Sensor with state_class: total increasing is reseting every day

Configuration
1

Hey guys,

i’ve got a step sensor from my fitbit (sensor.fitbit1_steps) which is reseting ever day. I want to create an additional sensor which sums up all steps without reseting jusing the total_increase state class. So i’ve created this template sensor in my configuration.yaml:

template:
- sensor:
name: “Schritte summiert”
unit_of_measurement: “steps”
state: “{{ states(‘sensor.fitbit1_steps’) }}”
state_class: total_increasing

The sensor is working and is shown up in developer tools with the “state_class: total_increasing” but the sensor is acting exactly like the sensor.fitbit1_steps and resets every day.

Any ideas?

total_increasing means that is it reset whenever a value is receiveds that is smaller (or zero) than the last value. This will not work (sorry, do not know what will work)
