Hi, as Xiaomi vacuum changed to have information as separate sensors now instead of attributes, I’m unable to get human readable (relative time) readout of the Last Clean End sensor. I’m not a programmer so I struggle with templating, but I thought this should work:
Vacuum last cleaned {{ relative_time(states.sensor.robot_vacuum_last_clean_end.state) }}
But it returns 2021-11-06T16:30:13, not “yesterday” or “18 hours ago” (both would be fine). Problem is, the timestamp is the state of the sensor itself, so it does not have the .last_changed attribute, and I just don’t know how to pass that to relative_time.
{{ relative_time(states('sensor.robot_vacuum_last_clean_end')) }} returns the same thing (2021-11-06T16:30:13). AFAIK that’s NOT relative time.
Basically how the Devices page shows it, that’s what I want:
Please advise, thanks.
SOLUTION: I have to first make it a datetime object and only then convert it into relative_time:
{{ relative_time(as_datetime(states('sensor.robot_vacuum_last_clean_end'))) }}
