I wanted to show when a sensor was last updated (vibration sensor). I followed this previous forum post, but got errors when I used it in my configuration.yaml.
sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
dog_feed_time:
friendly_name: "Last Dog Feeding"
value_template: >
{%- set time = (as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(states.sensor.dog_feeding.last_changed)) | int %}
{%- set minutes = ((time % 3600) // 60) %}
{%- set minutes = '{}minutes'.format(minutes) if minutes > 0 else '' %}
{%- set hours = ((time % 86400) // 3600) %}
{%- set hours = '{}hours '.format(hours) if hours > 0 else '' %}
{%- set days = (time // 86400) %}
{%- set days = '{}days '.format(days) if days > 0 else '' %}
{{ 'Less than 1 minute' if time < 60 else days + hours + minutes }} ago
The error message appears at the top of the file editor plugin:
missed comma between flow collection entries at line 139, column 10:

^
I haven’t been able to spot what it’s complaining about. Line 139 is where I start:
{%- set time = (as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(states.sensor.dog_feeding.last_changed)) | int %}
