Sensor.ha_runtime_in_minutes gives date instead of minutes

Configuration
1

ha_runtine_in_minutes doesn’t return minutes, but rather the last boot time:

I’m trying to create an automation and when adding this code:

   - condition: numeric_state
     entity_id: sensor.ha_runtime_in_minutes
     above: 1

It does not work.

I retrieved the “sensor.ha_runtime_in_minutes” value, and it gives this: “2021-02-26T15:23:53.909416+01:00” instead of minutes, which correspond with the last boot date.

I’m running core-2021.2.3

Any help?

The sensor has been changed a few releases ago, to be the boot date instead of the minutes. This way the sensor only needs to update once on reboot and not every minute.
