Any thoughts on the minimum temp setting itself to -99 ? I tried playing with it in the template editor but there I get the error UndefinedError: ‘trigger’ is undefined.
I tried deleting the (-99) after the float (just float() ) but that does not seem to do the trick.
edit: found it… I replaced -99 with 99 (suddenly thought of what it does) and now it works!
edit2: weekly and monthly MIN do not seem to get updated (stays on 99)
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.
You still have the daily minimum/maximum values which is what you originally asked for in your first post.

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:
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.
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.
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?
