Screen Time/ Playing Time of an Apple TV

[floslight (Torsten Otto)]

Hi, I have been reading the community in order to learn to create a Template Sensor within Home Assistant to identify the state = playing of an Apple TV and calculate the Screen Time in minutes.

As such I have added the following code in a Template Sensor:

{{ (state_attr('media_player.kuche_2 ', ‘media_duration’) | selectattr(‘state’, ‘eq’, ‘playing’) | sum) / 60 | round(2) }}

Somehow, while the media player is now on, i.e. playing, nothing counts up.

Any ideas/ mistakes you can spot or a simple reference to a best practice?

Thanks!

I use Measureit to calculate viewing time on my TV if that’s what your after gives me this.

hope this helps

Thanks a lot, this is exactly what I was looking for!

Can you please share the config for this?

I don’t use it anymore. I don’t see why it wouldn’t still work.
