I would really like to see the last state change of an entity retained through a reboot. My use case: I have a binary sensor talking to a remote Hikvision camera’s PIR motion in my mother’s apartment. I know I can drill down into the state history, but it would really be nice to know that the at a…

Could we provide a whip round and crowdfund the development of this? 100 votes @ 10 euros each would give us 2-3 days of core dev time?

I would definitely pay €10 in order to have this fixed :wink:

This is my number one gripe with HA. Since you constantly have to reboot HA when making any config changes the date attributes are updated also. This basically makes the last modified and last changed values for all sensors useless. I don’t understand why this can’t be easily fixed? I think this is…

I think there are actually two (sort of) separate but related problems here. Saving and restoring the state of the sensor can be done but requires each integration to write custom code and inherit from the RestoreEntity class in HASS. The problem with trying to make a general solution is that the …

If anyone wishes to submit a PR to address this issue, it might save you some time and effort to first propose it in the Architecture repo and get feedback from core developers. The reason why I suggest you do that is because it’s my impression (and just my impression) that this issue isn’t seen a…

[image] Last changed/Last updated Also, restarting Home Assistant is not a common thing so I wouldn’t worry about it That’s a good one :joy:

I didn’t get that impression. Frenck explained why it was closed: … as you have clearly shown not to be implementing this and is merely an extension of the topics already listed in the openings post. This is not a feature request forum. If anyone wants to implement this; We are happy to see an a…

Some sensors need to retain last data, some do not. So we need a parameter(an attribute of sensor) to indicate whether we need to keep the last real data at all. But, first it’s enough if we can get the last real data of a sensor from the template directly - platform: template sensors: weigh…

it did not work for me. Maybe this is not working because of mariadb. is this line still valid for data from mariadb? {{ history_query_first(“SELECT state FROM states WHERE entity_id = ‘sensor.weight_your_name’ and state <> ‘unknown’ and state <> ‘unavailable’ ORDER BY created DESC LIMIT 1”), ‘sta…
