What is the minimum daily sensor reporting?
Daily min reports 8,5
Monthly MAX shows 0,2 which is also weird…
Check the weekly/monthly values tomorrow and see if it sorts itself out overnight.
Data produced by the Utility Meter integration is stored as long-term statistics. This is the same as energy sensors and there’s this warning for them:
If it still reports incorrect values tomorrow, we’ll need to investigate.

Still the same:
Here is my code:
- trigger:
- platform: time
at: '00:00:00'
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.buienradar_temperature
sensor:
- name: 'Max temp nw'
unit_of_measurement: '°C'
device_class: temperature
state: >
{% set t_new = states('sensor.buienradar_temperature') | float(-99) %}
{{ [t_new, this.state | float(-99)] | max if trigger.platform != 'time' else t_new }}
attributes:
temperature_updated: "{{ now() | as_local }}"
- trigger:
- platform: time
at: '00:00:00'
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.buienradar_temperature
sensor:
- name: 'Min temp nw'
unit_of_measurement: '°C'
device_class: temperature
state: >
{% set t_new = states('sensor.buienradar_temperature') | float(99) %}
{{ [t_new, this.state | float(99)] | min if trigger.platform != 'time' else t_new }}
attributes:
temperature_updated: "{{ now() | as_local }}"
utility_meter:
max_temp_weekly:
source: sensor.max_temp_nw
name: Max Temp Weekly
cycle: weekly
max_temp_monthly:
source: sensor.max_temp_nw
name: Max Temp Monthly
cycle: monthly
min_temp_weekly:
source: sensor.min_temp_nw
name: Min Temp Weekly
cycle: weekly
min_temp_monthly:
source: sensor.min_temp_nw
name: Min Temp Monthly
cycle: monthly
- Go to Developer Tools > Statistics
- Find
sensor.min_temp_weeklyin the list - Check if there’s a message indicating a problem
- If there’s no problem, you can click the icon (at the end of the line) which offers you the ability to delete specific values.
- You can try to delete incorrect values and hope it fixes the problem (no guarantee this will fix it).
Repeat the steps for the other long-term sensors.

No change unfortunately. Still strange values…
You still have the daily minimum/maximum values which is what you originally asked for in your first post.
Please consider marking my post above with the Solution tag. It will automatically place a check-mark next to the topic’s title which signals to other users that this topic has been resolved. This helps users find answers to similar questions.
Post a new topic asking for assistance to create weekly/monthly sensors that report correct values. Hopefully it will attract a wider audience and someone will be able to help you.
Opened new topic for my issue. I can not mark your post as solution since I am not the topic starter for this one. Anyway, many thanks so far

@123, this was exactly what I needed for a daily stats view I’m working on. Thanks for contributing!
(If I could mark this as the solution, I would!

Based on this topic I have defined a trigger sensor to get the max. PV power for the day.
- trigger:
- platform: time
at: "00:00:00"
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.sg_total_dc_power
sensor:
- name: sg_total_dc_power_max_today
unique_id: sg_total_dc_power_max_today
unit_of_measurement: "W"
device_class: power
availability: "{{ states('sensor.sg_total_dc_power') | is_number}}"
state: >
{% set t_new = states('sensor.sg_total_dc_power') | float(-99) %}
{{ [t_new, this.state | float(-99)] | max if trigger.platform != 'time' else t_new }}
attributes:
power_updated: "{{ now() | as_local }}"
The source entity is a modus register. This register is read every 10 seconds. So the timestamp of the attribute power_updated is changed every 10 seconds. What I would like to achieve is that the attribute has the timestamp when the value of this sensor is changed the last time. So it tells when the maximum occured.
What’s the best way to get the timestamp for the max. value as attribute?

Tried to find a solution using the statistics sensor. But using this, I could only set a max_age. But I could not tell the sensor to use the data from today midnight until now.
I created a helper for it and an automation to update it based on the forecasted peak time provided by the forecast.solar integration
alias: Set PV peak time
description: >-
Update the PV peak time for today. Always update at sunrise. For updates,
check the validity of the time set.
trigger:
- platform: sun
event: sunrise
offset: 0
id: sunrise
- platform: state
entity_id:
- sensor.energy_production_today
id: update
condition:
- condition: template
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.power_highest_peak_time_today') != 'unavailable' }}"
alias: Not unavailable
action:
- if:
- condition: trigger
id: update
- condition: or
conditions:
- condition: time
after: input_datetime.pv_peak_time
alias: Do not update if peak time has passed
- condition: template
value_template: >-
{{
as_local(as_datetime(states('sensor.power_highest_peak_time_today')))
< now() }}
alias: Do not set time to the past
then:
- stop: ""
alias: Stop if update conditions are not met
- service: input_datetime.set_datetime
target:
entity_id: input_datetime.pv_peak_time
data:
datetime: >-
{{ as_local(as_datetime(states('sensor.power_highest_peak_time_today')))
}}
mode: queued
max: 10
Interesting idea.
Until now I use the peak time from SolCast integration for Node-Red flows with which I distribute the charge of the battery over the day.
However, for my sensor with the highest output of the day, I want to store the time when my PV modules delivered the highest output.
For this I now use the following definition:
attributes:
power_updated: "{{ states.sensor.sg_total_dc_power_max_today.last_changed | as_local }}"

This might be a bit out of the discussion, but it’s still related so will give it a try.
I’m looking for a long term statistic of the outdoor average temperature for each day (from midnight to midnight). A sensor providing daily outside temperature as average, max and min combined would be all in.
Long description of reason: this is for tracing power usage vs. outside temperature. And since I do have power consumption for each day easily available a daily average of the outside temperature would be a great way to monitor the performance. Heating is heat pump, 3x16kW air-to-water heat pumps, and the arrangement of the outside modules is questioned for low performace (mounted too close, and short circuit of air) so any changes made could affect power consumtion, but if outside temperature differs is’t nothing worth when comparing.
I have invested quite some time in this and thought I want to share the results:
To create two sensors that saves the max/min with timestamp as an attribute and resets periodically:
template:
- trigger:
- platform: state
not_to:
- unknown
- unavailable
entity_id: sensor.my_temp_sensor
- platform: template
value_template: "{{ now().hour == 0 }}" #resets each day
action:
- variables:
source: "{{ states('sensor.my_temp_sensor') | float }}"
now: "{{ now() }}"
sensor:
- name: Todays Maximum Temp
unique_id: today_temp_max_d
unit_of_measurement: "°C"
device_class: temperature
state_class: measurement
icon: mdi:thermometer-chevron-up
state: |
{% set current = (this.state or trigger.to_state.state) | float(source) %}
{{ source if trigger.platform == 'template' else [source, current] | max }}
attributes:
datetime: |
{% set current = (this.state or trigger.to_state.state) | float(source) %}
{{ now if (trigger.platform == 'template' or source > current) else this.attributes.datetime|default(now) }}
- name: Todays Minimum Temp
unique_id: today_temp_min_d
unit_of_measurement: "°C"
device_class: temperature
state_class: measurement
icon: mdi:thermometer-chevron-down
state: |
{% set current = (this.state or trigger.to_state.state) | float(source) %}
{{ source if trigger.platform == 'template' else [source, current] | min }}
attributes:
datetime: |
{% set current = (this.state or trigger.to_state.state) | float(source) %}
{{ now if (trigger.platform == 'template' or source < current) else this.attributes.datetime|default(now) }}
Change this for other intervals:
value_template: "{{ now().hour == 0 }}" #resets every day
value_template: "{{ now().weekday() == 0 }}" #resets every week
value_template: "{{ now().day == 1 }}" #resets every month
value_template: "{{ now().month == 1 }}" #resets each year
Thanks to @Didgeridrew for the idea.

Hello
Using the utility meter to retain non changing records longer is neat, thanks for that.
I seem to have implemented what you suggested successfully. One qq please, the timestamp recorded with the daily reading doesn’t appear to get stored in the utility helper attributes. Is there a way to add that too?
Apologies if I missed a detail along the way.
The only timestamp attribute recorded by a Utility Meter sensor is when it is reset (last_reset).

Wow … I didn’t expect so complicate when trying to get outdoor min temperature of the day 
First I tried with a custom intergration “Daily Sensor” but got non reliable results
I will learn these template and try to play with it
Thank you
I’m gonna reply here. We now have the statistic sensor in the GUI. I set it on 24 hour interval for some test value, but there is no option to reset it at midnight. It looks like it resets at the time I created the sensor… Is there a way to fix this?
I have a little bit different need of a maximum sensor value of the last calendar day (=yesterday). How to do that?
