Slider to set timer (minutes)

Configuration
5

For now it’s not possible to use a value from a input_slider as a template for delay timers. I think it’s on planning, but not implemented yet.

In 0.25 luckily it’s added :slight_smile:

timer_off_lrm: alias: "Ceiling light living room timer" sequence: - delay: minutes: '{{ input_slider.slider1 }}' - service: homeassistant.turn_off data: entity_id: switch.light_dining_table

and

delay: '00:{{ input_slider.slider1 }}:00'

Doesn’t work for me…

Am I missing something?

Did you got this working? If you did, can you post your code?
This would be a nice addition, to set a timer for my ceilingfan.

12

No still not working -_-"

13

Shouldn’t it be something like the following?

delay: '00:{{ states.input_slider.slider1.state | int }}:00'

Here’s mine to turn off the coffee machine.

    kitchen_turncoffeemachine_off:
      alias: "Turn Off - CoofeeMachine"
      sequence:
        - delay: '00:{{ states.input_slider.coffeemachineshotdowndelay.state | int }}:00'
        - service: switch.turn_off
          data:
            entity_id: switch.relay1

Is there a way to define the value as seconds (for testing purposes)? I’ve tried the following but that doesn’t work.

#garden_water_timer:
#  alias: "Turn off garden water after x minutes"
#  sequence:
#    - condition: state
#      entity_id: input_boolean.water_timer
#      state: 'on'
#    - delay:
#        seconds: '00:{{ states.input_slider.timer_options_slider.state | int }}:00'
#    - service: switch.turn_off
#      entity_id: switch.ed01_relay1
#    - service: switch.turn_off
#      entity_id: switch.ed01_relay2

Try it like this:

- delay: '00:00:{{ states.input_slider.timer_options_slider.state | int }}'

Thank you!

Hi @xbmcnut. Still need it? I’m sorry for my late response :slight_smile:

I got it working but it’s always valuable to have others. Could you share?
