Problems writing data to file

Hi, I’m trying to write one simple sensor value on regular basis to a file. Based on other examples in the forum (Export sensor data to text file) this looks simple, but I am not able to get this working. It seems it is never started nor the file created. Running Hassio 0.79.3. Any ideas of what I do wrong would be highly appreciated. configuration.yaml as follows: notify: - name: filenotify platform: file filename: hybelpower.csv timestamp: true automation: - alias: sensor_v…

what i need is i have a ultrasonic sensor connected with esphome which tells the water in a tank in litre,

now what i need is a automation which can send the water in that tank after every hour to a single file which can be readable .

how to do that

In the link provided, change this:

minutes: '/5'
seconds: 00

to this:

hours: '/1'

and it will trigger every hour. This is explained in the Time Pattern Trigger.

Then change this:

message: "{{ states.sensor.qubino_zmnhxdx_3phase_smart_meter_energy_2.state }}"

so it contains the name of your ultrasonic measuring sensor.

You’ll probably also want to modify the file name defined here:

notify:
  - name: filenotify
    platform: file
    filename: hybelpower.csv
    timestamp: true
