Solution on ESP32 to count the total Running time from a Pump. (without History stats)

[DjOlf (c)]

Hello everybody,
i am searching since many days how to get a total Running time for a Pump directly on ESP32. I don’t want to use History stats because it is running on HA server and not directly on the esp32 (in case of loosing the WiFi ).
I got some code from another Topic but it is not running.
I just want to capture the time at teh start and get the running time when it is stopping and save it in a variable like 00:00:00
Can somebody help here to debug?

Counting seconds binary sensor is on in 24 hour period

First pass below. Compiles but in no way tested. globals: # used to store timestamp for sensor on - id: timestamp type: int time: - platform: sntp id: sntp_time # at midnight: on_time: - seconds: 0 minutes: 0 hours: 0 then: # reset daily time counter - sensor.template.publish: id: run_time state: !lambda 'return 0;' binary_sensor: # input binary sensor we want to calculate total on-time for …

here is my modified code :

• id: Switch1_TotalRuntimeStart
  type: int
  restore_value: no
  initial_value: ‘0’

• id: Switch1_TotalRuntime
  type: int
  restore_value: yes
  initial_value: ‘0’

• platform: template
  name: “Switch1_TotalRuntimeTest2”
  id: Switch1_TotalRuntimeTest2

switch:

• platform: gpio
  name: “Switch1”
  inverted: yes
  pin: 13
  restore_mode: ALWAYS_OFF
  id: switch1
  on_turn_on:
  then:
  - output.turn_on: SensorChooser_S0
  - output.turn_off: SensorChooser_S1
  - output.turn_on: SensorChooser_S2
  - output.turn_on: SensorChooser_Z
  - output.turn_off: SensorChooser_E
  - lambda: ‘id(Switch1_TotalRuntimeStart) = id(sntp_time).now().timestamp;’
  - logger.log: {level: INFO, format: "Switch1_TotalRuntimeStart %i ", args: [Switch1_TotalRuntimeStart]}
  #- delay: 300s
  #- switch.turn_off: switch1

  on_turn_off:
  then:
  - output.turn_off: SensorChooser_S0
  - output.turn_off: SensorChooser_S1
  - output.turn_off: SensorChooser_S2
  - output.turn_off: SensorChooser_Z
  - output.turn_on: SensorChooser_E
  - lambda: |-
  id(Switch1_TotalRuntime) = id(Switch1_TotalRuntime) + (id(Switch1_TotalRuntimeStart)- id(sntp_time).now().timestamp);
  id(Switch1_TotalRuntimeStart) = 0;
  - sensor.template.publish:
  id: Switch1_TotalRuntimeTest2
  state: !lambda ‘return id(Switch1_TotalRuntimeTest2).state + (id(sntp_time).now().timestamp - id(Switch1_TotalRuntimeStart));’
  - logger.log: {level: INFO, format: "Switch1_TotalRuntimeTest2 %i ", args: [id(Switch1_TotalRuntimeTest2).state]}
  - logger.log: {level: INFO, format: "Switch1_TotalRuntimeStart %i ", args: [Switch1_TotalRuntimeStart]}
  - logger.log: {level: INFO, format: "sntp_time %i ", args: [id(sntp_time).now().timestamp]}

here nothing is calculated.
why is the start value in Int so far from the stop value(sntp_time) , it runned only few seconds
