Temperature Change in the last hour

Configuration
1

hello,

I am looking for an automation for my temperature sensor.

I need an idea how the trigger looks like, when I the temperature has changed for 5 degrees celsius in the last hour. I would like to use this to get informed, when I forgot to close the window e.g. in my bathroom in winter.

Thanks in advance for your help

Welcome!

This automation might give you some ideas. The driver is a ‘temperature difference’ sensor that I create from two ‘real’ temperature sensors, but I think the concept should work for a straight up temperature sensor.

I should have expanded more, you might need a ‘rate of change’ sensor from your temperature sensor as is described in this thread:

Good hunting!

- alias: Stove temperature
  trigger:
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.stove_kitchen_temp_diff
    above: 10
    for:
      minutes: 60
  action:
  - service: notify.pushover
    data:
      message: Stove temperature delta has been above 10ºF for 60 minutes.
      data:
        priority: 1
        sound: vibrate
  - service: tts.cloud_say
    entity_id: media_player.living_room
    data:
      message: Stove temperature delta has been above 10ºF for 60 minutes.

Can’t this be done with a derivative sensor?

There’s also the stats sensor:
