool robot cleaner and I’m using the MyDolphin Plus integration. The integration presents me with a nice little card:

I want to present this cycle time left (time remaining) in my dynamic dashboard, however using the following code:

  - entity: vacuum.roger
    attribute: message
    type: custom:secondaryinfo-entity-row
    secondary_info: |-
      <i><style='color:gray'>[[
       sensor.roger_cycle_time_left ]]m remaining</i>

But the time doesn’t come up how I want it to (ideally, it would say 1hr 24m remaining) – see how it looks at the moment:

Really appreciate any help.

use |timestamp_custom('%H:%M')

Thank you.
Where exactly do I put that? I tried this and it didn’t work, sorry.

  - entity: vacuum.roger
    attribute: message
    type: custom:secondaryinfo-entity-row
    secondary_info: |-
      <i><style='color:gray'>[[
       sensor.roger_cycle_time_left |timestamp_custom('%H:%M')]]m remaining</i>

Yes, that should do it

It says Template Matching Failed

Try this.

    secondary_info: |-
      <i><style='color:gray'>{{
       states('sensor.roger_cycle_time_left') |int|timestamp_custom('%H:%M') }}m remaining</i>

We are SO close!
Its just making 1 hr report as 11hrs

Grateful for your help

Can you please post the output from the states tab in the developer tools and the screenshot above from close to each other in time.
I need to see what the number looks like in the developer tools to figure out what is actually being reported.

This is what my dashboard currently says, using the following code:

- entity: vacuum.roger
    attribute: message
    type: custom:secondaryinfo-entity-row
    secondary_info: |-
      <i><style='color:gray'>{{
       states('sensor.roger_cycle_time_left') |int|timestamp_custom('%H:%M') }} remaining</i>

And then this is the corresponding dev tool state:
State: 5224.391271

state_class: measurement

start_time: “2024-02-07T19:42:40”

expected_end_time: “2024-02-07T21:12:40”

unit_of_measurement: s

device_class: duration

icon: mdi:clock-time-one

friendly_name: Roger Cycle Time Left

10

Ok it is not a timestamp as such.

{{- ((states('sensor.roger_cycle_time_left')|float(0))/3600)|int -}}:
{%- if ((states('sensor.roger_cycle_time_left')|float(0))%3600/60<10) -%}
  0
{%- endif -%}
{{- ((states('sensor.roger_cycle_time_left')|float(0))%3600/60)|int -}}
11

Thank you!
Perfect, down to the minute.

Any idea why I cannot add another sensor that shows me the cleaning mode?
I just added it above your code:

  - entity: vacuum.roger
    attribute: message
    type: custom:secondaryinfo-entity-row
    secondary_info: >-
      <i><style='color:gray'> Mode: [[ sensor.roger_s_mode ]] <br>

      {{- ((states('sensor.roger_cycle_time_left')|float(0))/3600)|int -}}h: {%-
      if ((states('sensor.roger_cycle_time_left')|float(0))%3600/60<10) -%}
        0
      {%- endif -%} {{-
      ((states('sensor.roger_cycle_time_left')|float(0))%3600/60)|int -}}m
      remaining</i>

The use of [[ indicate a template mode.
I have no idea how that works.
I prefer to use {{ states('sensor…
